message: I am really amazed at the amount of ignorance one can display at public places like this. 'Yog'. If you are studying sanskrit properly, you should realize that it is a a-karanta pum-linga shabda and not ga-karanta and NOT a halantya shabda ! Ofcourse you hardly seem to realize the difference between Hindi and Sanskrit! what a pity, further your ignorance soars high in labelling South Indians as wrong accented! Have you ever heard a South Indian speak authentic Sanskrit? Should you have, you would not have made this comment. But this is your ignorance you proudly show. For clarification Rama is Lord Rama. Ramaa is Lakshmi. And since the English alphabet is of a different type it is insufficient to accomodate all phoenemes of the Sanskrit language. So much for your indepth knowledge!

replies: text: While I agree with you, as this is the English Wikipedia, policy dictates to use the most often used spelled in English (in this case) academic writings. I have no idea what that is in this case, but it could very well be different from how someone else might spell it. 24.190.34.219 (talk) 07:29, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The term Vajapeya is redirected here, and there is no reference for that Yaga here. Vajapeya Yaga is one of the most toughest yagas in Vedas. And families who performed this yaga for the name "Vajapey/Bajapey" associated with them. 
Can we mention about this Yaga here or start a different article on it? I am not a good author on the subject, I need to check with my relatives on this which is not possible considering the different timezones we are in. hence the request. ....కిరణ్మయి (talk) 22:32, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested move 

message: Since Homa was a part of Yajna in Vedic times and now is a synonym for yajna, it should be merged. Present day usage for yajna is for a homa.--Redtigerxyz  Talk  17:47, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The difference between the two articles is the content on Buddhism in Homa. Given that Yajna is only a Hindu practice its impractical to merge the two.CorrectKnowledge (talk) 17:53, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  The Hindu part should be merged together. At least, all information related to the fire oblation should be transferred to Homa then. We can make this article only about the Vedic yajnas, whose subset is Homa and Homa will be the fire sacrifice, concurrent use of yajna. --Redtigerxyz  Talk  17:58, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't see much content on Homa in this page, other than the picture of Ganapati Homa and a couple of lines on Homa in Hindu marriage. I have no problem if those are merged into the Homa article. Do you think there is other content on this page that should be merged with Homa? CorrectKnowledge (talk) 18:03, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  "Types of Agni" is related more to Homa. --Redtigerxyz  Talk  18:06, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  "Types of Agni" can be exported to Homa page but it should not be removed from here because it refers to Griha sutras and Śrauta Sutras both of which are important to Vedic Yajnas. And on a side note, it has been incredibly hard to find references for this section. It might have to be substantially pruned anyway.CorrectKnowledge (talk) 18:11, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger 

message: This article says that Agnishtoma is extinct in India, except in the state of Kerala, among Nambudiris. Kindly note that till recently due to high media penitration and a large English speaking interpreters, Nambudiris were successful to highlight their activities in front of the media. But, it does not mean that everything is extinct outside Kerala simply because there exists a serious lack of media coverage and publicity in rural India, unlike Kerala, a 100% literate Indian state supported by a powerful local media network, which still does not focus much on what's going on outside Kerala in the sphere of Yajnas. 
However, for the first time, a more well researched report from a newspaper is given: This also does not mean that everything is extinct elsewhere, since many Indian villages and brahmin families, especially in North India, Gujarat and Maharashtra, and even in neighbouring Nepal, may be continueing all old yaga rituals in minimum...but lack of publicity about them may have created some misunderstanding in Kerala. It is also undetstood that such religious rituals are not meant for public display and organized as absolutely private religious rituals in many places. So..no extiction  outside Kerala, ok?

thread_title:  Agnishtoma extinct in India?????? Wrong information.

message: On March 3, 2006, The Hindu newspaper reports from Mysore, Karnataka, India..
 It is one of the biggest congregations of Agnihotris in recent times
18 Agnihotris will perform the Soma Yaga It is being held after a gap of over 50 years The yaga is being performed for the well-being of the universe
MYSORE: After the rule of the Wadiyar dynasty, it is one of the biggest congregations of Agnihotris here in recent times.
They are here to perform the `Agnishtoma Maha Yaga' for the well-being of the universe.
Led by Agnihotri V. Raghunatha Shastri of Srirangam in Tirichirappalli, 18 Agnihotris during the next five days will perform the Agnishtoma Maha Yaga or the Soma Yaga, which commenced in Mysore on Thursday after a gap of over 50 years.
An Agnihotri is a person who worships Tretagni daily and performs the morning and evening Agnihotram.
Agnihotri is also a qualified person to perform all yagnas for the welfare of gods, who are believed to bless and bestow happiness to universe in return.
According to S. Venkata Subramanya of Triveni Aasthika Sabha, which is organising the Soma Yagna, such a big congregation of Agnihotris is rare as their number in the country is very less.
He pointed out that today 44 Agnihotris live in Tamil Nadu, 36 in Andhra Pradesh, 18 in Maharashtra and 23 in various parts of the country.
Mr. Venkata Subramanya said an Agnihotri is expected to perform at least 21 yagas during his lifetime, which includes seven Paga Yaga, seven Havir Yaga and seven Soma Yaga.
It is learnt that the then ruler of Mysore Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar had performed the Soma Yaga at T. Narsipur when Mysore witnessed a big congregation of Agnihotris from across the country. Krishnaraja Wadiyar had also performed the Soma Yaga.
In Soma Yaga, Somalata juice is offered to Lord Indra with prayers for good rainfall, grain production, fame, good health etc. Soma Yaga is performed with the help of 16 ritviks.
In all, 24 procedures would be followed during the Soma Yaga. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sathyasaagar1 (talk • contribs) 11:24, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Agnihotris assemble in Mysore for `Agnishtoma Maha Yaga'

message: In the Etymology section, the original Sanskrit spelling shown is यज्ञ.
That is the same spelling shown in the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yajna_(avatar).
The second letter of this spelling does NOT appear in the IAST article on the Sanskrit alphabet at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Alphabet_of_Sanskrit_Transliteration.
So either the IAST article needs to show this second letter or else the spelling in the two Yajna articles needs to be revised.
Thanks.
