	*Sacred Fire Ceremony* *Over a period of 19 days 1500 Brahmin Priests will Chant Ancient Prayers in Dedication for a shift to higher spiritual consciousness in humanity and for our world.*	A specially performed Yagya not only produces extremely auspicious results and spiritual benefits but also makes us the medium of world peace and well being by enhancing humane feelings and spiritual wisdom in all of us. The chanting of mantras (prescribed prayers) while performing the yagya is expected to ensure fulfillment of specific intentions. The significance of Yagya has been recognized since ancient times. These practices have continued over time only because they were proven to be authentic and effective. Yagya is a very specific and scientific process. Everyone is welcome to participate regardless of religion, tradition, or belief. This prayer is for every living being to return to their heart and therefore brilliant intelligence. Our request is that this Fire Ceremony brings the blessings of the Great Universal Mother. May the blessings requested raise the consciousness of humanity so that our earth and the life that she supports will not end through human ignorance and destruction. May the Blessings requested bring humanity to our heart of hearts so that we may live in consideration of all of life and future lives to come. So that we will be an enlightened humanity. May the blessings requested raise our consciousness to greater awareness of our innate spiritual wisdom and essential nature. Though this Sacred Fire Ceremony is offered by the Sacha Ashram in India and by Vedic Brahmins, this prayer is for all and has no religious or traditional bias or requirement for you to participate. Sacha means the undeniable ‘Truth’ in all. The Sacha Linage is an ancient lineage that lives for the enlightenment of all beings.
