In the evening , exactly at the local
time of sunset, while offering the two oblations(offering
rice grains smeared with cow's ghee) the following
mantras are to be uttered clearly and in a steady
voice :
Agnaye
Svaha. Agnaye Idam Na Mama
(Release
the first offering in the fire)
Prajapataye
Svaha. Prajapataye Idam Na Mama
(Release the second offering in the fire)
This
completes the evening(Sunset) Agnihotra.
The oblations should be offered to the fire very
attentively. After the offerings, concentrate on
the fire. Sit as long as you feel comfortable. In
these moments of complete concentration you will
feel pleasently relaxed, peaceful and vigorously
happy. This state of mind remains so till the next
Agnihotra time and, therefore, this morning/evening
cycle should not be disturbed. |
