Therapeutic Benefits of Yagya

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

Amidst the fascinating achievements of the modern era of science and technology
in improving our comfort levels, stress and pollution have posed the major
challenge for man. The world is beginning to realize that the comforts provided to
us by modern science and technology do not necessarily always make life easier.
In fact, apart from greater stress and tension, more unknown diseases, untold
anxiety and fear is caused by the highly polluted environment and ecological
imbalance. This has raised alarming call for rethinking and guiding the common
life style. Yagya appears to be a boon of the ancient Indian sciences for achieving
this purpose.

In a physical laboratory, it might not be possible to demonstrate the spiritual
effects of Yagya, but the physical and mental effects of Yagyas can be certainly
tested, and the claims to cure physical and mental diseases through Yagya can be
verified. The Brahmavarchas Shodha Sansthan (a scientific research centre in
Hardwar, India) has taken up research on this aspect of Yagya.
It is to be noted here that the traditional systems of treatment of physical diseases
employ medicines which are mostly administered orally. They, therefore,
produce effects only after they have been digested and absorbed into the system.
Most part of the medicine taken orally neither is nor utilized by the digestive
system. Such medicines may also upset digestion seriously. The same is more or
less true medicines directly injected into the blood. They produce results quicker,
but their adverse side effects are often more pronounced. White corpuscles of the
blood resent intrusion of any foreign bodies into the blood, and sometimes the
reaction of the system to the sudden, massive and direct intrusion of foreign
matter into the blood through injection proves most serious, and even fatal. In a
Yagya, medicines and herbs are vaporized by offering them into the sacrificial
fire, and they enter the human body in a gaseous form through the nose, lungs
and the pores of the skin. This might be proved to be easiest, least taxing, least
risky and most effective method of administering a medicine so as to reach every
single cell of the body.

The possibilities of curing mental diseases by Yagya are even more alluring.
Diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders is still in its infancy in the modern
systems of treatment. There are neither well established diagnostic aids, nor any
recognized system of treatment of diseases like Neurosis, Psychosis,
Schizophrenia, Depression, Tension, Melancholia, Mania, Hysteria etc. On the
other hand, psychosomatic diseases are even more rampant than physical
diseases and they wreck the man more than the latter.

Manifestation of psychosomatic diseases except in extreme and advanced cases is
not so apparent, and that may explain why enough attention has not been paid to
them. The stress and strain of modern life, degradation of social behavior and fall
in moral values all around are contributing to an alarming increase in
psychosomatic diseases. Yagya might offer a solution to this serious problem as
well.

The technique of Yagya for the treatment of physical and mental diseases does
not comprise mere vaporization of the constituents or herbs to be employed, but
various Samidhas are offered into the sacrificial fire of Yagya to create the
desired effects. Research on all these aspects of Yagya is being conducted in the
laboratory of Brahmvarchas. It might well lead to the development of a
scientifically established in yagnopathy, which may find not only an honored but
a leading place in other therapies of the world like Allopathy, Homeopathy,
Chromopathy, Naturopathy, etc. Looking to the high intellectual caliber and
attainments of those who are engaged in research, Yagnopathy may come into
being sooner than expected, and it may rank a unique achievement of the modern
age.
