Birthday Yagya
February 26, 2008
On your birthday, the tradition is to perform an Ayush Yagya for long life and then Mrytunjaya Yagya for health, peacefulness and enlightenment. Finally, at the end of all that, the priest takes the kalasha pot with water which has absorbed all the goodness of the mantras, and pours the water over your head.
It probably sounds like so much mumbo-jumbo, but it is one of the best yagya experiences you can have. The effect is unmistakable and you definitely feel purified.
