When to offer ahuti during havan !

मन्त्रेणोङ्गारपूतेन स्वाहान्तेन विचक्षणः
स्वाहावसाने जुहुयात् ध्यायन् मन्त्रदेवताम्

With the mantra sanctified by ॐ  and ending with स्वाहा , the ahuti should be offered at the end of स्वाहा  meditating on the deity of the mantra.

There is a more precise direction.

सकारे सूतकं विद्याद्धकारे मृत्युमादिशेत्
आहुतिस्तत्र दातव्यः यत्र आकार दृश्यते

स्वाहा is made up of    स् + व्  + आ  + ह्  + आ
स् is impure on account of sutaka
ह्  is attached to death.
Hence the ahuti should be offered when the आ succeeding ह् is seen - ie:- at the very end of स्वाहा

Importance of anujna ( permission ) from brahmins at the start of any ritual.

The performer of the ritual such as shanti, at the beginning briefly mentions the task that is ahead to the brahmins in the assembly and requests for their blessings for eligibility of the ritual. This is called anujna.

..............कर्तुं योग्यता सिद्धिं अनुगृहाण  this is the request.

brahmins say योग्यता सिद्धिरस्तु  - may you be eligible.

Dharma shastra says

ब्राह्मणानां विना वाक्यैः क्रियाः स्युर्निर्निष्फलाः स्मृताः
कर्तव्या ब्राह्मणानुज्ञा कर्मणां परिपूर्तये
Any task performed without obtaining the permission of the brahmins will be fruitless. The act of anujna should be performed for successful completion of the task,

How these blessings should be obtained ?

महादनुग्रहश्च द्रव्यदानेन कारयितव्यः
The blessings should be obtained by offering daanam.

दाने सर्वं प्रतिष्ठितम्  ( तैत्तिरीय आरण्यकम् )
