Yagyas are a unique feature of Indian
spirituality. Since time immemorial, yagyas have been performed in this country
for purification of the environment for preserving echo-balance as well as for mass treatment of physical and
mental ailments. Yagyas have been time-tested means for amelioration of
stress in individual, family and social environment by serving as an interface
between the physical and subtle forces of nature. Large -scale Yagyas have
also, provided opportunities for interaction between socially committed people.
Performance of traditional yagyas had, however, been an
elaborate time-consuming process. In the existing scenario, with the changes in
the life-styles of people, it is not possible to cover the vast majority of
people through the traditional system of yagya. It is evident that the
field of work of the mission is vast. In order to spread the ideology of the mission, the
missionaries would be required to reach out to every nook and corner of towns, cities,
villages, suburbs of the land– in fact contact persons door-to-door. Such mass
contacts would require collecting such persons in small and big assemblies who are
sensitive to the needs of society, have faith in moral values and are
intrinsically benevolent. Since a majority of meetings and celebrations now-a
days are being organized for emotional exploitation by vested interests, people
are reluctant to participate in them. Social workers are particularly averse to
such gatherings. The mission has found a simple solution to this problem by
collecting people through the medium of “Dipa Yagyas”.
