We Must Now Fulfill our Destiny Vasant
More periods of silence and meditation would help; otherwise, the mind goes analyzing all the time.
People talk all the time and lose so much energy.
We must now fulfill our destiny.
If one goes into more strict life-style, there will be experience of pure joy.
Divine will, destiny and freewill all now come together.
Let us take this opportunity now given by good Karma.
Let us fulfill the allotted task in all humility.
Message from Shree Vasant
Lima, Peru October 9, 2001
We have to warn the people in New York City and these other cities of U.S. Another place possibly targeted is NORFOLK, VA. People are not likely to consider moving but it is wiser to live outside of the cities and still do all the fires and help the people.
Now those of our people, i.e., people who practice Agnihotra fire who are now in larger cities of U.S., have to take precautions. Yes, Maharaj Shree protects them. Still New York is going to be more dangerous now. Washington, D.C., Boston, Massachusetts. More people practicing Agnihotra healing fires are required there. Also Miami. There is urgent need for more people practicing Agnihotra in
Los Angeles and Chicago. Also our people can go there for that purpose and LIVE OUTSIDE THE MAIN METROPOLITAN AREAS.
It is not only terrorism but also that natural
disasters have been predicted, PARTICULARLY IN COASTAL AREAS. If focus is on
airline security and at airports, then, of course, terrorists will move to another area where focus is less. They will not continue focusing only on airport airplanes. Next targets will be as well devastating if they are not stopped.
Now, as our work goes more on subtle level, it follows that those near rise more into power. By power we mean higher awareness simply. Maharaj Shree Gajanan can utilize the few people who do HIS work. All these days, when this was told the response was,
”How can a small number of people do all the work?” Now, as we move more and more into the subtle realms, so our people also begin to work with these subtle energies.
As you become more subtle, your physical needs also change, in terms of food, for example. Also at this point cleanliness becomes more important. Food becomes fuel only as desires fall away. Needs for this “fuel” change and one eats less and lighter as
one advances. Then a stage is reached where nothing is required but the body takes food only almost symbolically.
All of you will become more sensitive to vibrations. You have to move among many people where you can not always dictate the
situation. Still, stay in places that are clean, wear clean clothes, shower every day, keep discipline clothing for Agnihotra healing temples, plus 4 A.M. Mantras. As you become subtler, all these “I need” “I want”, become less
2. Practice DAAN (sharing your assets with humility) for inculcating non-attachment to worldly possessions.
3. Practice TAPA (body and mind discipline) for fruition of thy affirmations.
4. Practice KARMA (good deeds without attachment to the fruit thereof) for SELF-PURIFICATION.
5. Practice SWADHYAYA (Self study, who am I?) for liberation.
Now we must seriously begin to live our lives according to the FIVEFOLD PATH DENOTED BY THESE FIVE WORDS.
Whosoever be your Guru, whatever be your religious label, you will become a better member of your community if you structure your lifestyle based on these five words.
So the message is as follows:
Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Practice AGNIHOTRA for purification of the atmosphere which leads to purification of the mind.
Science paves the way to the Kingdom of Heaven.
YAJNYA is great material aid to achieve this state.
AGNIHOTRA has various aspects. Now it has gone to the public as science of HOMA THERAPY. We have assessed the scientific aspects of HOMA THERAPY. We have presented alternative viable sources for agriculture, medicine and psychotherapy based on HOMA THERAPY. We have shown how poverty can be eradicated in areas that are extremely nonproductive and plagued with problems due to pollution.
Now we also turn to the spiritual aspects of this path. This is the time for that now. Let us
go as science. Let us follow the principles of Fivefold Path.
Let us curb our anger. Let us curb our desires and go face-to-face with the six crocodiles which haunt us, i.e. anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, attachment, because to be a messenger of peace, one must behave as such. No one is perfect but let us at least take the responsibility to try to attain that perfect state of, “I and my Father are One”.
In realizing one’s own imperfections one must thereby inculcate the quality of compassion for others. Knowing that I myself am not yet perfect, how can I expect others to be? Let me try to understand. Let me have compassion for others. Let me never harbor jealousy, greed, anger. Let me be as pure an instrument of Divine Love as I am able to be at this time.
When you give up, you stop the process. When you give in to SURRENDER, the process of SELF-DEVELOPMENT is speeded up and that is where GRACE comes in. It is all GRACE.
If one has jealousy, anger, greed, lust, if one is consumed with fear, hatred, resentment, one is open to negative energies or DARK FORCES to play on one’s otherwise peaceful disposition. Once one opens the door to negativity, one becomes more vulnerable to manipulation. No matter what anyone says or does I should always respond with love. You can say the same statement with love or anger. So why not say it with love?
One can learn to see the incidents in life just as the tide on the ocean. Waves rise and fall but the ocean accepts both rise and fall. High tide, low tide, all the same. If someone becomes angry you need not become angry. Until the moment you take on their anger, it is only their anger, not yours. You can even say, “This is your anger, not mine. I will not respond to it with anger from my side”. Think instead, “How may I serve?” and the whole thing changes. You are more than that lowly anger. Let us rise to the occasion and serve our fellow man.
For several years our focus has been totally ecological. But people need to work on themselves to become more attuned in these times. The sun has risen on a NEW ERA. With only a little effort much progress can be made. Kingdom of Heaven is near. There will be PEACE, BLISS AND PROSPERITY for each and every one.

Self-Development Vasant
1. Practice YAJNYA for purification of the atmosphere.
(AGNIHOTRA tuned to the biorhythm of sunrise/sunset is the basic YAJNYA.)(Vasant gave the following address to the second International
Homa Therapy Conference held at Oasis in Wysoka, Poland on September 14-16,
2001.)
Agnihotra at Bhrugu Aranya
The concept of SELF-DEVELOPMENT is vast and also subjective. The person
on the spiritual path cannot go about the work of spreading Divine knowledge
without at least beginning to look within.
In such a conference, one can call himself a facilitator and all participate equally in any SELF-DEVELOPMENT exercise, discussion or activity.
Now we are at a point when it is either TOTAL LOVE or TOTAL DESTRUCTION. The lines are clearly drawn. When I am born in a human frame, then I am born “in HIS image”. What is to be achieved in life? The state of mind where it is always, “Love thy neighbor”, which leads to transformation of mind into the state “I and my Father are One”. All the prophets, Avatars, Divine Messengers come from the ONE Almighty Father to lead the people in the right direction when things go wrong. The message is the same, i.e., “Be ye transformed by the renewal of the mind.” The same message is again succinctly put by Avatar Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan Maharaj in FIVE simple words:

Second Address to the Conference Vasant
The purpose of this gathering here is not only to discuss
the future of Homa Therapy on this Earth but to cleanse and heal those who
have come here at this time. There is great influx of energies now and
time has come when all great saints and prophets of the past who have been
reborn now shall rise and take their places in the Divine Plan.
This is the exact time for all to rise. This is the reason why we are laying stress on SELF- DEVELOPMENT. As you practice and teach Agnihotra and Homa fires simultaneously, our self development should progress in the process.
First thing now is practice FORGIVENESS. If you have judged another or been jealous of another, angry towards another, FORGIVE now. FORGIVENESS SHALL CLEANSE YOU COMPLETELY. Without practicing forgiveness, you will not be able to move further.
Imagine that you are taking inventory of your thoughts stored in your mind. You think you have too many thoughts and have to reduce them. So quite naturally in any inventory, if it must be reduced, first to go are the oldest ones which have spoiled, ones which are out of date. So do the same with our own inventory. Throw out those thoughts which no longer serve you well. Any negative thoughts which are like rotting fruit, if you take them out, then nothing will spoil.
The personality, the ego, is like an outer shell. One with Divine Sight sees through the ego to the soul. That is why all these instruments, when played by the Divine, sound a complete harmony. Now you must focus on SELF-DEVELOPMENT in the light of Fivefold Path. It is for your benefit that you concentrate on your EVOLUTION. It is up to you to rise higher now in the LIGHT. Then the Divine can use your instruments to heal the planet and beyond.
This place, Bhrugu Aranya, is an ancient sacred site. Miracles shall take place here on this soil in this atmosphere so supercharged with ancient purification fires. It is tangible. It is energy which is alive and can be felt clearly, seen clearly, heard clearly. NOW FROM THIS DAY, THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN INFUSED WITH HEALING VIBRATIONS WHICH WILL PERMEATE THE SOIL, AIR AND ENTER INTO THE SYSTEM ON A SUBTLE YET POWERFUL PLANE.
Special souls who are in residence here and those brought to this sacred site by blessings, by their own good karma, are gathered here to be infused with light and to be cleansed for times ahead.
May you walk in light. All of you walk in Light.

ADVANCES OF RESEARCH IN FARMS WITH SYSTEMS OF PRODUCTION WITH AGRO-CATTLE COMPONENTS IN THE HIGH HUALLAGA ÁREA THROUGH INTERACTIVE INTERVIEWS.
Jorge Rios Alvarado
Zootecnic Engineer, with Masters in Agro-Cattle Systems of Production, Main Professor and Dean of the Department of Zootecnia of the UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AGRARIA DE LA SELVA, at Tingo Maria, (Peruvian Amazon).
I. INTRODUCTION
About 47% of farms in the High Huallaga have an agro-cattle component. They are the ones which produce most profit. They are not big, but present better conditions due to biodiversity and the functioning of their components, which are better managed by their owners.
Interactive interviews are important tools in observing dynamic agro-cattle systems because they include detailed discussions, analysis, understanding, comparison etc., which allow one to infer concretely about the objectives of the research.
Among the components evaluated in the different aspects of agro-cattle farms, we found Homa Therapy being practiced by some. Initially I was skeptical. However, as I continued to visit and to evaluate, I was surprised by the results observed. This fact allowed us to begin to use some indicators in order to be able to evaluate scientifically the cattle sector in particular.
The results concerning progress to date are satisfactory, comparing farms without the therapy and those with Homa Therapy, in spite of the fact that only two farms used Homa Therapy--those of Mr. Juan Muñoz Pérez in Milagros (Huanuco) and Mr. Américo Pérez in Tocache, (San Martin).
II. STUDY OF FARMS WITH A CATTLE COMPONENT.
PRODUCTIVE AND REPRODUCTIVE INDICATORS OF CATTLE BRED FOR MEAT IN THE HIGH HUALLAGA ZONE, COMPARISON OF FARMS WITH AND WITHOUT HOMA THERAPY.
VARIABLES INDICATORS WITH INDICATORS WITHOUT INDICATORS NORMAL
HOMA THERAPY HOMA THERAPY FOR THE ZONE
Reproductive Index (%) 88.6 60.0 65.0
Cow’s Mortality (%) 1.8 3.5 4.0
Calf’s Mortality (%) 3.5 11.5 10.0
Muscle Development (%) 16.0 8.7 12.0
Weight at Birth (kg) 35.0 - 40.0 30.0 28.0
Difficult Birth (%) 0 1.5 2.0
Placenta Retention (%) 0 1.0 1.5
Cow-calf separation (months) 5.0 6.0 - 7.0 6.0

External morphology of bred bovine cattle (cows, bulls and calves) for meat, with good characteristics of formation of muscular masses, compared with animals in farms without Homa Therapy.
· Excellent shine in the fur of animals with a good health appearance, as compared with animals without the therapy.
· Weight at the time of stopping breast feeding, heavier with Homa Therapy than those without the therapy and in lesser time.
· Animals tend to become more docile with Homa therapy.
· Young bulls to be made fat gained good weight (50 kilos), by eating only pasture, common salt and 2 kilos of Agnihotra ash, compared with mineral salts and pasture eaten by animals in farms without the therapy.
· Pastures improve their yield and quality. This is why the weight of the animals increases.
2.1. STUDY OF CROPS COMPONENT.
With regard to the crops one could observe:
· Absence of plagues and sicknesses in the crops of plantain, cocoa, citrus fruits, vegetables, in some cases with little incidence.
· It improves the production and the quality of agricultural products.
· The environment is notably healthier
· After harvest, HOMA products have greater durability, compared with the traditional (chemical) ones.
· Studies of farms with depleted soils due to the cultivation of coca were carried out. One could notice slight improvement in the composition of the minerals of the soil, according to analysis done in the laboratory of the UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AGRARIA DE LA SELVA. These were an outcome of the Masters Thesis in Systems of Production carried out by myself. An evaluation was also made of the economic effect of Homa Therapy on the farms. The results show that the best economic results were in the agro-cattle systems .
III. CONCLUSIONS
1. Observations have been followed up during 1.5 years
2. In spite of the fact that there were only two samples of farms applying Homa Therapy and there were several samples of farms without the therapy, the results obtained are superior in favor of Homa Therapy farms; in some cases, significantly but in other cases, with high significance.
IV. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. It is necessary to continue to evaluate the indicators in order to be able to validate what has been observed and to analyze them statistically through the multivaried analysis to compare variables, which will allow inferring with greater veracity the results.
2. It is necessary to carry out laboratory analysis of blood, Agnihotra, soil, water, pastures, crops, etc. in order to be able to compare the therapy with those who do not use Homa Therapy.
3. It is recommended to evaluate the validation of Homa Therapy through a multi- disciplinary team (agronomists, zoologists, veterinarians, nutritionists, plant pathologists, sociologists, forestry experts, etc.) for a better evaluation and analysis of the results and of the research processes.
4. Broaden the evaluation with a greater number of producers who manage Homa Therapy and with a greater number of cattle and agricultural components with regards to breeding and cultivation, respectively.
5. Greater inter-Institutional coordination, as well as with the producers to facilitate the
research.

Richard Powers & Karen Webb at Perelandra
Perelandra is a nature sanctuary and research center in
Warrenton, Virginia, U.S.A., founded by Machaelle Small Wright in 1976. It
is dedicated to the discovery and practice of nature’s principles of
balance as taught by nature. It is a private home which opens its doors to
the public three days a year free of charge. During the visit you get a guided
tour of the garden, and Machaelle gives a talk on the principles of their
work with nature spirits, introduces their material and answers questions.
In her talk Machaelle compares contemporary science with what she calls co-creative science. In contemporary science the scientist studies reality and draws conclusions on how it works. It strives to control nature and puts humans above it. In co-creative science (which is a new science involving scientists and nonscientists) you ALWAYS study your surroundings with a partner which is nature intelligence. It is the relationship between a human and nature intelligence. Nature has intelligence, which is organized. It’s the dynamic that flows through everything. This intelligence can be accessed, but not as we think. We need to build communication bridges and ask questions directly from this intelligence, to get answers. At Perelandra they work with kinesiology to achieve this.
Let’s take microbes as an example. First of all we won’t kill them, because they’ve been around forever (4.5 billion years). Secondly, as quickly and as easily as they adjust to an attack, they will adjust and achieve balance. Bacteria might mutate into another form in just 20 minutes! At Perelandra they have something they call a microbial balancing program. In it health is restored in a certain area and the microbes don’t have to mutate.
In contemporary science you nowadays hear of something called iatrogenic science. This means that when you have a problem, you come up with a solution (e.g. spraying an area for pests) and end up with more problems than you started out with (the pest mutates and becomes resistant to your poison.) This way you have to use stronger and stronger poisons.
What annoys and threatens us doesn’t have to be killed in order to change. If we work with nature we can shift the environment to achieve balance. When your insects are in balance they don’t harm your area, but exist in it in balance. In other places they leave destruction behind. We need to tell nature what goal we want to achieve with a certain area. Nature then provides us with all the information needed. What you need to achieve your goal in your area is different for every area. Only nature intelligence can tell you what that is. Nature says to us, “Tell us what you want to achieve and we’ll give you all the matter, means and actions you need to achieve it.” Nature always tells you how to achieve balance. It gives us matter-of-fact answers: if you do that, this will happen--the law of cause and effect.
Nature knows balance; it knows what’s in balance, what isn’t and how to achieve it. We humans don’t know balance but we have free will. We compensate each other. When you work with nature you cannot achieve iatrogenic science. Normally we try to force nature into an submissive role, which is impossible. Do not expect to turn this around in a second! It requires work to become a co-creative scientist all the time.
So, why take what Perelandra offers?
1) Because it works!
2) Because we live in extraordinary times when everything changes extremely quickly. Information spreads so fast, especially now with the internet. We need environmental and health solutions that work the first time. We don’t have time for mistakes! We need to take responsibility for our own environment and health to achieve balance. Everything offered at Perelandra is self-help. It’s easy to learn and apply effective solutions for quality of life.
The methods used when working in the garden at Perelandra are: awareness, observation and asking. Be aware of what goes on in your garden. When you see something that you think needs to be dealt with, use kinesiology to ask the nature spirits if and what to do and then apply that which you have been guided to do. The idea of being a co-creative scientist is that you always ask before taking any kind of action. At Perelandra they work with the devas for planting and maintenance, and with the nature spirits of the specific plants during the growth period. For beautiful description of the difference between nature spirits and devas, please, refer to Bruce Johnson’s article in Nov./ Dec. 2000 issue of SATSANG called Nature intelligences.

In her talk Machaelle compares contemporary science with what she calls co-creative science. In contemporary science the scientist studies reality and draws conclusions on how it works. It strives to control nature and puts humans above it. In co-creative science (which is a new science involving scientists and nonscientists) you ALWAYS study your surroundings with a partner which is nature intelligence. It is the relationship between a human and nature intelligence. Nature has intelligence, which is organized. It’s the dynamic that flows through everything.

Our Garden Maria Alejandra Mendez
I am very grateful to Shree for having motivated us to start
a garden in the house. Shree always talks about the importance of planting,
and it is not necessary to have a large amount of land; my experience can
tell you that. In the back part of our house, where we plant vegetables and
herbs, the space is about 4 x 3.7 meters. Already in an article of Satsang
some details of our garden have been published.
For the first time we are harvesting what we have planted in this small place. It is a wonderful experience. Also I must say that this mini-project would not have been developed except for my husband Jose’s hard work.
In our garden we do not even have to buy natural fertilizer. Thanks to our compost we gets lots and lots of black and fertile soil. We even have earthworms, which we have not added. In this compost we deposit all our vegetable, fruit and plant waste. Also we put in Agnihotra ash.
From that soil we make our agricultural beds, where we plant. For now, we have four beds. In one we planted coriander. It smelled so nice, not to mention its wonderful taste. You just can’t imagine how delicious it tasted. Just a few leaves were enough for cooking or for making salads. Nowadays when you buy these herbs in the market, you need to use a great bunch of leaves to see if you can get at least its taste, but here it was all the contrary. The people to whom we gave some coriander leaves were fascinated with their taste. We did not harvest all the coriander (but most of it) because we wanted to get the seed, free from chemicals and grown in Homa atmosphere. At this moment we are harvesting the seeds. So many seeds has this beautiful herb given us, it is a blessing. We have more seeds than we did in the beginning.
Another crop that lives in this small garden is tomatoes. This story is very funny because we never planted these tomatoes in the bed, they came up by themselves. It happened like this: We had used the soil from the compost. At first a pumpkin plant was born there, so we transplanted it to a larger area. (It is growing nicely and already has flowers.)
So after we took out the pumpkin we cleared the land, because we wanted to plant red peppers. But these were still too small to transplant. While we were waiting for them to grow, some rain came and the bed got full of weeds. To our surprise, when we went to pick the weeds, we found our bed full of tomato plants. We decided to leave the plants. After approximately a month and a half we saw our first green tomatoes. At this moment we are eating these very tasty tomatoes. They are not at all like the tomatoes from the market. The ones in the market taste like chemicals. You can notice this after tasting a “real” tomato. Approximately forty tomatoes have been harvested. The best part of all is that there are three kinds of tomatoes. The color is so very red that it looks unreal, but it is not, and the texture is strong, shiny and very resistant; it takes a long time for these tomatoes to rot.
Also something great happened with these two crops. Just one time we had to take out the weeds, because never again has a single weed come up. Not even after we harvested the coriander plants has a weed been born.
In the meantime we have lettuce growing in our seed plot. When we planted the seeds for the first time, just five days had passed and you could already see the small green leaves.
Concerning the red peppers, they have been transplanted to another bed, so they are in process now, and no weeds have come up. But one morning, when we went to see our peppers, some leaves had been cut off. We were so sad. They had been damaged by a small insect that comes out in the night and cuts, so we decided to put Agnihotra ash in this bed. After observing for some days we noticed that this insect did not visit us anymore.
Agnihotra and Vyahruti ash is used on our plants.
As always, our male papaya tree is more beautiful then ever. We have about thirty papayas. Just when you finish eating one, the tree is all ready to give you another.
Another story to tell about our male papaya tree is that one day an agronomic engineer, a specialist in papaya and passion fruit, came to our house to ask us about Homa Therapy. We showed him some photographs of some papayas, but he was very skeptical. Afterwards, my sister and I asked him about male papaya trees. He said that the fruit usually never develops, so we told him to come outside and see our papaya tree. He had no words when he saw it. After a while he said that this was a very unusual case.
Now I must talk about our passion fruit plant. We planted the seeds of the passion fruit very near our garden. Our garden is surrounded by a rock wall. This plant grew so much that it surrounds all the garden. Everybody who comes to my house has to see the plant because is very green, beautiful and healthy. The only thing is that this plant never gave flowers. One day an agronomer who specializes in passion fruit and papaya (the same one mentioned before) came. He told us that it was a nice plant, but unlikely that it would give fruit. Normally passion fruit is grown in hot areas, and in a lower altitude than where we live. Also a friend of ours, whose brother plants passion fruits said that when the plant is growing you have to cut some leaves and choose the best stem. Of course, since we did not know, we didn’t do it. But with Agnihotra and Vyahruti fires, everything changes. Now we have incredible flowers bursting out all over the plant. The insect that pollinates it has come to visit us, and before we had not seen it. We had even thought about getting some, because we never saw them in the garden. And the best part of all is that we already have fruit. In approximately two to three weeks we got our first fruits!
As Shree says, one does not need a big land to grow food. For Jose and me, this experience has been very significant. Harvesting what one grows is a great lesson. You can almost imagine what a farmer has to do, so that we can have our food in the market.
If you have a little piece of land or if not, even in pots, try this experience of planting with Homa Therapy (Agnihotra). You will be very grateful and also amazed by what you can harvest.
