[FairfieldLife] Mechanics of Yagyas

[llundrub]

So I know yagyas are the way of heyam dukam anagatam etc, but what are the 
mechanics exactly? I mean, do the devas just dig it so much that we do 
ceremonies that they shower blessings? So they are not altruistic? They will 
only help those who sacrifice?  What are the mechanics? Are they moral?  If 
you only sacrificed exactly so much do you only get exactly so much back? Or 
is the quality of the priest important? If you have a huge and expensive 
yagya with a shitty pundit is it not as good as a poor yagya with a great 
pundit?  And so on... Is it not only karma really? The amount of energy put 
into the aspect of creation through ritual?
