Many Hindu temples still perform such fire rituals, particularly in South India. Some yajnas are specifically astrological in nature. There are broad social fire rituals for universal peace and the general well-being of the world. There are special fire rituals for specific purposes, like the achievement of personal goals such as prosperity or spiritual goals such as the reduction of negative karmas. There are daily, monthly and seasonal fire rituals for keeping us in harmony with the cosmic movement of the light. Such fire rituals are called yajnas (pronounced ‘yagyas’) in the Vedic tradition. They sustain the bond of the sacred fire in an age that has forgotten the luminous origins of life. They perform regular rituals to honor the sacred link with the universe that fire represents, much like the ancients once did all over the world. Native and tribal peoples today remain closely connected to the sacred fire. Their human personality was exchanged for a sacred role as guardians of the light. They became a sacrifice, as it were, offering their lives to the cosmic fire. Meditating on the sacred fire linked them with the sacred order of life, which they called ‘sacrifice’ owing its interdependence.

The sacred fire was their main tool of communication with both inner and outer worlds, through which they could contact channels of universal thought and energy as easily as we can tune into our different broadcasting stations. Through it they touched the cosmic mind of which our human mind is but a spark. Through it, they achieved a state of consciousness far beyond our current idea of intelligence defined by the scientific mind and its emulation of external reality. They lit its flames on their altars and in their hearts as the Divine consciousness coming forth from the material world. No philosophy was necessary to explain its self-evident effulgence. We cannot find truth in outer forms any more than we can see fire in wood that has not been enkindled.įor the ancient sages the soul was the sacred fire. Truth is not the evident form, but the hidden fire. Whatever is put into words immediately becomes profane, a commodity capable of manipulation and distortion. Their goal is to stimulate our own insight and experience, not merely to pass on a belief or idea as final. The wise prefer to intimate the truth for real seekers whose minds are receptive, rather than trying to broadcast it to those who are not really interested. The wise often avoid stating anything directly because most people are unprepared to see the truth. Vedic sages articulated this approach stating that ‘the Gods love the mysterious and dislike the obvious’. The great spiritual teachings of the ancient world-deriving from an era before our consciousness became dominated by the rational mind-speak primarily in terms of symbols.
