Beneficial Effects of Agnihotra on Brain Waves

Beneficial Effects of Agnihotra on Brain Waves

Homa-Hof Heiligenberg, Germany

Agnihotra has a significant effect on brain waves; it relaxes and can generate such peaceful states of consciousness that are otherwise detectable in deep meditation only!

Brain wave research 1

This was also the conclusion of scientists in India in 1989, who made brainwave measurements (EEG) with several persons during Agnihotra1.

In 2015, further tests were made at the Institut für Kommunikation und Gehirnforschung (Institute for Communication and Brain Research) in Stuttgart, Germany, this time with the latest technology. The physicist and brain researcher Günter Haffelder developed a new method of EEG spectral analysis, which allows detection even of signals of the limbic system (processing of emotions).

With four persons, the necessary electrodes for the EEG (electroencephalogram) were fixed in time before sunset. Three of them have performed Agnihotra for many years; the fourth person did not know Agnihotra. Preparing the Agnihotra provided different results according to the emotional state of mind of the subjects. After the singing of the mantra something very amazing showed:
With two people, both hemispheres of the brain were working in sync. With the other two people, a significant change in the delta area became visible, which means switching to an increased perception processing.

Despite the slight activity, the four persons all entered a state of relaxation during the Agnihotra! All four subjects showed this rapid and significant change of brain waves after singing the last sound of the mantra.

The mantra seems to act as a trigger and puts everyone involved in a higher spiritual level of consciousness, which opens other areas of perception.

Striking is the synchronicity of all those involved. This also applies to the person for whom Agnihotra was unknown and who was only sitting there.

Mr. Haffelder, who, over decades, has performed countless EEG measurements during long-distance and spiritual healing, meditation techniques and extrasensory perception techniques from many cultures, speaks of an “unexpected and remarkable result“2.

Survey On Agnihotra Practitioners

Agnihotra — Your Experiences Matter

Dear Agnihotri,

A questionnaire has been created that is being conducted internationally to gather information regarding the benefits that Agnihotra has brought to your life. This can be an anonymous questionnaire that will be used for important research studies and will be of great help. It only takes about 10 minutes to complete and we would greatly appreciate your participation.

Thank you very much, and happy fires!
