Pic courtesy- Mahayaga In Hinduism , yajña ( Sanskrit : यज्ञ ; IAST : yajña , also transliterated yagya or yadnya ) or yagam ( Tamil : யாகம் ), is a ritual of offerings accompanied by chanting of Vedic mantras (also " worship , prayer , praise, offering and oblation, sacrifice" according to Monier-Williams ) derived from the practice in Vedic times. Yajna is an ancient ritual of offering and sublimating the havana sámagri (herbal preparations) in the fire. The sublime meaning of the word yajna is derived from the Sanskrit verb yaj, which has a three-fold meaning of worship of deities (devapujana), unity (saògatikaraña) and charity (dána). [1] An essential element is the ritual fire – the divine Agni – into which oblations are poured, as everything that is offered into the fire is believed to reach God.
