Response of agnihotra ash on the growth of pathogenic microorganisms

Ash-1 collected after performing agnihotra with same materials without chanting mantras and timing Ash-2 collected after performing the agnihotra at sun rise and sun set with proper procedure. Different beneficial soil bacteria and yeast viz., Bacillus sp., Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas sp., Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker's yeast), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (industrial yeast), Saccharomyces cerevisiae were inoculated in Nutrient Agar and Yeast extract Peptone Dextrose Agar medium containing Ash-1 and Ash-2. Growth of these microbes was recorded more in media containing Ash-2 and less in media having Ash-1. Growth of pathogens was restricted in Ash-2, while it was more in Ash-1.
