Satsang
We are living in very special times. On one side it is like the dance of the devil on the planet, and on the other side there is so much grace operating on the planet now. The sun has already risen on the new era. We are entering the new era and it is total bliss, total joy and total prosperity for each and every one. That time is very near, which we call KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ON EARTH.
Just before that there is supposed to be terrific destruction in the next few years, before the end of this century. It is told in the Bible that nation will fight against nation.
The same thing was told in different parts of the world on different occasions. For example in India, at the time of Buddha, about 2,500 years ago, it was told that this next 2,500 years will be a great plunge down and then new things will come. Similar things are told in Mayan and Aztec traditions of South America, and something similar was told to the Hopis in Arizona. In India there is literature more than five thousand years old where they describe the planetary conditions which will be when these last days come, and that is now.
Of our solar system: In old days astronomy was a wonderfully developed, totally revealed science and wonderfully maintained. In India, in several different centuries several saints have talked about this time now according to the Indian calendar. Prophet Mohammed said that fourteen hundred years after him things will change; that time is now. A round figure is given.
Of course the time is now when it has to be either TOTAL LOVE OR TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Soon after the second World War ended, General MacArthur of the U.S.—who won the war but could not win peace—when he was due to retire, he said now it will have to be total love or total destruction. Of course, a general who won the war is saying this and of course the level on which you are operating is so much higher. I am just quoting some worldly example.
One blind saint, who was blind since birth in India about three hundred years ago, was talking about this time. He gave the date according to the Indian calendar, which is now. He said of that time: north, south, east and west, everywhere it will be all famine and death and only those will survive who will meditate on (and now he uses a particular word and that particular word means the sun, and of course has some other meanings also.) The coming of this fire for the future was foretold in the Bible also. John the Baptist said, “I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” (Matthew 3:11) So first the Holy Spirit and then the fire was to come. If you refer to the book of Daniel, chapter eight verse twenty-six, it goes like this: The angel Gabriel is giving so many visions to Daniel and about one vision the words are like this: “And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true; wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.” The North American Bible Society made a special research on these particular words and now they have come out with a version where they have added one more word and they have added the word sacrifice. Now this Bible verse reads like this: “The vision about the evening and morning sacrifices which has been explained to you will come true. But keep it secret now, because it will be a long time before it does come true.”
You see that in the Bible; I give you an example from the Bible because you are more familiar with it. You will see that all appearances of the Divinity are through the fire. It is only through the appearance of fire that the words are mentioned in the Bible, “I am God, I am God”. Let’s look to Ezekiel or others. Wherever there is an appearance of the Divinity it is always through fire. Fire was very sacred all over the world, but later on either due to sins of commission (that means doing wrong action) or sins of omission (that means not doing the action), then terrific karma takes place. To bring people back to the light, divine messengers come. Thus come all the prophets we know of, whether it is Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Mohammed, Jesus.
There is a big science behind the story of Moses and the burning bush. Moses sees the burning bush, he sees the fire, but the bush burns not itself and in Exodus Moses is told, “Remove thy shoes off thy feet, for thou art treading holy ground.” Fire is held holy all over the world. What we see in the churches with candle burning is only a remnant of this old science. You find also in Jewish synagogues that they were supposed to maintain a twenty- four hour fire. Apart from ancient times if you look to historical times during the days of the Greek empire in a temple they used to maintain a twenty-four hour fire and the orders were: if for any reason the fire stops, all government work must stop because the purity is lost.
Coming to still more modern times, for example five hundred years ago on the continent of South America, one of the lost empires was the Inca empire. You might have visited Cuzco. It was the capital of the Incas. It was the last empire on this continent. Today’s Archeological Department will tell you that this was the place where the palace of the emperor was in Cuzco. Now of course that palace is gone and there is the palace of justice. But still you see the foundation. And very near to that, just a few meters away from the palace of the emperor there is an Inca wall. It is a wonderful thing how they built these walls, very beautiful and exact by measure. Just behind this wall the Archeological Department will tell you that there was another palace and that was called the palace of the virgins.
What do they mean by palace of the virgins? We can understand king’s palace, queen’s palace, prince’s palace, but what is a palace of the virgins? And that is next to the palace of the emperor. That means it was given a very, very important place. From all parts of the empire, from selected families, virgins were brought there with the consent of the parents, virgin girls who had not reached maturity, and a twenty-four hour fire was maintained with medicinal herbs. The girls were all dressed in white.
The person in charge of this palace of virgins was always a member of the royal family, sometimes brother, sometimes uncle of the emperor, the Inca. Emperors were not vegetarians, but the person in charge of the palace of the virgins had to be totally vegetarian. Of course, that is the sacredness of the fire which heals the atmosphere. It makes the atmosphere good for plants, nutritious to plants for human beings.
There is another interesting example from this continent of South America. If you go to Huanico in Peru, the Archeology Department tells us that there is a pyramid of Kotosh-Kotosh. If you go to the museum in Lima they have kept a replica of that pyramid of Kotosh-Kotosh, as it was in ancient times. There they show a fire going on for twenty-four hours. Of course, they show it with electricity. In the last few years the Japanese archeologists have done a great deal of work and others joined them afterwards. Now, what is called the pyramid of Kotosh-Kotosh, that place is shown, but everything is destroyed. And they say that it was there two thousand years before Christ. From there and before that. And a twenty-four hour fire was kept.
When they went on investigating things they said that this was the main pyramid and there is nothing left of that. Next to it was an observatory, and after making more research they said that there were twenty-one pyramids surrounding the main pyramid in a few kilometers. (The figure twenty-one is important.)
It is the science of healing and is called the science of resonance. The fire is kept going on all the time and there is a resonance with these twenty-one pyramids. And for hundreds of kilometers the effect goes for healing the plants, giving nutrition to plants, and removing disease. But since creation up till today it has been the fire, the holiest of the holy. Now the time has come that so many scientific things behind this fire will be made public; they are being made public. The ancientmost knowledge known to mankind is from the Vedas. It is given in a language called Sanskrit, which was nobody’s mother tongue on this Earth at any time and it is the mother of all European and all Indian languages. If you go to any university in the world where any European language is spoken and you go to the Department of Linguistics and ask them where your language comes from—if it is Spanish, Portuguese, Scandinavian, Greek, any European language—they will tell you it comes from Sanskrit, via Latin and Greek. So, when we do these Mantras which are given in Sanskrit language, then you should know this is not a foreign tongue. You do not call your grandmother a stranger. Via Latin and Greek it has come to your language.
This particular process which you saw now has such tremendous effect, we will talk about that in a few minutes and it is called Agnihotra. The Spanish word “ignicion” comes from the word “agni” meaning fire. Agni is Sanskrit, ogoni in Slavic languages and ogon in Russian. Spanish and English come from the same word. Now we are going to talk something extremely concrete. We are living in the most difficult circumstances on the planet. If you want to know what the scientists are talking, it will create all panic, and they say they have no solution. In a few minutes let us have a quick look at the picture as the scientists tell us. Now remember there are no politics in this; top scientists of all countries are unanimous about it.
They tell us that every drop of rain that falls on the earth today is acidic, and they tell us that even if we stop all our automobiles and factories (of course we are not going to do it, but even if we do it) it is not enough, they say. What has already gone into the atmosphere is enough to bring acid rain for several more years. And if that happens for the next two or three years only, all the soil all over the world becomes acidic and nothing will grow. What is called the pH is becoming more and more acidic. If the top fifteen centimeters of the soil becomes acidic, nothing will grow. All our life depends on fifteen centimeters. There is no solution for this.
If you look at the ozone holes and their effect, it is horrible. We were in Punta Arenas, which is the last point of Chile; practically after Punta Arenas is the Strait of Magellan and some barren land which is called Tierra del Fuego (land of fire), because when Magellan first went there he saw fires burning there. There we saw people with blisters on their skin due to the sun, plants looked as if you had put boiling water on them, and thousands of sheep overnight became blind. Children have cataracts in their eyes and get blind. The farmers who did not accept the rules from the government went blind, and the children from the subsouth vomit their viscera. But the government has not made these things public because it creates panic and there is no solution.
From Chile we went to Argentina and Buenos Aires and we told them that in the city of Ushvaya in the south, similar conditions start there, and the only solution is Agnihotra ash. That’s why we are telling about this. They know nothing about it and then something happened in Buenos Aires. A lady who likes to work with us knows the military general of Ushvaya and talked to him about the skin cancer at epidemic level and leukemia, and the general said, “Who told you this? This is a secret.”
But how long can they maintain this secret because there is no solution? We say there is a solution and to share that solution we are here. This solution is such, given in the Vedas, to get us out of this situation which is everywhere; that it can be applied to agriculture, medicine and other fields. But we do it extremely professionally now, because the time is extremely short. People in general don’t have any idea that time is extremely short. It is like the extinction of all life on the planet. If you look at the Amazon forest satellite pictures as given by NASA, they say that in a few years everything will be finished, because all is diseased. I am not telling this because people are cutting the forests, but because of the disease. The scientists say if these trees die in this way by the end of the century, there will not be enough oxygen to breathe on the planet. The plants breathe out oxygen and we breathe in oxygen. More than thirty years ago, the scientists of the Soviet Union and U.S., who have space technologies, told the government that by the end of the century things will become so bad that we will have to think of transferring the population to some other planet. Recently the Defense Advisor said to the President of Russia that there are ten Chernobyls floating in the ocean. He was referring to ten nuclear submarines which are about to be finished. You know that there is nuclear waste in space now; what terrific things man has done to this planet. But there is a big Divine Plan to stop all these things and some people will be used as instruments to let this happen and the planet is going to be saved, even though scientists say it is not possible to save the planet. Now they say officially that in central Europe and in Eastern Europe there is not a single drop of water which is fit for drinking.
We will see now on one side inundation, on the other side drought, but total destruction. Today we already notice genetic mutation in human beings, if you look to the area around Chernobyl. That means not only insects, birds, not only animals but also in human beings genetic mutation has taken place. In several places in the U.S. people are living on a time bomb, because nuclear and chemical trash has been put into the land. Scientists knew all this, but still they were doing it. So now there is a big Divine Plan. Somebody told us in the car when we came to stop all this injustice, because soon after the year two thousand it will be Kingdom of Heaven on earth. But of course before that, terrible destruction, terrific disease in the next two years.
Actually, we can say there is a big divine conspiracy to lift us all up and even if you want to oppose you are not going to succeed, but if you try to harmonize with it, your misery will be less. That is why all these things from ancient science are now revealed. This process of Agnihotra is the basic process given at the time of creation, through the Vedas. For the science of medicine, science of agri-culture, science of climate engineering and the science of interplanetary com-munication, this is the basic process.
By the way, if you think these dark things are only in eastern Europe, Africa or Asia, your next door neighbor can have these in your country. There are some places in Tachira State, where the University has been trying to examine things for the last four or five years but they cannot find anything about it, so what to do. The place is called El Cobre in Tachira. They are talking about mentally retarded children, and the food that grows is in a very radioactive and diseased state. They happened to read one of the books called Homa Therapy. There something is mentioned about ancient science coming through the Vedas and there it is mentioned in the book that it is told in old science what modern science calls DNA. If that D is three, then it is TNA (Tri) and the whole thing is lost. This was an interesting subject for them. Then they took us to that place. A nice farm, nice water spraying is going on to water the farm, and they say, “See how nice it looks, but all the water is acidic and it is going to kill. But what can we do? We have to give water.” And so many families with mentally retarded children. I am just telling things that are near also. Now we hear of something which will give us immediate results. We do know that nearly all over the planet in large areas the food production has come to half—all of Africa officially, large areas of Asia and of course in all of eastern Europe whatever grows there is all radioactive. Coming near, if we go to Zulia State you will find there and nearby fifty thousand hectares of plantains nearly all dead with the horrible disease Sigatoka Negra. This disease started in Honduras, then Guatemala and came down south into Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. There is no solution, it is just spreading and no fruit grows. What is called FONIAP in this country (the Agricultural Department) came out with pamphlets “How to Live Together with Sigatoka Negra”—no question of eradication because no country has eradicated it and all is lost. If you go to Santa Barbara in Zulia State, beyond El Vigia, you see about five to six thousand hectares that you would call a dead world. We were there. And no country has been able to stop this disease. They say that they don’t know what to do and that everything will be finished in two years, as some of you people know. Just in the month of June some people of the Tachira University who have a little experience of this fire talked to somebody at Corpozulia, which is in the midst of this dead area. There they have a research station called Sur del Lago area. So far as north area of Zulia is concerned they have LUZ (La Universidad de Zulia)— they have a research station. So a few months back we told them unless you take to scientific methods, things are not going to grow. It is Divine will that these scientific methods are revealed now. You want to try this on your research station? They say, “Our research station is totally finished because of all this. Nothing can grow there. All pesticides, insecticides, we don’t even want to pay the watchman—no solution.” That was a few months back. But as time passes, we tell the people things are like emergency now. So in the month of June when these Tachira people told this Corpozulia, there was the head of the research station. They told him that he and I should meet sometime. Through someone we got the direction and we said, “We have no time to waste on words, on talking. If you are ready for action, then let us talk and if you want to know what this wonderful Vedic science is, if you are ready to observe what can happen, official observations, we show you how your biggest problem will be solved. No country of South or Central America is able to solve this, or even reduce this disease. With very, very high and strong doses of pesticide they are able to limit it, but after a certain time even those pesticides don’t work and all the land is spoiled.” We told him, “Find a place for us which is extremely affected by the disease. Minimum should be eighty percent affected or more, where you have no hopes, where nothing can be done at all and there you not only cannot grow plantains, but you cannot grow yucca, you cannot grow anything because the land is bad. We want you to do the soil analysis before we start the six month project.” We told him we will get volunteers from U.S. and Europe to work here free, who are trained and of course some local people, Venezuelan and then you just see what happens in four months. We want you to observe the following points:
First you will see that everything becomes green, green, green, which was all dead and you will find that this green is different from the chlorophyll which comes due to fertilizers like nitrogen, urea for example. Then in three months you will see that new leaves will come which are without disease. In four months you will see that the weight of the plantains will increase because the plant has become healthy, and something miraculous happens after six months which you cannot get by any other method. That is, the taste of the banana and plantain will change, like the current young generation has never tasted—only your grandmothers or your mothers will know. It is something fantastic. The acidity becomes less, the disease goes, the weight of the racines increases, the number of the racines per pesada decreases, harvesting losses are reduced. That means you can grow more things in a small area. We have to protect the land from the acid rain, which spoils it.
Within three days we got those volunteers from U.S. and Europe. And then it was a place fit for servants to live—no toilet, nothing—and these people stayed there. Fifteenth of June we started; that means it is hardly three months and ten days, and see what has happened. Only just before we were leaving to come here we got a fax from KM 41, near El Vigia, near the research station Corpozulia. It was a shock to them how these things happened. We said we talk now professionally. I know you are not farmers but still you need food to eat and terrific days now come—in the last two years unheard of. At the same time, so much grace. It is grace which has brought us together today and some people have been instrumental in this.
About two years ago I was telling Irma Garcia to go to the Central University in Caracas. If there is a head of a department who really wants to think in terms of science, we will talk to them. We prefer, of course, agriculture, medicine, botany or biology.
[Irma Garcia continues:] I met Dr. Milena Delgado, head of the Botanical Department of the Faculty of Pharmacy in the Central University of Venezuela. She went to see Vasant and told him that the satellite pictures from NASA show the lack of oxygen on the planet and there is nothing we could do. Vasant told her about Homa Therapy. Immediately, she bought ten hectares in a very arid land in Venezuela. In two years the taste of the fruits improved so much that people paid her three times more than the normal price for her produce, and the ornamental trees grew bigger than her two-story house! Now, when you ask for her farm, people from the town say, “Oh, the botanical garden!”
[Vasant continued.] This is a wonderful science and this is only a small aspect of it. It is important to grow food, healthy food. Now this particular process, if you practice in your house, is one simple fire tuned to the biorhythm of sunrise and sunset. This is the basic process for all biological functioning on earth. It is extremely critical that this fire is done according to exact correct timing.
Sunrise and sunset are the basic biological rhythms which affect all biological functioning. In the science of medicine as given through the Vedas and maintained by these yogis in tradition, it is not written in any books. Only now, for the first time, some things are made public in print how to do it practically. They describe sunrise like this. (This knowledge is as old as creation. Now I am only translating from Sanskrit into English.) This is the description of sunrise: At the coordinate of the planet where the sun appears to rise (the sun does not rise; it is the earth which rotates) a flood of energies comes from the sun which consists of several types of electricities and subtle energies. This flood of energy comes in the shape of a pyramid, like a shock to that point which is called sunrise. At sunset it is withdrawn with a shock in the same shape of a pyramid.
They say we are to prepare the fire exactly at this time and do this process (the pyramid has to be exactly of this size and shape with steps and only of copper or gold) according to one particular definition of sunrise and sunset (because there are many definitions of sunrise and sunset, but we are asked to make use only of one particular definition for this process). And we use cow dung and put cow’s ghee and rice into the fire accompanied by the mantra at the exact time given on a computer printout, as you saw just now. They say that the first effect goes approximately twelve kilometers in space and again it comes back to the pyramid, and while coming down it brings nutrition from above. After doing this mantra and putting the rice into the fire so long as the flame is going on there will be an aura energy field around each and every blade of grass and tree in the proximity. The particles that come from above are contained in this area and the plants inhale this nutrition. That makes them strong, makes them healthy, gives them nutrients and in return they give us love and nutrition to the atmosphere. So the basic idea of Homa Therapy is that I heal the atmosphere and the healed atmosphere heals me. The plant gets nutrition and you don’t need any fertilizer and the disease goes.
Now this software [for sunrise/sunset timings] is prepared in Germany, based on one particular definition of sunrise and sunset.
The ash from this process is extremely medicinal. It is the German doctors who have developed a system for human medicine in the last fifteen to twenty years. How to use it for different purposes. Of course, this person here can tell you what he has used it for in Valera.
[Juan Leal spoke:] In the small farm that we have, each time a cow or any animal gets sick, it gets cured with a little Agnihotra ash added to a bucket of water. Now all the neighbors know about this and always ask for Agnihotra ash when they have a sick animal. The first experience was with an avocado tree. All the leaves were covered with worms. After one application of water with Agnihotra ash, the tree got healed. Ever since, it has never gotten sick again, and that was three years ago. Fifteen days ago our mango tree looked a little sick. After one application of Agnihotra ash on the trunk, many ants came out of it, and the tree got healed. I had two hundred chickens that got a disease called “buba”, which blinds them. I applied ghee to their eyes. Not one of them died; all healed. My neighbors thought I was a witch doctor. Now they all come to me for Agnihotra ash and ghee. One boy said that when he graduates from veterinary school he will always use the Agnihotra ash and ghee as medicine for his animals.
[Vasant continued:] Now through the fire the whole planet will be nourished. It was given in ancient times. Later on, some bad practices came, like putting flesh and blood into fire. Therefore Jesus came to stop these bad practices. In India Buddha came to stop this. The human beings do the same things whether it is in India or in any other place. But now the whole things goes back to the ancient fires as they were and this fire nourishes the foundations of this whole earth. This fire should be in every home now. It has a wonderful effect on the mind. As we enter this new era it has to be a wonderful family with all harmony and contentment. We should learn to grow our food, to garden with this method. We have seen in Spain, for example, professionals like doctors and lawyers who are busy people, in twenty-five square meters grow enough vegetables for the family.
A busy person can do this but these are only the material aspects of fire we are talking about. It has a wonderful effect on the mind. From medical point of view the explanation is given in a particular way. According to the Vedic science of medicine called Ayurveda (which is a lost science, nearly lost) they tell us that all our breathing depends on the phase of the moon. Exactly at sunrise the breathing changes. Then every two and a half hours there is a change, but the basic change at sunrise is extremely important, and has a wonderful effect on the mind.
Our breathing system itself changes according to the phases of the moon. We are not breathing through both nostrils at the same time all the time. According to old science, breathing through the left nostril has a different effect from breathing through the right nostril, although it is the same air. And depending on the phase of the moon, exactly on the definition of sunrise on which this computer is based, that basic change takes place and if according to nature’s timetable the breathing is to begin through the left nostril, it will automatically begin. It is like after the full moon for three days it begins in a particular way, the next three days alternate. So you can see how the effect of the moon is so important on the mind. All your ancestors knew this. That is why you have this word in your language: a crazy person is called “lunatic”. The word luna is connected with moon (Spanish “luna”). You can see the effect of the full moon and no moon on the tide of the ocean. Same thing in human functioning. So if you are sleeping at sunrise, this change may or may not take place according to nature’s timetable. But if you are just up at sunrise, automatically your breathing will be adjusted to the phase of the moon and it becomes harmonious for the body. In English and in other languages they have a proverb: “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” In Spanish, it goes: “El que madruga, Dios la ajuda.”
But if you are doing Agnihotra at that time when the breathing is changing, at that time you are breathing in medicinal air, and that has a wonderful effect on the homeostasis of the body.
So it is the Divine will that through these fires, which we call holy fires, the planet will be rejuvenated. Remember there is a big science behind this. First you get all these material benefits. It has a wonderful effect on the mind. It makes the mind full of love, so it is easier to take the next step for your own development. To some of you this was told in a particular way. That is because those souls will act as healing vehicles, even if you do not practice this. It is a blessing that it was told to you, but if you do practice this, that means so many other people are going to be helped. In the beginning, along with creation, many sciences were given, and also it was told how to make your life on this planet a journey of joy. The aim of human life is, Not my will, but Thy will be done—to go into that state. That means to make the mind totally full of love, and for that a path was shown. The same path is now reiterated. Nothing is new. It is represented by five simple words. All the prophets, all the religions—these five words are the basis of their teachings. The first word is YAJNYA. The word HOMA is synonymous with Yajnya. We call it Homa Therapy. That means practice these holy fires and then the whole environment is healed and the healed atmosphere heals you and others. It helps to bring nature into harmony. So this is a great material aid for material prosperity and for physical and mental health.
The second word is DAAN. It is the same word in Spanish. You call it “dar”. That means you share your material possessions without expecting any name or fame, without any publicity. These are two material aids for a happy life on earth. It prepares you for the next step.
That third word is TAPA. The Spanish word “temperatura” comes from the word Tapa. When gold is mixed with lower metals you heat the mixture and what remains is pure gold. So similarly Tapa means a little control over body and mind habits.
Next word is KARMA. That means do Karma for self-purification. You cannot remain without Karma even for a single moment. Thinking is Karma, words are Karma, action is Karma. And it is always reap as you sow. So do Karma for self-purification.
The last word is SWADHYAYA. It is self study.
All the religions, all the prophets’ teachings are based on these five words. Now this big Divine Plan is like an army of love, commanded to help the planet. First thing is that this fire has to go in every house. Okay, you want the material benefits, here are the material benefits. We will see after two years food will just not grow and scientists will be shocked that food grows where this is practiced.
These things were told to some of you before this meeting, of course. Those souls will be used as instruments to bring healing to hundreds of others, because it is through these ancient fires of Yajnya that this planet is going to be rejuvenated. It will bring kingdom of Heaven on earth.
There is a small children’s program based on these five words. There are some songs in it also. It started in the United States, but the Spanish translation was even better. Maria Cecilia Mendez went to Chile to learn it. She has specialized in this. It is for children, with dance, music, painting and fire.
