OM SRI GURUPYONAMAHA RESPECTFUL PRANAMS TO SRI KANCHI MAHA PERIVA. SPURCE :- HINDUDHARMA -- PUBLISHED BY BHARATHIYA VIDYA BHAVAN- CHAPTER 25 - MAHA PERIVA SAYS
Briefly told ,a yajna is making an oblation to a deity in the fire with the chanting of mantras.In a sense the mantras themselves constitute the form of the deities invoked.In other sense ,the mantras like the materials placed in the fire, are the sustenance of the celestials invoked. They enhance their powers and serve more than one purpose. We pay taxes to government .However, the various imposts,professional tax, land tax and so on and are collected by different offices. There are different stamp papers for different purposes. Similarly for each Karma or religious work there is an individual deity ,a separate mantra , a particular material etc. but the ultimate GOAL of all these is dedication to the SUPREME GOD. We must realise that the sacrifices performed for various deities have behind them a GOAL. ,the PARAMATMA. PARAMESHWARA,the Supreme GOD knows each one of us better than we know ourselves.HE also knows whether we perform yajna properly. As mentioned before for each sacrifice ,there are three essential requirements ,the mantra,the material for oblation and the deity to be invoked, the three bringing together speech,hand( body) and mind. . Sri Kanchi Maha Periva THIRUVADIGAL CHARANAM
