According to Shivapurana 2.2.26 and 2.2.27, 'Prapancha' and 'Yagna' denote 'Universe' and 'Worship' respectively. Its a ritual where Agni Dev, (the Fire God) acts as the intermediary between mortals and the immortals. Pancha Bhutas or Five Elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space frame both the individual human body as well as the greater cosmic body. These are interconnected with Pancha Tanmatras or Five Essences termed as Shabda (Sound), Sparsha (Touch), Roopa (Vision), Rasa (Taste) and Gandha (Smell). In our cultural and religious tradition, the natural sources such as rivers, mountains, trees and animals are worshipped perceiving the mystic dimensions. Hence the spiritual practice of preserving fresh water bodies as Kulam & Chiras and sturdy forest in the form of Naga Kavu & Nakshatra Vanam exist. Due to the cognizance of the Cosmic Consciousness, the construction of devalayas (temples) for universal power and the worship of animals along with the deities are performed. As the human race benefited the most from Prakriti, we should contribute to the ecological, genetic, social, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational and aesthetic aspects for Nature's sustainability and harmony, there by offering our gratitude.
