By performance of yajnas, all activities become purified, as it is stated in the Vedas:ahara-suddhau sattva-suddhih
sattva-suddhau dhruva smritih smriti-
lambhe sarvagranthinam vipramokshah.
Performance of yajnas has many benefits
By performance of yajna one's eatables become sanctified
By eating sanctified foodstuffs one's very existence becomes purified; By the purification of existence finer tissues in the memory become sanctified, and when memory is sanctified one can think of the path of liberation.
In Bhagavad Gita (BG) Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna
BG 3.16: My dear Arjuna, one who does not follow in human life the cycle of sacrifice established by the Vedas certainly leads a life full of sin. Living only for the satisfaction of the senses, such a person lives in vain.
As explained by Srila Prabhupada
Yajna or sarcifice for the current Age of Kali is the sankirtana-yajna (Kirtan- chanting of the Holy name) is recommended by the Vedic scriptures, and this transcendental system was introduced by Lord Caitanya for the deliverance of all men in this age.
