    Agni Dev

    Namaste,

    We have Agni Dev, but I know nothing about Him. If you devotees have some more knowledge about Agni devta please share with me. If we have any sloka dedicated to Agni dev, please share with me.
    Namaskar,

    AmIHindu ?

    यज्ञानां जपयज्ञोऽस्मि ।

    नाम्नोऽस्ति यावती शक्तिः पापनिर्हरणे हरेः । श्र्वपचोऽपि नरः कतुँ क्षमस्तावन्नकिल्विषम् ।।

    If we look to the great ṛṣi śunaḥṣepaḥ ājīgartiḥ and his hymn 1.24.1 and 1.24.2 of the ṛg ved he asks,

    ' Being in doubt I ask, among the immortals (amṛta - immortal, imperishable) which deva/deity with an auspicious name shall we call? Who is that God who will restore us to the mighty aditi (the Infinite, wholeness, fullness) so I may behold again the father and the mother ( i.e. spiritual parents) '

    Agni Dev acts as a bridge between this ordinary world and the Gods. Symbolically the lamp is lit and kept in the houses.



    This is a prayer addressed to the lamp (deepa):
    Slogan

    Shubham karothi kalyanam, aarogyam, dhana sampadam,
    Shathru budhi vruddhi vinasaya deepa jyothi namo nama.
    English Translation

    Salutations and salutations,
    To the holy flame of the lamp,
    Which bestows on me all that is good,
    Health as well as wealth,
    And destroys all my enemies.

    Agni is very important deity which is responsible for yajnas. Wife of Agnidev is Swaha, we chant swaha while offering anything to Agni. Without swaha agnidev do not accept any offering and all offering will burn without offering.
