ASHVA stands for a Horse, and a horse signifies = VITALITY
MEDHA stands for INTELLIGENCE.
Therefore the term ASHVAMEDHA stands for generating VITALITY+ INTELLIGENCE in large populations, through the process of participating in YAGNA's .
2.Scientific Benefits of Yagna:
Purification of pollutants present in the AIR and atmosphere.
Dissemination of widespread Moral and Spiritual Knowledge (scientific spirituality) through Exhibitions, Books Stalls , performance of low cost weddings , Namkaran ceremonies etc.
3. The ORIGIN of the term ASHWAMEDHA:
In ancient days , Kings performing Ashwamedha Yagnas in their Kingdoms utilised the services of a HORSE for marketing the event.
A banner describing, the location, place , time and other relevant details of the Yagna , was placed on the HORSE's BACK and the horse was allowed to ROAM free, through the streets of a Kingdom as a moving advertisement of the YAGNA.
In the absence of the TV, internet, newspapers, a moving horse was used to advertise the YAGNA and to INVITE all to attend and participate. Hence the term Ashwamedha Yagna came into being.
