New Delhi : ‘Yagya’ helps protect the environment and increases the possibility of rains, according to BJP member Virendra Singh.
Making these remarks in the Lok Sabha, he argued that ‘Yagya’ has both spiritual as well as scientific basis.
Singh, while speaking on resumed discussion on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), recalled that he had made the suggestion for performing yagyas during the drought season.
“I requested you to perform Yagya. It will bring rains and protect the environment,” said the member from Badhoi in Uttar Pradesh.
He said it has been “scientifically-established” that burning of ghee produces 300 per cent oxygen.
It is a well known fact that two molecules of hydrogen in combination with one molecule of oxygen creates water, he said.
As part of the Yagya, only agriculture produce are offered to fire, he said adding it increases the possibility of rain.
He further said development should be sustainable and not at the cost of excessive exploitation of the nature.
“Development should be India-centric and must focus on 6.5 lakh villages,” Singh said, adding the nation needs to formulate its own definition of development and not ape what is followed by the western nation.
