Gayatri Yagya

[Guest guest]

Q.10. How are `Tantrik Mukhs' different from Vedic Yagyas?

 

Ans. As opposed to Vedic Yagya performed during the day, Tantrik Mukhs are

executed at night. `Holika Dahan', burning of `funeral pyre' etc. fall in the

category of Mukh. Mukhs are performed during night for various reasons. The

oblations consist of non-eatable and untouchable objects. The sight too is not

pleasant. The associated rituals are predominantly full of Tamogun. There is

also no consideration for violence or non-violence during the performance. For

all these considerations and to avoid interference from prying, Mukhs are

organized at solitary, unknown places in utmost privacy.
