Manusa Yadnya ceremonies

The manusa yadnya ceremonies are intended to cleanse the inner world of the individual human being from negativity (sins and mistakes), and as a result to improve the quality of life.

The spiritual effects of these cleansing ceremonies are considered to be very important for the individual human being as it puts him in the position to receive inspiration c.q. channeled information from high, positive entities of the cosmos (like spirit guides or other manifestations of God) - indications and advice to help him not to get deluded by the ego and to live an unselfish life based on dharma, so his soul finally will become free of reincarnation and reach moksha, unison with God.
