Omm Namo Bhagavate
From 21-23 October, a Chaturveda Yajna was completed at the Satyachetana Ganeshpuri campus, home of the Veda Research Institute and Vedavidya Gurukulam. The scale and scope of this event cannot be overstated. Each mantra of the Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharva Vedas—a total of 20,552 mantras—was chanted with individual fire oblations. Other than the Satyachetana Chaturveda Yajna held in 2017 in Bhubaneswar, an event of this magnitude has perhaps not been attempted in 5000 years.
The purpose of this yajna was to serve as the purnahuti (final oblation) on behalf of the 81 kartas, or sponsors, that completed three years of Brahma Kunda yajnas for the benefit of humanity, from 14 September 2021 through 14 September 2024. In addition to the complete Veda chanting mentioned above, specific mantras were also chanted for each of the 81 kartas, based on each one’s evolutionary birth chart as per Vedic astrology. 14 of the 81 kartas were physically present, and represented the whole group by performing various roles in this sacred and powerful event.
The process culminated with the immersion of the sacred ash from all of the Veda kundas into the sea at Rameshwaram. Nearly 100 people traveled eight hours south from the yajna for this, and for the darshan of the Jyotirlingam at Ramanathaswamy Temple the next morning, accompanied by purifying baths from each of the temple’s 22 holy water tanks.
