Pot to be used of a specific shape and size

The pot into which Agnihotra oblations are offered is a unique receptacle of wonderful attributes. It may be well describe as a silent storehouse of energy. The pot is made of either pure copper or clay. No other metal or material is used in the making of the pot. It is of a definate shape and its length, breadthand height are also geometrically related to pyramidal dimensions. The pot used for the purpose of Agnihotra is 14.5 cms x 14.5 cms at the open top. 5.25 x 5.25 cms at the bottom and its height is 6.5 cms. The dimensions must accurately conform to the above mentioned measurements, not even slightest variation is allowed. The homa or havan pots sold in the market are neither of pure copper nor of accurate measurements, so they should not be used for Agnihotra.

Pyramid literally means a structure in the centre of which is located a point of fire like energy. Dr. Flanagan describes it as “Bio-cosmic-energy”. It is an acknowledge fact that a pyramid emits mysterious waves of life energy, which exert a benefic life-sustaining, preservative influence over all objects, sentient and insentient.

In shape, Agnihotra pot is like an inverted step pyramid. This shape is considered to be much more powerful than the shape of the Egyptian pyramids themselves. The subtle bio-cosmic energy waves emanating from Agnihotra pot charge the whole atmosphere with healthful influences, banishing deleterious elements. The pot, in some mysterious way also attracts cosmic rays to itself. The miraculous preservative effect of the pyramid shape is a proven fact, though modern science has not been able to unravel the mystery behind the phenomenon.

As Agnihotra fire is lighted in such a pot and cow-ghee- and-rice oblations offered into the fire with chanting of the prescribed mantras, the whole atmosphere around the lace of the performance gets purified with the gases, which rise froth from the pyramid shaped pot. Harful bacteria and other pollutants are neutralised immediately and the atmosphere remains clean and healthful for twelve hours at least.

Madhavashram is providing the copper and the clay Agnihotra pots at cost price.
