 22nd March 2024

• 
  Yajur Veda (VI.ii.9.2) यज्ञो वै विष्णुः - sacrifice is equivalent to the all-pervading presence of Lord Vishnu.
• Many ancient civilizations believed that offerings to gods could bring prosperity to their lands. The Vedas stated that sacrifices bring seasonal downpours that help to fertilize the land.
• In turn, this would nourish all living beings by providing an abundance of food. Thus, the act of sacrifice was seen as a way to promote the welfare and prosperity of everyone.
• In today's world, we can apply this concept by using profits to help those in need of proper education and livelihood. This will nourish the community and produce more productive citizens who can work toward the common good.
