Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The Vedangas, or auxiliary sciences attached to the Vedic literature, define Yajna as follows, Definition of a Vedic sacrifice. Yajña, sacrifice, is an act by which we surrender something for the sake of the gods. Such an act must rest on a sacred authority (āgama), and serve for man's salvation (śreyortha).
Yajna, sacrifice, is an act through which, for the sake of gods, we give all. This action must rest on a holy authority (agama) and serve the redemption of man (sreyortha). The meaning of the gift is less important
EXPLANATION:
In the Hindu language, Yajna literally means 'sacrifice', 'dedication', 'worship', 'offering and refers to every ritual' performed before sacred fire, often with mantras. Yajna was a Vedic tradition representing both the 'Brahmanas and Yajurveda' in the 'layer of Vedic literature'. Tradition has evolved from offering sacrifices and libations in the 'presence of sacred fire' (Agni) into sacred 'fires and symbolic offerings'.
In comparison to 'Jnana-kanda' (knowledge) portion of 'Vedic Upanishads', 'Yajna Ritual' related texts have been called 'the Karma-kanda' (ritual works) 'section of the Vedic literature'. 'Mimansa School of Hindu Philosophy' focused on the proper completion of 'Yajna-like rituals'. In a 'Hindu ritual' such as weddings Yajna continued to 'play a central role'. 'Modern large Hindu temples', 'Hindu sects' and 'monastic initiations' may also be rites of 'Vedic Yajna' or based on 'agamic rituals'.
