Abstract :

Background: Yagna, mani mantra are part of holistic management, Daivavyapasharya is least explored, demands scrutiny to be accepted. Traditional practices retested with multiple variables, not a controlled design .Effect on airborne microbes, fungi is scientifically validated. Chemical constituents of ash collected after yagna, compared constituents, its effect on germination of Dolichos biflourus.Objectives : 1)Scientific evaluation of yagna, its effect on airborne icrobes.2)Comparative study of Narasimha yagna done in different seasons.3)Chemical analysis of ash collected after yagna, its effect on germination, Materials & methods: Active air monitoring method utilizing microbiological air sampler manufactured by Merk was used.Ash analysis was performed using Optima 8000 optical emission spectrometer and compared. Results : Microbial count to a greater extent than fungal count reduction is recorded in all Narasimha yagnas. Germination of Dolichs biflorous seeds medicated with ash seen to grow nine times faster than control. Conclusion: Wind direction, velocity, the volume, rhythm of chanting, maintaining the temperature , material utilized and numerous other aspects for the yagna are to yet be uniformly designed to attain statistically significant results in all yagnas.
