Gita Havan is the oblation to the sacrificial fire with the chanting of verses (slokas) from the Gita.

The aspirant worships fire as God. Fire worship is as old as man himself. Fire occupies such a cardinal place in all forms of ritualistic worship. The Rig Veda commences with a hymn praising fire (agni). It is believed that the deity of fire acts as the link between the aspirant and the deity (Atma and paramatma). It is believed that the offerings made to the fire are transported to the invoked deity. Homa and fire always rise upwards, symbolizing liberation and spiritual evolution.
