Swami Dayanand Saraswati was one of India's greatest social reformers during the nineteenth century. His aim was to get rid of the stranglehold that the braahmans (the upper castes) had on various religious practices. Swami Dayanand was also against the prevalent custom of not allowing women to chant the Vedic mantras. Therefore, he laid down the guidelines of doing a havan or yagya where, everyone, including women, could participate by reciting Vedic mantras and doing the homam (the offering in the sacred fire). He wanted to break the existing social order with regards to the performance of religious rites and empowering all sections of society, irrespective of caste or sex. Swami Dayanand expounded his ideas in a treatise called "Satyarth Prakash" (Light of Truth), in which he laid down the ten principles of righteous living.
This album contains the shlokas that Swami Dayanand compiled from the Vedas, particularly, the Saamveda, Rigveda and Yajurveda. The contents include the method for making the'havan kund', the method for making the samagri (offering) along with step-by-step instructions on how to conduct the havan. Immense effort has gone into researching the original texts that were used by the Swami and we have relied on ,'Satyarth Prakash', 'Arya Parva Paddhati', 'Panch Yagya Prakash' and 'Dainik Yagya Paddhati'. Our hope is that those who do not have access to Vedic pundits can do the havan by using this album.
Chanting of vedic mantras for the followers of arya samaj.
