01Scripture
The oldest act of worship
The Vedas open with Agni, and the Gita calls yagya the wheel that turns the world: from action comes yagya, from yagya rain, from rain food, and from food all life.
Bhagavad Gita 3.14
अयं यज्ञो भुवनस्य नाभिः
“This Yagya is the navel of the world.” — Rigveda 1.164.35
Chakravarti Yagya Samratयज्ञ पुत्र Yagya PutraShri Shri 1008 Hari Om Ji Maharaj
104 Mahayagyas. A sankalp of 108. One sacred fire carried from the Himalaya to the Arabian Sea — so that every home can light its own.
घर घर यज्ञ · हर घर यज्ञ
01आवाहनInvocation
Long before the word ecology existed, the rishis of Bharat built a ritual around one truth: what you offer, returns. Ghee and herbs return as fragrant air. Gratitude returns as rain. Ego, offered to the fire, returns as peace. That truth, set alight, is called यज्ञ.
02सहस्रA thousand fires
One fire became a thousand.
1008kunds ablaze
At Kurukshetra in March 2025, 1008 kunds burned together for nine days — the 102nd Mahayagya of Yagya Putra.

03यजमानThe Yajman
A life offered, ahuti by ahuti
Revered by his devotees as Gurudev Bhagwan, Shri Shri 1008 Hari Om Ji Maharaj has given his life to a single sadhana — Yagya.
It began more than 25 years ago with a lone fire, lit during his sannyas yatra on the ruins of a forgotten Sun temple. It has grown into Mahayagyas where 1008 kunds blaze at once, across 24 states of Bharat — and into a vow of 108 Mahayagyas for the welfare of the world.
Maa Tripura Sundari Dham · Manikoot Parvat, Rishikesh
His title, word by word
Every word of the title is a chapter of his life. Select one.
Chakravarti
Whose wheel turns everywhere
In the old texts, a sovereign whose chakra rolls unopposed across every land. Here it names a fire that has travelled to every corner of Bharat.
Yagya Samrat
Emperor of Yagya
A title earned in fire: more than a hundred Mahayagyas, some with 1008 kunds blazing at the same moment.
Dharma Pracharak
Propagator of Dharma
He carries Sanatan wisdom out of the temple and into the courtyard of every home — in plain words, and through the fire itself.
Tripura Peeth Peethadhishwar
Head of the Tripura Peeth
Presiding head of the Tripura Peeth — the seat of Maa Rajrajeshwari Tripura Sundari at Manikoot Dham, in the Rajaji forests near Rishikesh.
Shri Shri 1008
The highest honorific
Reserved for the most revered saints. 1008 is the number of completeness — the count of the sacred names of the Divine.
Hari Om Ji Maharaj
His name
Hari, the one who takes away sorrow, joined with Om, the first sound of creation.
Yagya Putra
Son of Yagya
The name his devotees gave him — because his whole life has been one long offering into the sacred fire.
04यात्राThe Yatra
From one fire to a thousand
A path traced in ash and light — milestones of a life spent beside the sacred fire.
05आहुतिThe Offering
Five things meet in every yagya
A yagya is a meeting — of fire and earth, matter and mantra, the giver and the given. Select an element.
अग्नि
AgniThe fire
The first word of the Rigveda. Agni is the messenger between worlds — the mouth through which every offering reaches the Divine.
कुण्ड
KundThe altar
A stepped pit of copper, brick or earth. Its terraces, the mekhalas, hold the fire like cupped hands; the ancient Shulba Sutras give the exact geometry.
समिधा
SamidhaThe sacred wood
Dry sticks of mango, peepal, palash or khair — chosen woods that burn clean and steady, the body the fire lives in.
हवि
HaviThe offering
Cow ghee, herbal samagri, grains and jaggery — the havi that the fire transforms into fragrance and light.
मन्त्र
MantraThe sacred sound
Each ahuti is sealed with स्वाहा — “well offered” — and the yajman adds इदं न मम: this is not mine.
इदं न मम
Idam na mama
“This is not mine.” Three words after every offering — the whole philosophy of yagya in one breath.
06क्योंWhy Yagya
Four ways to see the same flame
02Science
What the smoke does
Peer-reviewed research found that medicinal havan smoke cut airborne bacteria by more than 94% within an hour — and the effect lasted a full day in a closed room.
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2007
03Nature
A ritual of reciprocity
Yagya treats the earth, the waters and the plants as partners, not resources. The Yajurveda’s Shanti mantra asks for peace in the sky, the waters and the healing herbs alike.
Shukla Yajurveda 36.17
04Mind
A fire for the inner world
Rhythmic mantra slows the breath; the flame gathers a scattered mind to one point; and इदं न मम loosens the grip of ego. Many come for the ritual and stay for the stillness.
BMJ, 2001 · Int. Journal of Yoga, 2011

Its Department of Microbiology studied the “bacterial effect of havan medicinal smoke”, sampling air before and after havan in a dedicated room. The havan samagri formulation received a patent in February 2023, and ₹30 lakh was sanctioned for detailed research.

09यज्ञ दिवसYagya Diwas
One day. Every home. One fire.
Every 17 September, at the call of Yagya Putra, households across India and abroad light a havan together — for clean air, for health, for the world. In 2026 the fourth International Yagya Diwas was marked with a 1008-kund Mahayagya at Jind.

Light one fire. Change the air you breathe.
You don’t need a thousand kunds. One small fire, a little ghee, a handful of samagri — and a heart that says इदं न मम.

स्वाहा! Your sankalp is lit.
