Havan

Havan: Indian Hindu Dictionary on Havan

Havan: a fire ritual accompanied by the chanting of the sacred Vedic mantras for a communal or common purpose. In the Vedic age, Havans were performed to give offerings of ghee, milk or grain to please the deities. With the later philosophical development of Hinduism, their purpose evolved into a method of practicing renunciation.

The definition and meaning of Havan is extracted from the home page of Journey through Timeless India, by Nancy Freeman Patchen

" I found India to be more than I ever imagined. On my initial trip, I had planned to stay for four months. I ended up staying for two years. During that journey, I spent six months in an ashram studying Vedanta (Hindu philosophy) and Sanskrit. However, the highlight of the trip was traveling from city to city with an enlightened Guru from whom I received many answers to my burning questions about life. As a result of that trip, I wrote the book, Journey of a Master, which is a comprehensive biography of Swami Chinmayananda. After several short trips, I returned again for a major stay of three years at the end of 1989. At that time, I served as a volunteer editor of Tattva Loka, the prestigious spiritual magazine, published by the Shringeri Matha in south India."
