Air pollution, in the eyes of our ancients went beyond visible dust & fumes to the invisible sub atomic particles, microbes & bad vibes too.
The way to purify air, was to battle bad air with good air. For, it is only air that can reach as high as air & undo the damage in bad air

Performing #Homa createed good smoke which carried both neutralizing / purifying molecules as well as sound vibrations / electromagnetic waves that could then pervade through the air & cleanse it of both particulate matter & harmful radiation energies.
The very word Homa comes from the root syllables
• Hu, meaning to invoke, to worship and
• M, Ma, which connotes happiness, welfare.
Homa are thus acts of invoking benefits for all using good smoke, beneficial particles and propitious chants from the Veda.

Ahuti from this Hu stands for the offering in a worship, invocation.
Hotr, from this Hu, Homa, is one who knows the way, technique of worshipping or invoking for attaining benefit. It is from this we get words such as Agnihotri who worships, invokes fire for benefits.

One of the important tasks of those engaged with Veda as a priest / Hotr, was to perform Homa regularly, for the benefit of mankind and environment. Their learning of the Veda Mantra was for the sole purpose of chanting and performing these Homa and hence the name Hotr too.
Homa were thus performed regularly and continuously with the objective to keep cleansing the environment of pollution accumulating from dust, odour, germs, radiation and even bad intentions.
Homa were also performed to cleanse body, mind and energies to increase life, vegetation, crops, rains, goodness etc.
The smoke emanating from a Homa, though seen by many today as a pollutant, actually was our ancients’ counter to various kinds of pollution.

The science and technology of Homa is something worth looking into and adopting as a sign of homage to our ancients as well as to future generations to come.
