The purpose of yagya is to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In this age, as we have explained many times, the yagya of chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra is the only sacrifice that can satisfy the Supreme Lord. When the Lord is satisfied, one can fulfill any desire, material or spiritual...Everything is possible by performing yagya. Therefore although Purüravä desired something material, he factually performed yagya to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord is adhokshaja, beyond the perception of Purüravä and everyone else. Consequently, some kind of yagya must be performed to fulfill the desires of the living entity. Yagyas can be performed in human society only when society is divided by varnashrama-dharma into four varnas and four äshramas. Without such a regulative process, no one can perform yagyas, and without the performance of yagyas, no material plans can make human society happy at any time. Everyone should therefore be induced to perform yagyas. In this age of Kali, the yagya recommended is sankirtana, the individual or collective chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. This will bring the fulfillment of all necessities for human society.
