Vedic Yajnas also called Shrauta Yajnas are quite different from the regular homas and havans you might have seen.

Watch below Darshapurnamaseshti, the fortnightly Yajnas performed in connection with Amavasya and Purnima.

Vedadhara feels blessed for being given the opportunity to sponsor these Yajnas every month at Nidagod, Karnataka.

Why Kubera was cursed by sage Agastya?

Kubera was going to Kushavati through the sky with his attendant, Maniman, for a chanting of mantras organized by the Devas. On the way, Maniman spat on Agastya’s head while he was meditating by the Kalindi River. Angry, Agastya cursed them. He said that Maniman and Kubera’s army would be killed by a man. Kubera would grieve over their deaths but would be freed from the curse after seeing the man who killed them. Later, Bhimasena went to Mount Gandhamadana to find the Saugandhika flower. There, he killed Maniman and the soldiers. After this, Bhima met Kubera, and Kubera was freed from the curse.

The Role of Effort and Divine Blessings

Hard work, perseverance, knowledge, skill, and experience are all important, but only as far as for performing actions effectively. However, the outcome is beyond your control. Only God determines the results of all actions, and without His blessings, nothing auspicious can occur.
