The Science of Srauta-yajñas

There are many types of yaj as. Śrauta yaj a, Gṛhya yaj a, Pa chamahāya ja, etc. etc. Here the term Śrauta yaj a is of great interest for us. The concept of Śrauta yaj a can be understood only in the context of Vedas and allied literature. The Vedas are the science of creation that takes place at three parallel levels, i.e. metaphysical, astrophysical and physical levels in the universe. The Śrauta yaj a denotes nothing but the process of this creation. Nothing can be noblest and most excellent work than this act of creation. In the present book, a scientific explanation has been given to the fire-altars and Śrauta-yaj as like Agnisomīya Paśuyāga, Somayāga, Puruṣamedha, Aśvamedha, Gomedha, Avimedha, and Ajāmedha.
