Do's and Don'ts during Yagyas
Veda does Yagyas to help you, not to bother you. So you can live your life in your way while your your Yagya is being done. You don't need to bother about your participation as Yagyas are anyway done in your name and the result goes anyway to you. All what we want that in this period you remain honest, descent and clean. This is very important because you would contradict your Yagya by your wrong deeds. Here we line-up some of the rules of Yagyas you may voluntarily want to live-up however in your Yagya, a Pandit always represents you and follows all the rules that you would need to. So try your best but your following will not anyway add more than 1% of result.
Mantra Chant, Puja or Meditation
If you do, it is good, if you don't do, it is not bad. So do if you can and don't bother if you can't. Yagyas are, like medicines, a universal remedy and Veda does Yagya for people of every religion and believes, we don't want you to become a Hindu because of Yagya. So just live your life your way, pray your God and put your trust in Yagya. That will be sufficient.
Physical Participation
However your physical participation in Yagya doesn't affect the results, but in that case we have more desires and that must be followed. For example, you can't walk-in to Yagya Center eating chicken-burger and drinking red-wine. in This case you need to visit after proper bath, non-eaten or fruit-eaten, without sex and without any leather stuffs. Also after completion of Yagya you can't eat non-veg for coming 1 day.
Eating
Obviously killing and eating animals or birds are prohibited but we have tolerance for other groups of people too. So we not stop you eating non-veg if it is your daily food. However not-eating it is really obliging nature and pleasing us. So there is nothing obligatory but don't start eating it during Yagya if it is not your regular food. Do not it with other people in same plate because your will share their love but their bad deeds too. Other people are anyone who is not your direct relative like parents, partner, siblings and children.
Sleeping
Do not sleep in day hours during Yagya unless it is a requirement of your life-work. We count day from sun-shine to sun-set. Sleeping much will reduce your absorbing power of Yagya. but it doesn't mean you don't sleep at all. You must sleep at least 6 hours daily. During this period you may feel little tired. this is because of the extra energy of Yagya that you receiving. In that case sleeping little more will help.
Sex
Don't get mis-conception that sex is bad. It is as necessary as food. So do it if you are regular but don't do it is you are not regular. Anyway don't do un-usual / un-ethical sex as this may result much harm during Yagya. Remember, flirting is also a kind of sex.
Blessing & Cursing
Don't curse anyone, it may become true. And if you do it just to bother enemy, it won't work. Blessing someone is good but it is exactly like you are sharing your money with him.
Risky acts
During Yagya you may feel more energy and that may encourage you doing adventure, for example race-driving. Don't do this. This may be dangerous.
