Abstract
A performance of sacrifi cial rituals is harmonious to all living beings of the cosmos. Th ere is a negative impact on man, society and atmosphere
due to the ecological imbalance; global warming is creating a more heat and pressure on the earth. Somayaga is performed for rain formation
and to balance the six seasons. Th e ingredient and rituals of the yaga appear to be a promising, scientifi c, cost-eff ective, eco-friendly method
to counter the ever-increasing deadly pollution of the environment, and purify and enrich the environment. A review of various sections of
Vedic literature was performed with regard to Somayaga. Th e scientifi c interpretation and researches on the sacrifi cial rituals can build a more
faith and deeper understanding of such customs. Th e rituals of yaga have been observed in infl uencing the collective consciousness fi elds of
the people participating in the yaga as measured by REG. Hence, for the survival of the Vedic culture, welfare of the creation and mankind
Somayaga must be performed. Th e present paper is aimed to briefl y compile and bring out the studies, information, and researches on Soma
as a plant, drink and its use in the rituals of Somayaga.
