Abstract–Objective: Positive influence of Yajna (fire ceremony) on human physiological, psychological and spiritual well-being and environment is mentioned in ancient Indian literature. The purpose of this study is to explore how Bhaishajya Maha Yajna influences the human energy field measured with Electro Photonic Imaging (EPI) technique to follow the response at individual level and also to observe the pollution level in the environment before and after.

Methods: Electro Photonic Imaging method was used to assess the subjects.

The subjects were from Kerala practicing a special type of Yoga lead by an expert, some of whom were actively involved and others just observing Yajna. Bhaishajya Maha Yajna was performed in outskirts of Bangalore, continuously for 81 hours during two consecutive years 2013 and 2014. The participants were assessed three times; at fixed intervals of 27 hours from the base reading. After getting informed consent from the participants, 29 and 21 were the sample size respectively in the two years.

EPI Measurements were made on all ten fingertips of subjects, the patterns of light emitted from the subjects’ fingertips were digitally recorded and computer analyzed. Parameters including Area, Average Intensity and Entropy were calculated and statistically compared between three measurements. SPSS version 18.0 was used for the analysis.

Pollution level was measured using Enviro-Tech, a standard environmental test equipment to observe the level of SO2, NO2 and RSPM. Results: Two times observations showed statistically significant positive changes in both years. Among three parameters Entropy was maintained constantly at a fixed level, while others (Area and Average Intensity) showed statistically significant changes in both years. In general, the changes between first and second measurements showed greater alterations than between second and third reading in EPI parameters. Forty three percent of reduction in Sulphur Dioxide was observed in the environment.

Conclusions: Attending this Yajna influenced EPI parameters of finger emission patterssignificantly and thus supported the objective of the study. EPI seems to be an appropriate tool to measure subtle energy filed. Yajna can be one of the practices to invoke the potentials of human internal energy. The performance of Yajna helps in cleansing the environment of certain pollutants.
