Please tell us the practical ways of performing the five Yagyas mentioned in our Scriptures in Sanatan Dharma for a householder. Also, please show us the postures of the hand when performing tarpaṇ (offerings) to divine entities
Brahma Yagya
Brahma Yagya means study to Vedas, Shrimad Bhagavat, recite Vishnu Sahasranām, Hanuman Calisa, a verse from Gita every day etc. This is food for your intellect which will give you good and positive thoughts.
Dev Yagya
Deva Yagya means to worship deities. Start your day with worshipping God in the morning. Furthermore, we should worship the wind god by not polluting the air and the god of water (Varun deva) by not polluting or wasting water.
Pitru Yagya
Pitru Yagya is carried out by offering libation with water to our ancestors or forefathers, through pitru tirtha based on the palm of our hands.
Bhūt Yagya
Bhūt Yagya means feeding the other beings such as ants, birds, cows and other animals.
Manuṣya Yagya
Guests that arrive at your home are the form of God, thus invite them with love, respect them and care for them. If one comes hungry to you, feed them. If one asks you for help, then help according to your capability.
