WHAT IS BUSINESS?
Business is yagna, the ritual described in the Rig Veda. The yajaman or one who performs sacrifices, initiates this ritual, makes offerings into agni, fire burning in the altar, exclaiming, ‘Svaha!’ (‘this of me I offer’) hoping to please his chosen devata or deity who will grant him his desires, exclaiming, ‘Tathastu!’ (‘so it shall be’). A yagna is declared a success only if it ushers in wealth and prosperity. Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth and auspiciousness. Her image adorns not only Hindu homes, but also Jain temples and Buddhist stupas, indicating her popularity even among those who shun ritual.
