In a literal sense, Sagnik means "something ( or someone ) which has the existence of fire within itself ( or himself )
Mythologically Sagnik means "The Worshipper of Fire ( or Fire God ) ". Sagnik is, as a matter of fact, a category of ancient Hindu Brahmins who used to maintain the sacred fire of a Yajna ( and any Yajna is normally associated with fire ). The Sagnik Brahmins used to take the responsibility of keeping the Yajna Fire glowing continuously throughout the period of the ceremony. First, they used to prepare the "Yajna Kund", the container or place for the sacred fire of the Yajna. Then they would strive to keep the yajna flame burning by offering ghee, camphor etc . in it. The Rishis or Brahmins performing the main ceremony used to consider this Yajna kund ( maintained by Sagnik Brahmins ) as the centre of the universe and the ultimate centre of knowledge, purity, creativity and sacrifice. So Sagnik Brahmins were a class of learned people who were basically the Worshippers as well as Guardians of Fire. |
