Yagya Diwas
One day each year when homes across the world light the same sacred fire.

01कारणThe reason
Why 17 September?
Yagya Diwas was born of a simple call from Yagya Putra: on 17 September, let every family perform a havan.
The date falls at the close of the monsoon, when stagnant water breeds mosquitoes and insects and seasonal fevers rise. Gurudev teaches that havan smoke, spreading through homes and villages at this time, purifies the air and protects the household.
First observed in 2023, the day has grown every year. In 2026 the fourth International Yagya Diwas was celebrated with a 1008-kund Mahayagya at Jayanti Devi Mandir, Jind.

03विधिThe way
A havan at home, step by step
Simple enough for any family, sacred enough for any day. Allow about thirty minutes.
Choose the hour
Sunrise or sunset is traditional. Bathe, wear clean clothes and sit facing east with your family.
Set the kund
Place a small copper or clay kund on a fire-proof surface. Keep a kalash of water, a diya and flowers beside it.
Take the sankalp
Hold a little water and rice, and state your intention — for whom, and for what, you offer this yagya.
Kindle the fire
Light camphor on a bed of thin samidha. Add sticks gently, letting the flame breathe.
Offer the ahuti
With each स्वाहा, offer a spoon of ghee or a pinch of samagri with the fingertips of the right hand. After each offering, say इदं न मम.
Purnahuti and aarti
Make a final offering with the whole family, perform aarti, and share prasad.
Return the ash
When the fire has burned out and the ash is cool, offer it to the soil of a plant or a tree.
04मन्त्रMantras
