====================================================================== Pranams from Om Shanti Dhama. We recall our discussion with your goodself, wherein we had mentioned about *Somayaga-2007*, project plan. This is one of the endangered ancient Vidya (knowledge) and by conducting yagas periodically, we can preserve this knowledge for the posterity. You had considered our request and had agreed to support the project financially. By the grace of God we are conducting APTHORYAMA SOMA YAGAM at Bangalore from 17th April to 26th April 2007. *Sri Sri Vishweshwara Thirtha Swamiji* of *Pejawara Mutt* has agreed to provide required space for Yaga at *Vidyapeetha,, Kathriguppa main road, **Bangalor*e. The *Rithwiks* are from *Gokarna.* The *Yajamana* and *Yajamana patni* have to be Agnihotris and for this Yaga the Agnihotris are from a remote village in Goa. *Agnihotri* is a person who worships *Tretagni* daily and performs the morning and evening * agnihotram.* The *Yajnavedi* is a 'GARUDA CHAYANA', eagle shaped fire altar, with 1200 special bricks. This ten day Yaga will be a very rare ritual performed in Bangalore after 5 decades. We are expecting many Vedic scholars to participate in this yaga. The salient features of the Yaga are as follows: 1. Participation by eminent scientists of different scientific disciplines will *scientifically study* the impact of the yaga on humans, animals, plants and the environment. 2. Another item that attracts people is a ten day *Vedic Seminar *in which prominent Vedic scholars, scientists and eminent thinkers participate. The Vedic seminar will begin with a benedictory address by renowned Pontiffs of various institutions. Many Shrouthi (Shroutha pandit specialized in performing Yaga) who are the custodians of this knowledge will be *honoured*. The eye-catching moment of the yaga will be the participation of Prof. Frits Staal of Berkeley University; his magnum opus AGNI continues to be one of the most reliable reference works for researchers in the field of Vedas. 3. *Chaturveda Samhita Homa *will also be performed simultaneously i.ealong with Somayaga. 4. *Souvenir* containing articles on yaga and its allied topics written by eminent scholars will be released on this special occasion. 5. *Vedic exhibition* and bookstalls displaying Vedic literature, are the other features of the Yaga. 6. Every one can watch the nonstop performance of the Yaga for 24 hours during the last three days. All are welcome to participate in this* round the clock ritual*. The reception committee is headed by Justice M.N.Venkatachaliah, Former Chief Justice of Supreme Court of India and the committee consists of illustrious figures representing various walks of life. The website www.somayaga.org furnish more details of Yagam. The Vedic Yaga are grand events and require great deal of man power and resources. The estimated cost for Apthoryama yaga is Rs. 35 Lakhs. With this background we appeal for your support. The donation cheque may be drawn in favour of Shroutha Prathistana payable at Bangalore. We cordially invite you and your family to participate in the Yaga. We look forward to your participation. *May Yajneshwara bless one and all. * Thanking You. Yours sincerely, SATHYAVRATHA Convenor.
