YagyasYagyas (also spelled "yagnas") are ancient Vedic performances, performed in precise manner and time by trained pundits. Each yagya has a specific intended result. Yagyas performed by large groups of pundits are reported to have a much greater effect than those by smaller groups or individuals. Yagyas involve elements including pictures of dieties, tools of sacrificial offering, offerings (ghee, flowers, incense, fruits) and chanting. Certain yagyas ("homas") involve a fire ceremony and the burning of offerings. Everything in a yagya is symbolic. Even the dieties are forces of nature, which have been documented by physicist John Hagelin and associates as corresponding precisely to the fundamental laws of quantum physics. In general yagyas are intended to bring order from disorder. One of the world's leading authorities on yagyas is Dr. Gyanendra Mahapatra. Dr. Mahapatra, also known as "Maha", originally trained as an oncologist. He became personal physician and secretary to the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, whom he assisted for 27 years. During this time, he developed a close friendship with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who was assisting the Maharishi at the same time. Dr Mahapatra is a trained teacher of T.M and all the related advanced procedures such as the TM Sidhi program At the behest of the Maharishi, Mahapatra organized and managed a group of 8,600 pundits in one location in India near Delhi. This group was constituted in 1986 and practiced continuously until 1992. The Pundits practiced TM and Sidhis and performed the yagyas for world peace on a very regular basis. Analysts note that some of the most positive changes in recent history happened during this period, including the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The cold war ended. While attributing such events to the practices of pundits thousands of miles away does not fit any conventional scientific model of reality, peer-reviewed research has been published in numerous journals such as the Journal of Social Policy documenting such effects. (See also "Maharishi Effect" and "Superradiance Effect"). Multiple other large groups have been organized on a temporary and experimental basis, and have served as sources of data for scientific studies. Prior to organizing groups of yagya pundits in Israel, Washington DC and other "focal points of stress", Mahapatra and his colleagues made specific documented predictions that social trends in those areas would sharply and dramatically improve during the period of the experiment, and revert to baseline levels thereafter. In fact, this is precisely what happened in dozens of experiments tracking multiple variables. Stock markets, incidence of crime, hospital admissions, and other statistics seemingly without correlation were measured and successfully predicted. However, the lack of an apparent means of cause-and-effect led to some of the harshest criticisms ever published in scientific journals. It was fiercely debated in the Journal of Social Policy. Recent developments in cutting-edge science, as documented in the work of Professor William Tiller (Head, Materials Science, Stanford University), the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research project (PEARS, http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/), and others suggest possible mechanisms by which groups of individuals acting with common focus may have significant effects at a distance.
