There is a concept of Pancha Maha Yajna, five great sacrifices. These are a constant duty for all living people. These are based upon certain Rina (debts) we have to various beings in life. Our lives are not independent. We are reliant on various beings in order to live prosperous lives. Based upon what we take from others, we assume certain debts, which are paid off through the practice of the Pancha Maha Yajnas. The five debts are 1) Pitri Rinam (debt to the ancestors), 2) Deva Rinam (debt to the Gods), 3) Rishi Rinam (debt to the Sages, Gurus and Preceptors), 4) Manushya Rinam (debt to society), and Bhuta Rinam (debt to living beings spiritual beings, nature, the elements and the environment).
