The Science of Śrauta-yaj?as

There are many types of yaj?as. Srauta yaj?a, G?hya yaj?a, Pa?chamahaya?ja, etc. etc. Here the term Srauta yaj?a is of great interest for us. The concept of Srauta 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 Srauta 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 Srauta-yaj?as like Agnisomiya Pasuyaga, Somayaga, Puru?amedha, Asvamedha, Gomedha, Avimedha, and Ajamedha.
