Faith is a powerful thing that can turn the spirit of a human being, it is either from lacking knowledge or getting enlightened. But it can also be a flaw that if exploited by anyone, it can make even the most decent individual commit bad things that an individual is not willing to do. Religion, for example, plays the most vital part on this subject as it has more people involved in separate beliefs resulting into many arguments.

Various culture is widespread throughout the world existing for many centuries, different tribes have its particular cultures, rituals, and beliefs that their people follow and believe is the right path. Culture rituals like yagya or yajna, is a ritual that Vedic tradition do to achieve positive effects and unwanted effects in different walks of life. Sacrifice, devote, worship, offer, the definition of the word yagya referred by the Hinduism as any offering activity performed with the presence of fire, along with mantras.

This exercise is believed to be an act of surrendering anything to the gods. It must be performed by a sacred authority that will serve to save the men. The offerings are not rigorous than a person would imagine it would be, oblations such as pulse, cake, mixed milk, juice of soma plant, an animal, and other.

The folklore conveyed that it can be used for good health, wealth, harmony, and evolution for an individual that seeks guidance. With the help of the internet today, there even offered services that conduct this ritual to people that are interested in trying. It is also believed to be able of predicting life events of a person and necessary yagyas are suggested to obtain a balanced life.

The culture is founded on basic principle, believing and entrusting your life in god, not that quite different compared to modern religion. Folks that follows the way of life are appreciative and lives in harmony with the environment and nature, which is why some mantras are conducted in some areas of the forest that these people live in. With this tradition stories about myths, legends, and gods are told as it is based on experience with one of their people.

Offerings tossed on the fire are oblations towards the god of fire and messenger of gods, Agni. The stories told that Agni take the offerings to gods, and in return, their prayers will be answered. It is an exchange spiritually between the supreme divine beings and human beings in a form of fire.

Others find this folklore, old and odd that this activity still exists today as a way of getting answered prayers. But, it is not that different when compared to the rituals of modern civilization. Some people might find it a bit different taking into consideration that it is their first time, but the goal of the process is the same.

Yet, there are people who do not believe in this kind of beliefs or in any particular religion. They believe the human evolution and the principle of cause and effect that will direct the path of an individual regarding of its actions. Difficult for them to rely on such principles that are uncertain and unproven by science.

Facts from science, and faith through religion, interesting that these two completely repel each other yet they are both essential. In order to have a better understanding of human being traditions are there to stand as the basis of life, and to be able to evolve, science is the way to develop mankind. An ancient tradition like yagya is important to the society to have a better understanding as long as it serves for good reasons.
