SATSANG
We have gone into
such diseased areas where the 'promise' of famine is obvious.
Famine is imminent.
With the use of these ancient YAJNYAS these same areas
have become like
gardens of Paradise. The FEAST.
So man does have a
choice. Chemicals can only produce for so long before the soil
is completely depleted.
There are many diseased
areas. Let us show the world now what miracle HOMA
THERAPY can produce.
Quickly we have to
organize ourselves, mobilize. These experiments as have been
done in South American
countries can be done in other areas.
Now for the first
time scientists are admitting they have no answers to the world's
pollution problem.
ONLY THOSE ANCIENT METHODS WILL WORK NOW.
In land where
topsoil has been destroyed there is great improvement with use of
Homa Therapy techniques.
Of course, all these bio-dynamic gardening methods
are employed but
now with AGNIHOTRA the effect is magnified. Results are
sooner realized than
simply with ordinary organic gardening. Problems arose when exact timing
were not kept. Best is AGNIHOTRA done same place at sunrise/sunset every
day. Then YAJNYAS speed up this healing process.
Seeds have been sown.
Great work has been done in difficult conditions. Do not
think this is not
within the sight of KALKI AVATAR PARAMA SADGURU SHREE
GAJANAN MAHARAJ.
The HAND that moves you may be invisible to the eye but it
is OMNIPRESENT. Such
blessings are rare indeed.
Everlasting Love can
only come through the Divine. All earthly love merely tries to
imitate it. This
earthly love is not the goal. It is NOT THAT.
Be aware of the trap of the ego. Be aware of it. Not 'beware' but be aware. One must always have humility.
Keep constant concentration
always at the feet of the Master. These are grave
times. SATYA DHARMAH
SANATANAH.
Prepare for great
work ahead of you. Reverence and joy. No sorrow. No fear now.
Time is an important
factor now. We have to be always on time, well planned and
reliable. Not lackadaisical
about punctuality.
SWADHYAYA is self
study, going deep into the question "who am I" and thus
improving oneself
through inner study.
Through TAPA one rises
above attachments to sense desires, one's appetites for
lust, anger, food,
drug, alcohol, excess TV, movies etc.
When you develop a
higher awareness you need to move further, move higher to
the stage where you
no longer perceive others' weaknesses as faults. You simply
see them, accept
the person as he is and give LOVE without judgment. At the next stage you
do not feel even the need or impulse to judge another. But that stage is
reached with a little effort and by Grace. You see the other person, you
have compassion without "reason". But still further, that is still higher,
is when you no longer perceive the other person as the 'other'. It is then
that you perceive only that oneness with all
beings and that is
DIVINE LIGHT that dawns then.
When you practice
the Fivefold Path you follow Shree Gajanan Maharaj, His
teachings, His word.
We are only instruments in His Hands. All Love. IT IS NOT
ONLY A JOB BUT A
LIFESTYLE AS WELL.
Above all in life
have no fear, no judgment. This puts to rest the action/reaction
continuous wheel
of karma. There is no 'yes', no 'no'. No matter of opinion. IT
ONLY IS. Rise above
these likes and dislikes.
Never fear. Fear is
the greatest of all enemies. Always fear battles with the LIGHT.
They cannot coexist
in harmony. Therefore, one has to go. More and more time
spent in meditation
will yield a joyous soul and no more fear will prevail.
Whatever be your lot
in life, be humble. The soul is full of love. Ego resists this
Divine Love. It is
a process of surrender from deep within you. Let go. Let go. The Divine
will catch you.
In this world it is
often feast or famine. Have no fear. There will be no famine
here.
Feeble attempt at
practice of any spiritual disciplines will result in equally feeble
results in return.
Therefore put all the mind to discipline of body when adhering to
spiritual disciplines
which you choose. Begin with 5 A.M. Mantras and observe all timings from
that time. Keep the body clean and good health will follow. If the body
is 'out of sorts' the mind is at the root of this physical disturbance.
Therefore, cleanse the mind. Utilize the tool of Mantra. By uttering the
Mantra you are bringing nearer and
nearer your own liberation.
Specific areas will be harder hit where other areas will be safe for the time.
In Eastern Europe
will be heavy rains. However, at the new place OASIS in Poland
which is built with
HOMA energies (actually it is an ancient place of YAJNYA being revived)
there will be no flooding, although in the nearby area it will be an
emergency situation.
Ukraine will be devastated.
In Bylorus also there will be devastation. (These two
areas were highly
affected by the Chernobyl nuclear accident.) Also there will be
devastation due to
violence.
Israel will have more problems. Murder, massacres.
Volcano erupts leaving thousands dead and whole town evacuated.
THE RISE OF THE SEVEN SEAS. The fall of mountains into the seas.
Disease. Famine. Floods and severe drought. This is only the beginning.
PRACTICE AGNIHOTRA
HOMA TO HARMONIZE THE ENERGY CYCLE OF THE
PLANET. THIS
WILL HELP REDUCE THE FORCE OF DESTRUCTION. PRACTICE
OF AGNIHOTRA HOMA
CREATES A RING OF PROTECTION AROUND YOU.
It is not only a matter
of women learning to express themselves. It is not a “fight
for your rights”.
It is much deeper than that. Women can rise higher spiritually
much more quickly
than men. It is more inherent in the nature of woman. Thus
women can give nurturing
more easily than men. It is not a mistake. Women are the bearers
of children. So, from the spiritual standpoint, woman’s strength
lies in the spiritual realm.
Emotions are the blockage.
All these emotions can be transformed into the
spiritual.
We do not say not to experience them. Feelings, intuitive guidance
is
another thing, not
emotion; hence the expression, “Follow what you feel.” It is
not emotion but intuition
which, directed, leads to spiritual realization. It is
emotions which drag
down body and mind. For the control of emotions (not
suppression), for
taming the wild tiger, BREATH MEDITATION IS EXCELLENT.
People are tired of luxury hotels with their
beaches packed with people, and at the
end of their vacation they come back home
feeling more stressed and without any
energy in their bodies and minds.
People are realizing more and more the need
for physical and mental relaxation.
One can get this more easily through contact
with nature in a pure and non-polluted
atmosphere and eating fresh food like
legumes, vegetables cultivated without
chemical products, etc. Due to this
necessity we are establishing places such
as this Homa farm.
The Homas (healing fires) prepare and create
a conducive atmosphere for subtle
healing energies. Nowadays we know
that in the highest elevations of the
Himalaya and Andes mountains there is pollution,
too.
People are looking for places to get in
contact with Nature, but cannot find places
with pure atmosphere. These Homa
Farms are the exceptions, offering an
atmosphere full of harmony and love, which
is one of the feedback effects from
the plants to the human being. Those
Homa farms will be like Noah’s Ark in this
world so polluted, and for this reason
they will be perfect for future eco-tourism,
being like health motels.
The above lines were the introduction of
a speech my husband Ricardo and I gave
to seventeen students and their teacher
Paco from a school of eco-tourism in
Algodonales that is subsidized by the Andalusian
government. They wanted to
know what we were doing and the differences
between ours and other eco-
tourism projects.
Gary and Tracy, a British couple who are
ecological farmers and also teachers of
Homa farming, were giving an introduction
on how to cultivate four times more
food in a small area with Homa farming
and double digging with the bio-intensive
system. We showed them the building
made of organic materials, and the future
construction plans like huts, therapy rooms
with steam baths and medicinal herbs,
multi-purpose room for Yoga and meditation,
room to teach Homa farming and
Homa Therapy.
We started the project on the twentieth
of November, 1997 and the project ended
on the thirtieth of March, 1998.
Maria Cecilia and I began the project; Juan and
Eduardo joined us a few weeks later and
Roger arrived in the beginning of
January. That was four months and
ten days in which we could watch the
marvelous changes happening on this plantain
farm that had been overloaded
with chemicals from above by helicopter
against Sigatoka Negra and nematodes
and from below with herbicides and chemical
fertilizers. Again the Homa Therapy
Agricultural Techniques (H.T.A.T.) proved
to be the only effective non-chemical
control against Sigatoka Negra. As
the owner Jesus Urdaneta-Urdaneta stated after
four months of practicing Homa Therapy,
“We have not applied any chemicals
against the Sigatoka Negra or any other
disease; we have not given any fertilizer,
chemical or organic; we hardly had any
rain, and look at the results: lush green
plants full of activity, many new strong,
healthy shoots, the harvest has gone up,
the fruits are more tasty and much sweeter.
What can I say? Since we haven’t
done anything to the plantation to introduce
this change but the Homa Therapy, I
must say the Homa Therapy shows its effects.
It’s nothing but the effects of the
Homa Therapy which I can witness here.”
To be more specific about the harvested
amount, when we started the project, the
harvest of all the twenty hectares together
was twenty-five pesadas (one pesada
equaling 300 kilograms, in this case).
The harvest when we left was eighty
pesadas for the twenty hectares.
What else needs to be said? The forestry
engineer supervising the documentation
talks about a revolution in the
conventional practice of agriculture.
Phenomena occur with the application of
Homa Therapy which have never been witnessed
before and were never thought
possible. For example, in Homa Therapy,
the plants producing healthy, strong
and heavy fruits do not need the
eight or ten leaves considered essential to
produce an good harvest; the plant will
do with less, maybe only five or six leaves
to produce the same or better results.
The workers commented about their individual
observations on the same facts.
Before Homa Therapy started they could
carry three bunches on their shoulders to
the packing station, but now they were
hardly able to carry two bunches. The
weight of the plantains has increased tremendously
without the normally
necessary rain, which induces this change,
too. A young worker told us that he
had had severe weight loss problems during
the time they were using chemicals;
now he is proud to say that he had gained
weight and still is gaining more and that
he feels healthy and strong. When
the workers get hungry out there in the
plantain jungle, they now go and pick a
ripe plantain to eat and it’s tasty. Before,
they never did that; the taste just
wasn’t inviting. Of course the neighbors made
their remarks about the visible improvement
of the farm, too. A young man
stating that at his father’s and a company’s
farm, where they are applying
chemicals every twenty-five days (and are
paying a lot for this contamination
service) the Sigatoka Negra is not controlled
to the extent it is with the Homa
Therapy agricultural techniques.
He also reported that some of their cows, which
have their pasture on the same side of
the farm as the plantain fields, have gotten
an incurable disease. The veterinarian
doesn’t know what it is and can’t help.
The cows eat and eat, but they get thinner
and thinner and eventually die after a
few weeks.
Of course, we worked with the ten pyramid
resonance system. Since we had
quite a lot of people (we sometimes had
many visitors, mainly from Caracas)
Agnihotra was not only done in the main
hut, but also in the resonance pyramids
on the north, south, east and west corners
of the farm as well as other places
within the twenty hectare area, as well
as twenty-four hour Om Tryambakam fires
on new moon and full moon days. Each
person staying on the farm did two hours
of Om Tryambakam Homa daily, which added
up quite nicely. Over Christmas
and New Years we had a seven-day fire burning
nonstop. Additionally, for a few
weeks the plants were exposed to tapes
of the Samavedas, chantings which are
especially helpful to enhance the strength,
growth and well-being of plants. We
made Agnihotra ash solutions in big barrels
and applied them to the areas which
were showing more infection with Sigatoka
Negra. Ash was also put into the
irrigation canals. Shree Vasant’s
visits were wonderful and always left us with lots
of enthusiasm and energy for the work we
were doing.
Jesus’s farm had included a restaurant,
but that was shut down a few years ago.
This setup was for us a gift of God, to
have all this space and all the things
available, ready to use. Now, since
especially on holidays people were coming, we
took the chance to teach them in practice
raised bed farming and the preparation
of compost piles. Classes were given
on how to treat the seeds with the Homa
Therapy method, on companion planting with
vegetables and herbs, and on
lumbriculture (cultivating earthworms).
We really lived an ashramic life. The
whole day was structured with meditations,
mantras, classes, sevas (work being
done in the honor and service of God),
cleaning, cooking, preparing cow dung
patties, gardening, washing laundry, but
there was also time to relax, to read, to
make music, sing devotional songs and to
enjoy many other things which a life
close to nature brings. After a few
weeks, when the energy on the farm had
changed noticeably, we all went through
personal learning experiences and many
personal changes. Roger, who in his
whole life didn’t write more than three
letters, started pouring out beautiful
poems. Eduardo, a musician, composed
wonderful music and also lyrics.
Juan had some very clear revelation dreams. For
me the meditations brought profound insights.
It’s been a beautiful gift for all of
us to share so many precious moments together.
We had the opportunity to introduce Homa
Therapy to all different kinds of
people, like workers, farmers, students,
professors of different universities,
doctors, mayors, city dwellers and people
like you and me. It is incredible how
much Grace is given with the practice of
these fires. One can’t help but notice it in
so many different ways. For me and
for all of us being allowed to be volunteers in
these projects, so many things have changed
for the better for us personally. We
have learned the easy way and we are very,
very thankful for these opportunities.
There is so much more to say or to write.
Every day has its surprises and lessons,
but really, to know it all you have to
come and do this work yourself for some
time.
As time went by, I began to appreciate and
value the substance called dried
cowdung. (Singing Mantras all through
the process is a big help.) There might be
people who are amazed by my philosophy
about cowdung.
In our latitude (Southern Germany) drying
dung under the sun is possible during
four months only, from May till August.
The sun makes a fast evaporation of the
moisture.
During these years, I have observed a lot
of positive things about my physical
health. Since I’ve been working with
cowdung, I’ve realized that I have more
energy.
One summer in the country I had a very good
experience with the cows. The
cows looked for my contact. They
smelled me, and they breathed on me. They
tried to find out who they were with.
Their breath smelled good and my bronchial
tubes and lungs felt relaxed. I have
had those experiences several times.
As time goes by, one knows the quality of
fresh cowdung from its color, smell and
consistency, and one also knows the cow
fodder. Dried cowdung in good
condition has a nice smell of hay and herbs.
It is said that the dung of a cow that has
already had a calf is better than the dung
of a calf, but if there is no other possibility,
this dung may be used for Yajnyas.
Organic fodder is much better for the cows.
To keep the cows in good health, it is very
good to add Agnihotra ash to their food,
and even better to do Agnihotra close to
them.
When one understands that practicing Agnihotra
helps us to feel the increasing
cosmic radiation which is love, we are
only able to thank the Creator with all our
humility.

drying, they may write or phone me

The eternal principles
of religion denoted by these five words, YAJNYA, DAAN,
TAPA, KARMA and SWADHYAYA
is the Fivefold Path. This is the basis of the
teachings of all
prophets, all Avatars, all saints, all Gurus.
Either due to nonperformance
or wrong performance of ordained duties, resultant
Karma accumulates
and society falls into wrong ways. Then Almighty Father
sends messengers,
prophets to stop the evil and practice the right thing for the
times in which these
messengers come. They reiterate various aspects of Fivefold
Path in words suited
to the times and the social conditions in which they appear
on Earth. Thus
came Krishna, Buddha, Zarathushtra, Abraham, Moses, Jesus,
Mohammad and others.
They do not come to start a new religion. People who
come after them form
sects and divisions due to ignorance or vested interest. The
Messengers fulfill
their allotted task and leave.
“Mankind were one
community and Allah sent (unto them) Prophets as bearers of
good tidings and
as warners and revealed therewith the Scripture with truth.” Holy
Koran
“Think not that I
have come to destroy the Law or the prophets. I am not come to
destroy, but to fulfill.”
Matthew 5:17.

Purport:
“Satya” means truth.
Here the word refers to all messengers, prophets,
paigambars who appeared
on various parts of the Earth, at various times to
reiterate the Vedic
message of Fivefold Path, e.g. Krishna, Buddha, Zarathushtra,
Abraham, Moses, Jesus,
Mohammad and others. I bow to and take refuge
(surrender) in all
these prophets.
I bow to and take
refuge in the eternal principles prescribed by all messengers and
prophets. (They
all come to reiterate the Eternal Religion and that is the way to
self-realization
leading to, “I and my Father are one.”)
I bow and take refuge
among people where these eternal principles are practiced.
(DHARMA etymologically
means “that which holds the Universe together.”) Love
is that bond.
Practice of AGNIHOTRA,
the basic Yajnya, injects nutrients into the atmosphere
and makes minds full
of love.
If, at a place where
Agnihotra is regularly practiced and where some simple
HOMAS (healing fires)
are done we sing the above Mantra it has a beneficial effect
on the front portion
of the brain, according to the now nearly lost science of
AYURVEDA, i.e. science
of medicine. After Vyahruti Homa this Mantra should be
sung.

please refer to the books Homa Therapy, Our Last Chance
and Light Towards
Divine Path.)
