The Agnihotra Pyramid has three steps. The word “pyr” means “fire”, and “mid” means middle. The word pyramid denotes the science of burning fire in the middle.

Cows Ghee or clarified butter is made from unsalted butter. This is the one ingredient found in all Homas (Yajnyas) small or large. Ghee is considered a carrier and is said to carry the effects of the Homa to the higher regions. Ghee is also often used in Ayurvedic medicinal formulas and it is said that ghee has the intelligence to carry the healing essence of the Ayurvedic medicine to the exact area or areas of the body that needs to be healed. It is also a scientific known fact that if cow’s ghee is burnt the weight of the residual ash remains the same. This defies laws and explanation and no other substance known to man exhibits this characteristic. Also, the older the ghee the more powerful the medicinal properties become.
