Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Aswamedha Yagna in Madurai, India—Live on Internet >From times immemorial, daily Gayatri Mantra Chanting and Agnihotra (Yagya) have been the two cardinal principles and upholders of perennial Vedic Culture of Ancient India. Gayatri Mantra Chanting symbolizes constant remembrance of the Supreme Spirit of the Cosmos that guides us towards the righteous wisdom; and Yagya symbolizes the mutual ceaseless sharing and caring of the cosmic energies and processes, which keep the harmony of the spheres intact. Ashwamedha Yagya As `Ashwa' is the symbol of mobility, valour and strength and the `medha' is the symbol of supreme wisdom and intelligence, the natural meaning of `Ashwamedha' can be taken as "the combination of the valour and strength and illumined power of intellect". It is the combination of these two for selfless and other-centered motives that may create an ideal society and nation. This is the reason, why the making of a nation has been called `Ashwamedha'. Ashwamedha yagyas as propounded and performed by All World Gayatri Pariwar in the present day context, means – Cosmic Energy (Ashwa) led and guided by Medha (Enlightened Intelligence) for collective awakening and ennobling of society. Shantikunj, Haridwar based All World Gayatri Pariwar has so far performed 29 such mass scale Mahayagyas (23 in India and 6 abroad). The one going to be performed at Madurai Meenakshi Teerth from Dec 29, 2005 to Jan 1 2006 will be the thirtieth in this chain and the first in the holy land of Tamilnadu, India.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Dear Vipul , Is it Ashwamedha yadnya or Ashwamedh Yadnya ? I believe the yadnya done by Lord Ram was Ashwamedh yadnya where a particular Ashwa is allowed to roam the earth followed by a mighty army . Whereever the horse goes , that land comes directly or indirectly under the control of that king . At the end of the yadnya the horse is killed - so Ashwamedh . Correct me if I am wrong .
