Invoking the Sudarshan Chakra for Protection and Victory

Sudarshan Yagna owes its origin to the Sudarshan Chakra, which is the most psychic weapon of Lord Vishnu (Preserver and Sustainer of the Universe). The word ‘Sudarshan’ is an amalgamation of two words – ‘Su’ (which means auspicious) and ‘Darshan’ (which means vision). So, ‘Sudarshan’ means auspicious vision.

The Sudarshan Chakra is manifested as an energetic wheel which moves at the will of God. It is a weapon that resembles a spinning disc with 108 sacred edges, owned by Lord Mahavishnu. It has also been described as ‘kaal chakra’ (the disc of time), which constitutes twelve rays and six centres. The twelve rays of this chakra represent the twelve months and the six centers represent the six seasons.

A few scriptures claim that Lord Vishwakarma (Divine Architect of the Universe) created this chakra from sun dust. This chakra stays either on Lord Krishna’s little finger or on Lord Vishnu’s index finger.

Why is the Sudarshan Yagna performed?

This is a fire ritual to seek the blessings of Lord Vishnu and evoke the protective aspect of the Sudarshan Chakra, as well as to evoke the victory aspect of this chakra over everything negative.

The Sudarshan Chakra is the most potent tool in the cosmos which can clear out everything that comes in the way of happiness, victory and achievement. When it is being invoked by the devotees, it is believed that it fulfils the wishes of the devotees.

Science behind Sudarshan Yagna

• Use of fire: Agni (Fire) is the first natural force which was created by the Creator; and it happens to be the most important discovery by man.
• Mantra (science of sound): The human audible range is 20 hertz - 20,000hertz. A harmonic scalpel, which doctors use for surgeries, vibrates at more than 50,000 hertz and can cut and repair the blood vessel. So, sound has immense impact on human beings. Ultra-sound can capture the body’s image; likewise, mantra (incantation) has its own effect and vibration on human beings. It has a constructive effect on the mind and thoughts.
• Inverted Pyramid shaped Agni Kund: For the yagna, an Inverted Pyramid shaped Agni Kund or Havan Kund is mostly used as it facilitates controlled generation and multi-directional dissipation of energy. The priest puts herbs along with ghee in the fire and chants respective mantras. When ghee is added to the fire, it produces energy. It is like using fuel in a vehicle to run it.

Fire + Fuel = Physical Energy
Fire + Mantra = Divine Energy
(It influences your subtle consciousness)

• Use of herbs: Selected wood like mango wood, sandalwood or banyan tree wood is used for the fire to ensure less carbon dioxide. To counter the pollution in the environment, in Yagna, sandalwood paste, saffron, musk, camphor, incense, ghee, brahmi, giloyi, mulethi, saunth and other herbs are used, which purifies the environment. Phytochemicals are released that not only makes the environment aromatic but also destroys bacteria and viruses in the air. Thus, yagna is herbal fumigation. It is the most important ritual through which science and spiritualism are brought together.

Yagna, therefore, is a preparation of herbs that is offered to the holy fire, inflamed by specific wood, along with the chant of distinct mantras (Vedic Hymns). This medicinal smoke significantly removes human pathogenic microbes, helps in purifying the air and have anti-epileptic, anti-pyretic, anti-fungal, and antibacterial effects, amongst numerous other benefits.

The regular chanting of mantras helps in purifying the mind. Improvement has been noticed with respect to digestion, hypertension, mental agitation, and sleep after the chanting of mantras.
