	Yajna, the Vedic sacrifice (offering)
		As the scriptures suggest, the ways of performing yajna was different according to the aim in sight by the sacrificer, the one beneficiary of the rite.
		The transition of the outer yajna towards the inner yajna is suggestively described in Garbha Upanishad one of the minor Upanishads.
		As for the importance of yajna at the level of humanity, it is tenable to say that by the practice of yoga in many parts of the world, yajna has acquired a worldwide recognition as a valuable spiritual inheritance for mankind.

	BISWA KALYAN FOUNDATION
		The Yajnas are rituals that can enhance favorable influences, neutralize or diminish unfavorable influences coming in our life.
		These yajnas requires the performance of 18, 28 over 3 days or 108 vedic rituals over 7 days, depending on the yajña being performed.
		It is important that you understand that whatever will be your experience during the yajna, there is no direct connection between what you will experience during that week and the quality of the results that you will get from the yajna.

	The Mind of Mahatma Gandhi
		Yajna having come to us with our birth, we are debtors all our lives, and thus for ever bound to serve the universe.
		Yajna is duty to be performed, or service to be rendered, all the twenty-four hours of the day....To serve without desire is to favour not others, but ourselves, even as in discharging a debt we serve only ourselves, lighten our burden and fulfill our duty.
		Yajna is not yajna if one feels is to be burdensome or annoying.

	From Yeravda Mandir : Yajna or Sacrifice
		Yajna means an act directed to the welfare of others, done without desiring any return for it, whether of a temporal or spiritual nature.
		Therefore, and also from the standpoint of ahimsa, it is not a yajna to sacrifice lower animals even with a view to the service of humanity.
		It will not therefore, be a yajna, much less a mahayajna, to wish or to do ill to any one else, even in order to serve a so-called higher interest.

		Agni (the terrestrial manifestation of Brahman) in the male aspect is known as Shiva (the auspicious, signifying perhaps the beneficial side of Agni) and as female Shakti.

		It is a simulation of the Vedic yajna even without lighting a fire; and it involves basically the worship of a ling (Shiv-ling) representing the deity Agni (as related to a yajna).

		The vasanas that are able to be expressed in a particular birth are associated with the prarabdha-kama to be worked out in that life, and are held to be responsible for determining the patterns of thinking, dreaming, desire, attachment, aversion and behaviour that characterise a single lifetime.
		This ideal does not require the renunciation of worldly activity, as it is pointed out that as long as we live we cannot avoid activity, which as karma in the broadest sense of the term leads to the creation of new samskaras.
		Gandhi was significantly influenced by his reading of the Bhagavad-Gita, and interpreted his work for the welfare of others as a form of yajna or sacrifice in the sense of acting without the desire for receiving anything in return, whether temporal or spiritual.
