Paramahamsa lights the fire circles for panchatapas.
Panchatapas is a fire meditation wherein one sits inside the fire circle for several hours in the presence of the Master. This technique drastically reduces the TPS (Thoughts Per Second) in a person, thereby taking them from crowded thoughts to reduced number of thoughts, which can in turn put them in the intuitive plane of decision making. Also, it destroys the rajasic - aggressive, and tamasic - lethargic attitudes in them and causes them to fall into the sattvic - neutral plane of functioning. It also increases the immunity of the nervous system.
