There are revelations given to our ancient sages after several years of prayers and austerities. The foremost among our ancient rituals is the ritual of Havan. Almost every ancient culture in this world has the fire as an integral part of worship. The sacred fire acts as a link between man's consciousness and the cosmic consciousness. The fire also has the ability to convert the physical components (offerings into the fire) into the psychic components as offering to the deities presiding over the Havans. When this is done a number of things can be attained.

A few things being:

1. Cleansing of the atmosphere
2. Cleansing of the physical and psychic bodies
3. Awakening of auspicious energies
4. Enabling mystical experiences
5. Invoking grace of God in our Lives

Havan is a sacred fire ritual that has been in prominence in Hinduism and prevalent in a few other ancient cultures and religious groups in one way or the other. IT IS A RITUAL OF SACRIFICE- Sacrifice made to Fire God, Agni (one of the five elements).

Havans are age-old sacred rituals to invoke and propitiate various energies (deities) using the sacred fire as a medium for the attainment of various wishes and boons in the materialistic and the spiritual worlds as well.

In olden days they led a full life but were always preparing for the next stage with full awareness; and when it was time to leave either their attachment or the home they were fully prepared, not only physically, but mentally and spiritually as well.

In most of the ancient ceremonies like Wedding, birth, death, festivals etc., the Havan Kund (the sacrificial fire) is lit. The fire is an element, they believed, symbolizing God, or the power of the universe.
