Huge cut - outs ... and Flex banners .. projecting self .. The projection of name and pictures of the organizer is more prominent than the cause for which sacrifice is being conducted ... Rajasi or the person in mode of passion always carries a boosted ego , a bloated 'Me' .. 'Me' has to move into background and should become less prominent if the cause is to be more prominent .. Dambha is presence of hugely grown 'Me' .. Rajasi performs sacrifice for Dambha ..
The spirit of Yagya is sacrifice , as the name suggests .. "Idam Na Mama" or 'this is not mine' 'this is Yours' .. That is the basic Mantra in a sacrifice or Yagya ..
