The Spiritual message behind Aswamedha Yagna.

  •  Aswamedha Yagna Homam is an aged Hindu custom performed to summon Agni, the God of flame, by offering Ghee (elucidated spread) and other conciliatory offerings. As Havih means Ghee and Havisha means offering and Yagya means present, Homa is likewise called Havan and Yagya. In the wake of performing the Pooja, a flame is lit in a Homakunda as indicated in the above picture.

  • On the off chance that one has done 1000 mantra presentations amid the pooja, the 1/10 of that number, i.e., 100 times the mantra is discussed again and with every mantra presentation Ghee is poured into the Homakunda. The elements shift as indicated by the divinity worshiped. Brahma is the inventor of the world and the Sun God is His child. The Sun is the primary wellspring of vitality and blaze speaks to Sun. Thus finishing the Pooja with offering to flame is viewed as extremely promising and upgrades the advantageous impacts of the pooja.Actually a Homa and Yagya (additionally called Yajna) are the same however Yagya is a much bigger scale Homa. To provide for you a thought: the acclaimed Ekadasa Rudram where ordinarily 11 intellectuals perform the Homa is called Rudra Ekadasa Homam. Whereas the Ati Rudram, where 121 intellectuals perform the Homa is called Ati Rudra Yagya. Give me a chance to provide for you an alternate viewpoint. Ashoka, Akbar & Vikramaditya were Maharajas, i.e., lords. 

  • As they administered limitless kingdoms they were likewise called "Chakravarti", i.e., Emperors. Whereas the maharaja of Junagad and the maharaja of Patiala were just rulers and not sovereigns. So in the event that you get a Havan/Homa done by a couple of savants, you ought not to call it a Yagya. Today a great deal of stargazers and sites are guaranteeing to perform "Yajnas" or "Yagnas" or "Yagyas". There are insufficient qualified ministers in a percentage of the nations and spots where they guarantee these! It doubtlessly sounds incredible and you picture a fantastic Vedic service to wipe out all your transgressions.

  • Ashwamedha yagna was a very grand and elaborate shrauta sacrifice. It was performed by yudhisthira and by the king of the country. Ashwamedhas , horse sacrifice is also known as haya medha sacrifice. It is to establish a king as the overlord of the world. Those who perform a hundred such sacrifices will be rewarded with the post of Indra.Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita said, "This creation is a yagna". 

  • Yagna likewise means present and by this he implied that creation is an unceasing stream of conception and passing: it is an offering where one's demise gives path for the conception of an alternate, ceaselessly; something gets yielded for something to emerge. This is the way the Vedas, decipher the creation and in the domain of the Vedas, the homa is yet a small model of this Universal Sacrifice. Homas is determined from Veda's contains the most elevated type of information .The solitary objective of Veda is to guide man through the right way, and Homas structures the pith of every last one of Karmas endorsed in the Vedas.Benefits of Performing Homam: Negative impacts will be minimized Frail planets are fortified Trained personality, genuine feelings of serenity Briskness in activity and resultTherefore by performing the homams, we can dispose of the awful outcomes. Performing homam is useful for all. 

  • After every homam, ministers are sustained with vedic supplications to God.Its objective was the acquisition of power and glory, the sovereignty over neighbouring provinces and general provinces of the kingdom.Ashwamedha (horse sacrifice) was one of the most important royal rituals. Ashwamedha was one of the five rites forbidden in the kali yoga, present age.Ashwa is the symbol of mobility, valour and strength and medha is the symbol of supreme wisdom and intelligence.Actually the natural meaning of ashwamedha is the combination of the valour and strength and illumed the power of intellect. It is the combination of these two for selfless and other centred motives. Which may create the ideal society and nation? This is the reason why the making is called the ashwamedha.

  • Ashwamedha yagna was performed by all the famous kings of lunar and solar dynasties. Yajna was a very grand and elaborate and prohibitively expensive to perform for a commoner. Only a king would undertake this yagna. And also it indicates the prosperity of ancient India since it has performed well. The yajna begins by releasing the ritual horse I spring season for the current year. The king also undertook tough diksha every year.The king may have fought many battles if needed to recover and protect the horse.
