Dev Yajnya: Agnihotra
Havan / Agnihotra is a component of Deva Yajnya and is an example of deva puja which means honoring or worshipping of devas, sangtikaran i.e. company of fellow truth seekers and dan giving/donating back to the society and the physical universe which makes our life more fruitful.
Havan/Agnihotra is performed as a fire ceremony by lighting fire in the havan kund (a sacred fire pot: see below), chanting select mantras as prayers to Eeshvara/God, and putting oblations of ghee and sämigri (mixture of fragrant herbs and incense) in the fire to purify and brighten the surrounding environment.
Havan is usually a group activity including family, friends, and other respected members of the society and is often conducted as part of weekly or daily satsang (see below for details), but may be done alone if company is not available. Thus, havan has spiritual aspects both at a personal (adhyātmic) and group (adhibhoutic) level as well as at physical (adhidevic) level.
