What is the secret of the word Swaha in Havan? Know the deep religious belief behind it.
Have you ever wondered why ‘Swaha’ is chanted during Havan? On hearing this word, one feels a mysterious and divine energy, but what is the real reason behind it? Why are these words spoken after offering sacrifice in Havan? Is this just a tradition or is there some deep religious belief hidden behind it?
The word ‘Swaha’ comes from Sanskrit, and means ‘surrender’ or ‘acceptance’. During Havan, when any offering is made, ‘Swaha’ is chanted so that the offering reaches the deity or Brahma and is accepted by reaching God completely. It is seen in this way that the person offering sacrifice expresses his feelings towards God through his dedication and devotion.
According to religious belief, when ‘Swaha’ is uttered, it indicates accepting the offering as sacred and divine. Through this, a person conveys his wishes, resolutions and prayers to God, and it is believed that this word infuses purity and positive energy in the environment.
Thus, ‘Swaha’ is not just a tradition but has a deep religious and spiritual belief behind it, which strengthens the connection and trust between humanity and the deity through Havan.
