Divine Offerings for Peaceful Existence

Fire is the purest form of the five elements that are earth, water, fire, air and ether, because it can never get contaminated. It is the ideal element for meditation. Any pure fire offering harnesses the Cosmic energy through chants and transfers the energy to the water stored for this purpose which in turn is used to energise the place and people.

Offering pancha arati - 5 offerings lit camphor - to the seven presiding deities of the seven chakras

Saptayaaham is a humongous fire offering to the seven presiding deities of the seven vital chakras (energy centers) in the human system. The human system has seven major energy centers called the chakras. These chakras are associated with our various emotions that cause disturbance in the mind and therefore in the body. Each of these chakras is associated with a deity which when worshipped symbolically, takes one beyond the clutches of the associated emotions and liberates one in that sense.

This offering which is really a deep meditation, cleanses collective negativity, and purifies the ozone layer as well.
