THE IMPORTANCE OF AGNI-YAGYA' :

The sages then asked Suta about the Agniyagya, Brahma yagya, and Guru Puja in order of 
importance. 
Suta said-"Performing 'havan' by offering matter and materials into the sacred fire, is called Agni yagya.
This ritual is especially meant for the brahmachari (celibates). Performing havana during the
evening time brings prosperity, while performance of havana during the morning times gives
long life. Making sacrifices to the deities during the daytime is called 'Deva Yagya'. A brahmin
should perform 'Brahma yagya with the help of the study of the Vedas."
"First of all lord Shiva adopted an auspicious day for himself and named it Sunday. After that he
named the Six remaining days of the week and attributed them to the following deities
respectively - Monday (Durga), Tuesday (Skanda), Wednesday (Vishnu), Thursday (Yama),
Friday (Brahma), and Saturday (Indra).
Worshipping the deities on their respective days give peace properity and all kinds of
accomplishments.
