Yagna is one of the Vedic traditions of
utmost importance in Indian culture. All incarnations of
Bhagawan have affirmed importance of Yagna in human life in one
or other way. Bhagawan Shree Swaminarayan have re-established
this ancient tradition in society in His unique way. Sadguru Shastriji Maharaj also continued this tradition anew. In fact,
the Yagna is the undivided part of Gurukul tradition.
Sadguru Shatanand Swami bestowed all of us
with the Janmangal Stotra, which consists of 108 names of the
Almighty Bhagawan Shree Swaminarayan derived from His divine
charitras (deeds). Recitation of this Janmnagal Stotra removes
miseries and enhances happiness in life, also fulfils the
desires. On last ‘Chaturmas’ Pujya Purani Shree Hariswarupdasji
Swami inspired the devotees to perform eleven recitations of
Janmangl daily. With one thousand participants, it is possible
to do one Purascharan of Janmangal daily. Over two
thousands devotees contributed enthusiastically with great
devotional fervour. As a 'Dashansh Havan' of this great
Janmangal Anushthan a ‘Prarthanamay Vishwashanti Mahavishnu
Yag’ was arranged by Sadguru Purani Swami Shree
Bhaktiprakashdasji Swami at SGVP from November 26 to 30, 2007.
Participants offered the Aahuties with the Mantra of
Janmangal Stotra, Sarvamangal Stotra, Vishnu Sahsra Nam, Purush
Sukta, Shree Sukta and Hanuman Sukta.
Ritual of Dehsudhdhi was performed on
November 25, 2007 at 04:00 pm for the participants at Gurukul
Ahmedabad. On 26 November morning, 07:30 am ritual of Arani
Manthan was performed. In this ritual, the holy fire was
produced by the friction of wood particularly of tree Aarani.

After the initial poojan and Agni-sthapan in Yagna-Kund the
saints and devotees offered the oblations (Ahuties) with the
recitation of Janmangal Stotra, Sarvamanagal Stotra, Vishnu-Sahasra
Nam and other stotras. During five days, lakhs of Ahuties were
offered with the recitation of stotras.
