Agni, represents the fire deity and is considered among the most important elements. It is especially important for purification and refinement of elements and is considered a conduit through which the cleansed offerings can reach the chosen deity. This is primarily the reason it is used in many Indian rituals.

Agni is also strongly associated with metabolism, where it converts nourishment into Prāṇa. In this way it also plays a vital role in producing Prāṇa for the body. So a healthy fire is essential for our health and vitality.

This mantra is the most fundamental mantra to honor Agni and is helpful to not only cleanse us of toxins in the body, but also improve our metabolism. Listen to it about 12 times, thrice a day, at sunrise and afternoon. Don’t listen to it after sunset or after dinner.
