Abstract

To investigate the effect of yagya with Gayetri mantra on the seed germination and seedling growth of Tritieum aestivm, systematic research has been conducted on yagya in which effect of yagya fumes on seed germination has been observed. It has been reported that the germination rate index is 85.08% and 48.15% respectively in seeds that are kept in presence of yagya fumes and control ( in absence of yagya fumes) respectively and coefficient of velocity of germination is 77.021% and 36.076% respectively in seeds kept in presence of yagya fumes and control. While mean germination time has been reported to be 1.29 days and 2.77 days respectively in seeds which were placed in presence of yagya fumes and control. The germinated seeds were observed for seedling development and it has been found that the growth of root length and shoot length were 11.875 cm and 11.762 cm respectively in the germinated seeds which were kept in presence of yagya fumes while the growth of root and shoot length were 8.352 cm and 7.904 cm respectively in the germinated seeds that kept in absence of yagya fumes.

Summary

Introduction

Indic culture counts Yagya as the bedrock of the holy set of 4 texts that make up Vedas and subsequent Veda-inspired literature. Since millennia, varied Yagya procedures have held a hallowed place in the collective memory of Indian subcontinent. This procedure involving fire, herbs and mantras has been performed for therapy – as in Ayurveda, maintaining ecological balance as well as attaining temporal and spiritual goals [1]. The Vedic system considers Yagya as the key to attain and maintain sustainable ecological development. “Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam” is the common denominator amongst all Vedic and Veda inspired belief system. This corresponds to the entire Earth community as one family – a family that includes all the inhabitants of the planet, including plants and animals [2]. Following the Vedic thought, it is mandatory to administer health and wellbeing to plants and animals too
