On Master Charles’ Birthday Stillpointe Retreat, a Vedic / Tantric ritual known as a yagna was performed over a period of seven days by Brahmin priests at the Sanctuary’s newly constructed yagna site. At the center of the yagna is a fire that is kept burning 24 / 7 in a specially designed pit dug deep into the earth. Around and into the fire, the priests chant thousands of Divine Feminine mantras and invocations along with the offering of many symbolic ritual items. At the completion, after the fire has consumed all offerings, the ash that remains is permanently infused with empowering energy of the yagna and is considered sacred. Traditionally, sacred yagna ash is kept in one’s environment to contribute to its holistic vibration. A small quantity may also be applied to the heart, third eye or crown before sitting to meditate.
