The Song of the Little Fire

Ag-nim-ee-lay Pu-ro-hi-tam

{अग्निमीळे पुरोहितं}

The Brave Lantern-Bearer 

Did you know that you have a tiny, magical sun living right inside your chest? His name is Agni, and he is your very own Inner Fire.

He isn’t a fire that burns or makes you go “ouch”. He is a fire made of pure Glow.

Think about that feeling when you really, really want to learn how to ride a bike? Or when you decide to be extra kind to a friend? Yes, that warm, happy “oomph” you feel in your heart? That is Agni waking up!

The ancient songs call him the “First Leader”.

Because he stands at the very front of your heart with a golden lantern.

He is like a brave captain on a ship. He lights up the dark so you aren’t afraid to try new things.

When you stand at the edge of a tall slide, you might feel a little nervous.

Agni is the one who whispers, “I’ve got the light! Let’s go explore!”

He is also a “Bringer of Jewels”. But he doesn’t carry heavy gold in his pockets. He brings the jewels of Being Brave, Being Curious, and Being Kind. Every time you say “I can do it!”, your inner Agni dances and grows brighter.

You are never alone.
You are never in the dark.
You carry your own beautiful light everywhere you go.
You are the keeper of the magic flame!
