I had suggested 9-30 as the time for this event, but others suggested an earlier Muhuurtha (auspicious hour) due to the showers that came this morning. My sankalpa (resolve) prevailed, and we are meeting here to inaugurate the yajna at 9-30 itself! Aanandha is ultimately based on food, food is derived from rain, rain is the gift of God in exchange for yajna offerings. Yajna is a rite done as per the Karmakaanda, a part of the Vedhas dealing with action. So, the Vedha Purusha (Vedhic God-head) is the spring out of which Aanandha wells. That is why this yajna is called Vedha Purusha Yajna.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderYajnaSatya Sai BabaHindu ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsArticle
