Namasthe swamiji, from veda pandithas I came to know that everyone must do 5 yajnas in life, brahma yajnam, deva yajnam, pitru yajnam, balivaishva yajnam and adhithi yajnam for prosperity in life, moksha and sanathana dharmas in life. What is your opinion about that Swamiji, please reply. Hari om

The pancha Mahayajnas denote the 5 duties a householder should perform daily in addition to his family bound duties.
1.Brahma yajnam: Daily study of the scriptures and duty to educate our children and society. 2. Deva Yajnam: Duty to protect Nature and its resources for the benefit of all. This includes protecting our forests, rivers, air from pollution and food from poison. 3. Pitru yajnam: Duty to protect our parents and older members of the society who cannot support themselves anymore. 4. Vaiswadeva yajnam: Sharing a part of what we have with the less fortunate/needy and hungry. This could be hungry animals/distressed people. 5. Adhiti Yajna: The ability to deal with unforeseen events with a balanced mimd. The word adhiti does not mean Guest alone. It stands for all events that come to us without thidhi. A householder should be prepared to take them with grace.
By performing these 5 yajnas in our daily life, we get rid of our selfishness, develop compassion and start realizing we have no independent existence, and are part of the Universal Soul. Hari Om.
