Fakirs walk on fire

The tradition of Siddhas is ancient and continues through blessings. This Agni Nartya, the fire dance, is part of that Siddha tradition, established here by great spiritual authority. The lineage includes revered figures like Kapila Muni, with accounts found in scripture. The Namokāra Mantra honors all Siddhas. Historical accounts tell of a Mughal emperor being shown the spiritual power of this fire dance, leading him to grant a copper plate decree. This decree authorized the rituals and offered protection. The singing for this ceremony is in the Aumkāra Rāga, passed down by Siddha forefathers for spiritual awakening. The effect of this song enables the Siddha to dance within the fire with joy and perform ritual offerings.

"Rustamjī Mahārāj, in Delhi, introduced Aurangzeb, the Mughal Emperor, to the spiritual power of Agni Nartya through the medium of Agni Nartya."

"He gave the Pramāṇa Patra that as long as the Delhi Sultanate exists, no one will stop you."

Filming locations: Kachrās village, To be determined, India.

Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. With the directive and blessings of Param Śraddhā, Viśvaguru, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Svāmījī, Maheśvarānandajī, Purījī, Mahārāj, all of you are going to witness and participate in this program of Agni Nartya, the fire dance. This tradition is the tradition of Siddhas, and the tradition of Siddhas has been continuing for a long time. It is a great blessing for you that in this Kachrās village, with the blessings of Mahāprabhujī, Hindu Dharm Samrāṭ, Swāmījī Madhavānandajī Mahārāj, Siddhas have been established here. The Siddha Puruṣa Paramparā, which includes Kapila Muni—who is counted among the Siddhas—has been explained by Svāmījī Mahārāj himself during discourses on Jñāna. The account of Alakhpurījī Mahārāj is found in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. Thus, the tradition of the Siddhas is very ancient and has been coming down since primordial times. Within the Dharma, there is the Namokāra Mantra. Within that, in one mantra, it is said: "Namo Siddhāṇam." I bow to all those Siddhas. The Namokāra Mantra... Mahāprabhujī alone gives the light, Mahāprabhujī alone gives the light. Rustamjī Mahārāj, in Delhi, introduced Aurangzeb, the Mughal Emperor, to the spiritual power of Agni Nartya through the medium of Agni Nartya. Aurangzeb gave the Tāmra Patra (copper plate decree) to this tradition of playing the Nagārā, performing Agni Nartya, and conducting Havan through its Vedic method. He gave the Tāmra Patra to all the Siddhas, stating that whether in a fort or a cave, they could emerge while the bells were ringing. He gave the Pramāṇa Patra (certificate of authority) that as long as the Delhi Sultanate exists, no one will stop you. This is a very great miracle of his spiritual power, his blessings. The singing in this is in the Aumkāra Rāga. The complete singing is in the Aumkāra Rāga, and the spiritual arrangements are present. Jasanāthjī Mahārāj and his ancestors, the Siddha Puruṣas who were his forefathers, sang these words. Therefore, the singing of these words is the singing of this Paramparā, which is for spiritual awakening. This is the singing in the Aumkāra Rāga. Thus, in this next part, we will enjoy the fire dance. It is the effect of this song that the Siddha Puruṣa will dance in the fire. They will also perform their bhakṣaṇa (ritual offering/consumption), and they will dance. There will be dance with joy and celebration, so there is a very beautiful arrangement in this. Śrī Hari Dhanyavād... This is a spiritual lecture about Yoga in the Indian tradition.
