In Sanatan Dharma, Agni is considered one of the five elements and is worshipped as a deity. Agni Dev holds a special place in all important rituals of our life, such as marriage and Yajna.
But do you know that before starting a Havan, it is very important to know where Agni Dev is residing at that particular time? This placement of Agni is called Agnivaas. Based on the location of Agni’s residence, it is decided how successful and fruitful your Havan will be. Let us understand this ancient and important rule in simple words.
What is Agnivaas and its importance?
The direct meaning of Agnivaas is the place of residence of Agni. According to religious beliefs, Agni Dev resides in different places (or lokas) depending on the day and time. Before performing a Havan, we must know whether Agni is in an auspicious place or an inauspicious place.
- Auspicious Agnivaas (Prithvi Loka):
When Agni Dev resides in the earthly realm, it is considered the most auspicious time for performing a Havan. Any Havan performed during this period is highly successful and fruitful. It brings happiness, prosperity, good health, and fulfills all your desires.
- Inauspicious Agnivaas (Aakash Loka or Paataal Loka):
When Agni Dev resides in the sky or in the netherworld, it is considered inauspicious for performing a Havan. At such times, the Havan does not bring good results, but rather may cause difficulties, obstacles, losses, or failures.
Therefore, to ensure the success of your Havan and to receive its complete benefits, it is very important to calculate the correct Agnivaas.
