Diva - Hawan Samagri
The havan, or the sacred fire, is symbolic of Agni - the Fire God, who represents Shakti (the universal power). Vedic texts pronounce fire as 'the mouth of all pujas'. It is through fire that our prayers are said to reach God. The Havan Samagri is very sacred with each item being of greater significance.
Ingredients: Black til, Jo, 32 types of dhoop, Bhimseni kapoor, rose petals, sandalwood powder, lobaan, ghee, Agarbatti, chandan, and tumeric.
Use: The offerings are made to the fire by chanting shlokas which invariably end with a 'swahaa'. 'Swa' - means self and 'ha' means ahamkaar or ego. Thus by chanting 'swahaa' we are offering our ego to be destroyed by the Fire God.
