In Vedic Ci vilizations, Yagyas were part of the regular routine of individual and public life. They are mentioned often in the Vedic Texts, which describe their beneficial effects. In bringing to light the Vedic Knowledge, Maharishi has fully enlivened the application and correct performance of this essential technology. In our own lives we often find ourselves confronted by unforeseen and unwanted trends and events. Maharishi Yagyas are designed to eliminate dangers and tendencies before they arise, as well as to maximize positive influences for the fulfilment of specific goals and desires in life.
Every wave produces effects in every part of the pond, resulting in some influence or other.
Similarly, the wave of individual life through its activity produces an influence in all fields of the cosmos. As we influence every part of the cosmos with every action, every action creates an influence that returns to us, just as the waves, upon reaching the shore, inevitably turn back and return to their place of origin. Maharishi Jyotish is the science and technology that is able to calculate and then predict the type of influence that has been created by our past actions, and which will return to us at a particular time and place. If the influence is not favuorable, then the Jyotishi will prescribe Maharishi Yagyas to counteract the unfavourable influence of the previous actions. If the influence is favourable, then the Yagya recommendations will be to enhance our good fortune.
