🪔 Havan – Sacred Fire Ritual at SWAN

About Havan

Havan is an age-old sacred ritual. Fire, or Agni, symbolises the presence of the divine and acts as a medium for transformation — both material and spiritual.

At SWAN, Havan is a meditative and experiential practice. Through mantra, offering and awareness, one learns to let go.

Everything that no longer serves you can be offered into the fire — a process of inner purification and clarity. The lit fire symbolises the presence of the divine, and so this sacred fire is a medium for the attainment of various wishes and boons in the materialistic as well as the spiritual world. We do havan to dispel the negative energies from our mind and to destroy negative life patterns; everything you want to let go of, offer it to the fire.

🕉 Weekly Havan and Kirtan

Time: 19:00 – 20:00 Hrs

Every Saturday and Sunday evening, we gather for Havan along with Kirtan.

Kirtan is spiritual singing — simple chants sung together, creating a sense of connection and preparing the mind for meditation.

• Saturday: Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (healing & rejuvenation)
• Sunday: Gayatri Mantra (clarity & guidance)

Guests are welcome to join, observe, or simply sit in the presence of the fire.

Closing Note

At SWAN, these practices are not performances, but part of a living yogic tradition — where mantra, fire and awareness come together naturally.
