Yagnya
Fire Ritual
Yajnya: Agnihotra, the Smallest Form of Yajnya. Yajnya is a process based on biorhythms of which man is a prisoner. Various rhythms of nature corresponding to the rotation of the Earth and other cosmic objects affect
the human body and mind
Daan
Donation
Daan: Sharing your assets in a spirit of humility.Daan is not merely giving cash or material possessions. It involves several disciplines. If the these are not observed, Daan becomes a mere donation. We practice Daan to reduce our attachment to worldly
possessions.
Tapa
Meditation
Tapa sensitizes the body, makes the flow of PRANA harmonious and the will power is strengthened. The resistance that the body and mind offer in the pursuit of the Path of the Light is broken and the bodily vehicle becomes a more sensitive instrument of consciousness.
Karma
Action
The law of Karma: “reap as you sow". It states that “you are the planter of the seed and the reaper of the deed." Your circumstances, pleasant or unpleasant, are the result of your past actions. Your efforts in the present moment determine what you will be in the future.
Swadhyay
Self Study
It is the Light that shines within you and it is not dependent on anything outside. Search for this Light is the Divinity. What is Karma (good action)? What is Akarma (bad action)? What is Vikarma (the specific allotted task of a person)? To know this is Swadhyaya.

10 Commandments Satsang Series
VEDA-TATVA-DASHAKA
The 10 basic principles of the Vedas
These are the Vedic principles known as the 10 Commandments of Shree ParamSadguru Gajanan Maharaj of Akkalkot.
These 10 Commandments were prescribed to prepare oneself to follow the Five-Fold Path to march forward in the path of light. The first nine commandments are the disciplines to practice in daily life. The last commandment - Ishwar Pranidhan is the most important; It means “na mama”, that is “not mine”. Na mama is the ultimate aim. This is Agnihotra. Param Sadguru says: “Whoever obeys these Ten Commandments of the Holy Vedas will, without doubt, be liberated. However, these Ten Commandments are to be followed virtually by body, speech and mind.”
