Fire Connects to Other Planets
Vasant

On November 1, 2001 Vasant was in Puno,  Peru, a city on the banks of the Lake Titikaka. This lake is  the highest altitude lake on Earth, dividing Peru and Bolivia. A Rudra Yajnya lasting three hours was performed with Mantras on a hilltop. This was done facing the ancient temple of the sun far away in Lake Titikaka.
Vasant  told the people  who had gathered the following:


“These ancient fires which were done here were not public. A sacred group of people were the ones who performed the fire rituals, but these fires were known but not practiced or attended by the public. Even in the books on the subject of ancient rituals in Peru you will not find all the information because much of what was known was kept out  of the public. Still  we should dig for information.

“All over Peru these fires were done. Not only in south or north but many sacred sites were there. REACTIVATING ANCIENT CAVES AND PLACES  OF FIRE CONNECTS TO OTHER PLANETS NOW AS IT WAS THEN. Interplanetary connections are not new. The places of  fire were in connection with other planets in ancient times. ‘Connection’ was cut in many places but now it is time to reactivate the sites because our planet is being helped in its evolution by other planets.“


Now We Must Heal
Vasant
September 4, 2002
Nowhere in the world you find harmony now. The world is in the midst of crime and disaster. The situation is more serious than we think. The call of violence is everywhere. The clock is running fast. We do not want the people to suffer. We must stop this hatred and violence.

The Earth is trembling. You will see suffering and misery all around you. NOW WE MUST HEAL. There is no time even for analysis. The world is on the threshold of extreme destruction. Acid rain, ozone holes, radioactivity in soil and air, chemical and nuclear waste dumps, large areas in drought and famine, several others under floods, no really potable water to drink, new diseases in plants, animals and humans, old diseases in new forms, spoilage of soil, water and air due to agrochemicals, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, threat of nuclear accidents in space and also in oceangoing vehicles, animal species disappearing, forests cover of planet getting destroyed, extreme changes in temperature due to climate change, melting of icebergs threatening the future of world coastal areas. All this is a sad picture.

All these days scientists used to say, “I will certainly find some solution.” Now the scientists say, “There is no solution.” However, we do know there is a solution if we take to scientific way of leading our life in harmony with rhythms of nature.
HOMA THERAPY should go to the scientists now. First thing we should concentrate upon is HOMA FARMING, i.e. growing our food by Homa process where no agrochemicals are needed. Organic farmers now find great difficulty due to all types of hybrid pollution. With Homa farming you can grow larger quantity of food per hectare with superior taste, texture, color, disease resistance, shorter time for harvest and longer shelf life. The cost of production per hectare is substantially reduced.

The Department of the Presidency of the Republic of Peru has prepared several reports on all crops with short and long vegetative cycle, fruits, legumes, vegetables, cocoa, coffee, bananas, etc., grown with HOMA THERAPY. They have prepared documentation and technical reports describing the success achieved with HOMA THERAPY on small as well as large scale areas involved.

The world will be saved by Higher Will. How?
Scientists will spread HOMA THERAPY and become instruments of Divine Will to heal the planet with HOMA THERAPY of which AGNIHOTRA copper pyramid fire tuned to the biorhythm of sunrise/sunset is the basic process; while this is being done, LOVE RISES AS A SOUND CURRENT TO HEAL THE PLANET. You heal the atmosphere and the healed atmosphere will heal you. SCIENCE PAVES THE WAY TO KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

Self Development
Vasant
August 17, 2002, Caracas, Venezuela

The only way for survival will be living off one’s own land and that will have to thrive on HOMA atmosphere. We must be direct and blunt at this point in time, as there is so little time remaining.

Now the emphasis is on healing. The atmosphere of Homa is what brings one’s gifts to the foreground.  The fire cleans away our cobwebs of doubt and ego which can spoil a healthy spirit. We know this. We have seen it many times. In Homa atmosphere those tendencies become less. At first or for sometime they may seem to accelerate and the person may even seem to have more ego but this is only a passing phase. Continue doing the fires and see the changes that come naturally.

We must tell you now that effort MUST BE MADE in the area of self development in order now to evolve from this point. This is for all. There is no exception. It is the fifth aspect of the Fivefold Path. It is Swadhyaya, Self study.

Self study does not mean self analysis. What can a person accomplish from constantly examining himself with a critical eye? He can simply go in a cycle of blame and shame which will net him nothing in the end. Through careful self study, accomplished by observing the human mind and how it affects our moods, our ideas, our well being, one can begin to see where one needs to improve oneself without blame or shame.

We are aware that there are no perfect human beings save those who are fully evolved beings and those are rare indeed. Therefore, if there are no perfect human beings, for all intents and purposes then it follows that self improvement is necessary in order to evolve.

If one keeps an eagle eye on one’s own behaviour and remains open to suggestions from others who are sincere in their efforts to help,  then one can evolve past even the toughest of faults in character. If all time is spent defending oneself against what appears to be criticism of others on behaviour which is found to be offensive to others,  then the effort is lost.

If an humble man is told that suggestion to improve himself, whether or not that suggestion is valid, he is thankful for the opportunity to use it in order to look within, improve his character and become a better instrument of the Divine. This, then, is best outlook to take.

Agnihotra Healing Fires Move Through Poland
Parvati Bizberg, Wysoka, Poland

With the intensity of karma being played out all over the world, the search for Light and harmony is real and most vital now. It is no longer enough to be entertained and mildly attentive to what one’s role in life really is. People here really seem to be searching for what is real, grounding and healing. Lately, here in Poland, we have been experiencing a surge of interest in Agnihotra. Many people have tried different methods of healing that have come from the west and in a lot of cases have found them to be not as effective as Agnihotra for cleansing the atmosphere and improving health. Either that, or they find Agnihotra actually strengthens the use of any other healing tool. So, we have been receiving phone calls, letters and emails requesting Agnihotra supplies and invitations to different towns. It’s been wonderful to be able to move again through Poland.

When Shree Vasant was here in May, we had travelled to Warsaw and Pulawy, where public talks were given. In Warsaw, we met people who had started Agnihotra many years ago when Shree Vasant was first in Poland, travelling with Dr. Ulrich Berk. This time again it was Shree Vasant and Ulrich with Jarek, Jacob and me. It was a surprise reunion for the old Agnihotris. As well, of course there were many new people eager to start the fire.

From Warsaw we travelled east to Pulawy, where a large group of people had already been doing Agnihotra. When Shree sang the Mantras at sunset during the talk, the whole group chanted along. Until that moment we hadn’t realized how many people really were practicing Agnihotra, as they were multiplying so quickly in this town! Magdalena, a teacher at the university there was our host. She had been instrumental in introducing Agnihotra to such a great group.

Following Shree Vasant’s talk, Jarek and I stayed a day longer to give individual healings to the people. The people in east of Poland have suffered more economically and I think health-wise as well. Still, they were so gracious and open, so willing to see where they needed to work on themselves and very open to the fires. One woman, with two teenage sons with typical youth drug and alcohol problems, came to ask for her son to have a healing with us. I told her that her son should call himself, which he did. He had a very nice healing and afterward talked for some time to my 23-year-old son, Jacob. Some weeks later, his mother called to thank us, as her son had really changed a lot, was more at peace and calm, sitting for the fires and was now attending classes at school and doing well in them.

In July, Jarek and I went to Lublin for the purpose of holding a meeting with new people interested in starting Agnihotra. Lublin is a very old town in the east of Poland. Despite the fact that it was holiday period, many people came. Also Jarek met with the volunteers in Lublin who are willing to go further to the east where there are poor farmers who are in need of agricultural assistance and teach them Homa Farming techniques. We gave many healings in Ela’s house. One couple offered and are translating the HBO video on Homa Therapy. People were warm and again, very open.

I see many people with really strong problems, such as volatile marriages with alcoholic partners, various illnesses and emotional blockages. Over and over we hear a lot of the same problems. To do healings opens up new possibilities for solutions and to teach them Agnihotra is like handing them a tool which we know works, which we know can help move them past blockages and assist them in facing their life issues. So, it is humbling in one way and the people are so grateful for the fire. They all respond to it. You can see people who come from deeply stressful situations relax and breathe sighs of relief.

We have had a very busy month of July, which culminated in Shree Vasant’s visit here on 31st July. We have been outside more than in. Jarek and I just returned with Karin from a five-day tour of two cities in northwest Poland. It was wonderful at the first town, Leszno, where we stayed with our organizer there, who was very enthusiastic. She and her husband who is a medical doctour both bought their own pyramids to begin Agnihotra. The first night there I could not sleep. I didn’t know why, but after three hours I finally fell asleep and slept restlessly. The next morning when I mentioned it, Bozena told me that the headquarters for Gestapo during World War II was located right across the street from her. That was where they tortured their victims and then buried the bodies in the exact place where her postwar house now stands! Aha, I thought, no sleep here! Then, that day we did morning and evening Agnihotra, as well as many hours of Yajnya during which the healings were given. That night I slept like a baby! Even I was surprised at how quickly the fires changed the energy in the atmosphere.

Jarek gave a talk to a lively group of people who assembled in the doctour’s office located in their home. About six people started Agnihotra. The next day, when we arrived in Poznan, our next city, we received a call from Bozena again, asking if we could please bring six more Agnihotra kits on the way back through Leszno, as overnight she had more requests for pyramids and supplies. In Poznan, we met some amazing people who work with street children. They have started their own foundation and use drama, arts and music with these children who have been mostly abandoned. We gave many healings and a good meeting was held in the country where a lot of younger people attended. There, a lot of them began Agnihotra and Karin stayed overnight at their house to do the fire in the early morning with them. We didn’t expect anyone would be awake, but the whole group joined her for sunrise!

On our way back home from Poznan, the train stopped for two minutes in Leszno during which time Jarek hastily passed six more Agnihotra kits from the train door to Bozena and received Bozena’s sweet offering of fresh rolls and other goodies for breakfast! People can be so thoughtful.

We returned home and the next day picked up Shree Vasant at the airport in Krakow. David Sawyer from U.S., Reiner and Manu from Austria, Ulrich Berk from Germany and soon, Monika Koch from Germany are here visiting. We have been planning more Homa Therapy projects, a tour of all Poland and this week meet with Jadwiga Loplata, the prize-winning ecologist/activist in Poland. Her organization is called Save the Polish Countryside.

As well as spreading the teachings of this wondrously healing fire, we are developing with Jacob a youth program that offers alternatives to today’s young people who are searching for answers and direction in life. We are all in the process of developing, of facing ourselves and making important life changes. In a world full of violent uprisings, stress and imbalance, we are striving to bring our lives into harmony and balance. This may be the only way we can affect a change on a global level. If each heart begins to turn toward the Light, we can surely move toward peace and harmony on our planet Earth. With the healing fire of Agnihotra, we can join together to spread the Light, from flame to flame.

Trip to Russia        Dr. Ulrich Berk
Russia trip
Benedict from Moldova had informed me about a conference of the Anastasia organization in Geledjik/South of Russia (at the Black Sea).

Anastasia is a woman who lives in Siberia in the forest far away from all civilization. Even in winter she lives in natural caves and she just eats what nature offers her. There are books available now on her life and her mission, written by Wladimir Megre, who met her few times over there. Anastasia mentions the big changes which are going to come. She strongly suggests to change totally today’s life-style – moving out of the big cities, every family should get one or two hectars of own land, build some house from natural materials, grow their own food and become self-sufficient (in collaboration with the neighbours).

All this sounded very familiar so I decided to go  to this conference. Benedict and his family also came and we met in Gelendjik on Sept. 27, the first day of the conference.

More than 500 people had come to the conference, from all the different parts of Russia and Russian speaking countries. In the afternoon I got the chance to talk about Homa Therapy. I started to  emphasize that we share so many ideas with the people of Anastasia organization.

Vision of Anastasia is fine – but even if today  all population would go for the lifestyle she suggests (which, of course, will not happen – cars will still run tomorrow  and factories will still continue  to send out all different kinds of pollution), even then there is already so much of all different chemicals and poisons  in the atmosphere to destroy whole nature. (the natural disasters of this summer made the disorder of nature obvious to everybody – floods in many countries of Europe, in Russia, Asia etc.)

So we have to do something in order to purify our planet on all the different levels – atmosphere, soil, water resources in order to neutralize the effects of pollution. 

People were listening very carefully – they realized that our message is an ideal tool to help them make their own vision come true.

Of course they wanted to see Agnihotra. But, alas, in the lecture hall it was not possible (as this was a theater and open fire was absolutely forbidden). So the only possible time was Agnihotra next morning.

When we went there before seven o’clock I told Benedict that I did not expect people to come – so early (the beginning of the conference was 9 a.m.) and these people do not have cars, they have to walk for twenty or thirty minutes and more.

But when we arrived at the place there was already a group of people waiting. And before I started to prepare the fire a lot more  came – altogether it was a group of maybe sixty people who came especially to see their first Agnihotra.

Of course, after that many people bought the book – Homa Therapy Our Last Chance which has been printed in Russian language  two years ago. And pyramids – so in the end I did not have enough pyramids for everybody who wanted one. This was really sad. (In planes they allow only 20 kg. I brought 60 pyramids to Russia, half for Moscow area, half for Gelendjik. 60 pyramids only possible if you put half in your hand luggage and if they do not check the weight of your  hand luggage.)

So I even gave the pyramid which I used to one lady from Kazachztan. I  asked her to come on my last day in Gtelendjik for morning Agnihotra. Again she had to walk more than one hour to get to one guest house. But she told us that normally because of arthritis walking was a big problem for her. But now just after attending three times Agnihotra and taking little Agnihotra  ash it had become much better!

From Gelendjik I went back to Moscow where I met with the old friends from Whole World Organization whom I had met during the summer camp. We did Agnihotra together and I gave a small talk. Also some new people had come and  wanted pyramids (in Moscow I still had some).

Also  we talked about the problem of radioactivity. There was some information that all food is being tested for radioactivity before it is allowed to enter into the Moscow area. We are very much interested in the methods to test radioactivity as the ancient science of the Vedas states that through Agnihotra and Agnihotra ash the effects of radioactivity can be neutralized. But, alas, nobody could find out definite information about the methods being used. So I asked them to inquire again which they promised to do.
Of course, radioactivity will also be a very important subject during my talks in Ukraine by end of this year.
 
From Moscow I went by bus to Wladimir, a small historical town East of Moscow (which even was the Capital of Russia before Moscow took over). One lady from the camp, Marina Duplischeva, was already performing Agnihotra there and she had invited some friends to attend evening Agnihotra and a short lecture. Every family who came took back a pyramid and the Homa Therapy book in Russian. And when I mentioned that we should start producing our own pyramids in Russia one man,  Sergey Bragin, said he knows people from one institute who can produce these pyramids and also they can make the necessary dies first. So this was really good news – no longer  trying to check in with 60 pyramids and a lot of overweight luggage! Next day we visited some old places in Wladimir and Susdal, which was a deep personal experience for me.

Owner of a 3.5 hectare farm, applies Homa Therapy
Healthy and abundant harvest with Homa Therapy   

I am the farmer of Lot Number One of Santa Rosa. I have three and half hectares, almost all lemon trees. We began the Homa Therapy on February of 1999.

My farm was in a bad shape. I was discouraged about working because everything was so bad. I needed to buy lots of insecticides, but our economic situation was so bad that we could not do the necessary fumigations. Just at that time the Homa Therapy arrived and we took advantage of this therapy.

The diseases Acarus, tristeza, fumagina, minador and several other diseases attacked the lemon trees. Right now they are recovering with the Homa Therapy. The lemon fruits have developed a lot. Before they were small, but now they are beautiful and much bigger. The quality and the quantity of the fruits have increased. The fruits that are inside the forty hectares area which is treated with Homa Therapy are developing well; in contrast, the other ones outside the area are small.

The new papaya plants are totally healthy. The diseases virosis and gomosis, which we had before in the papayas and were transferred from generation to generation, are no longer present.

The yucca and the corn have also developed better.

We use a tablespoon of Agnihotra ash in four liters of water and we let it set for three days and then we apply it to the trees as a spray or fumigation. This application heals the sick plants.
Letters to Satsang

I have started introducing Agnihotra to some patients with different ailments, with the aid of the Narmada River sand placed in their rooms and the use of yantrams.

 A man of 62 years, who had his right side of the body paralyzed for two years, walked with the aid of the Yantram. He placed the Yantram under his feet at night.

A lady of 32 years who has had swollen feet for more than 15 years has started showing signs of improvement. This ailment started when she was in college form three. It started from the right leg and has affected the left leg. Orthodox medicine has failed and has given no hope of cure. The smoke from Agnihotra has started reducing the left leg to normal size after using the yantram placed under feet at night.

Agnihotra Ash Medicine in Ecuador

Greetings from Ecuador.  I just thought I would give you an idea of what is happening here.  A few months ago I started to put Agnihotra ash in capsules for the people who had problems with taking it in other ways. This was quite sucessful, and a medical doctor who became enamored with Homa Therapy took some Agnihotra ash to a laboratory and made tablets out of the sifted ash. He took the tablets to the hospital he directs and began to give them to patients who had no diagnosis or treatment. They all got better.

Recently we collected ten kilos of Agni hotra ash and made 50,000 tablets. Some went to Peru with Abel and Aleta and some to the hospital to conduct studies and some are given out at my office. We have daily miracles, as for a few months we have been teaching the fires every day instead of once a week. We were happily surprised by how many people came regularly when we increased access to the fires and their power.

There is a health festival coming up this month and we will start the conferences for the three day event with the morning Agnihotra fires!

Peace, Blessings,

From Vasant’s Correspondence

Do not forget your true purpose, the work for which you have come. Business is normally a means to an end. Focus as well on your self-development. Further your spiritual evolution now. You will be leading others. You have to put your heart into that. BECOME MORE DISCIPLINED.

All people naturally have their weak points or faults. We try to look to their positive qualities to help them evolve. Of course it is
good to see one’s weaknesses but only with the outlook, “How can I improve? How can I become clearer, more efficient? More able to manage my life and be more of SERVICE to others?”  To live in the past and recall past hurts or difficulties will not help at this point. Absolutely you need to be stronger.

How to bring him into clarity and more efficiency in action? While the physical body is always in that weakened state the mind will be able to function only at a percentage of its total capacity. So he has to develop a program, a regime for healthy living. His mind needs to run more efficiently. He accomplishes a great deal, but it is like a car that is running on nearly empty all the time.
Eventually the engine runs down and needs repairs. So better to develop a plan for him.

LEARN EFFICIENCY IN ACTION. You have a goal, an approximate time for completion and then you do that work to achieve that goal. Do not allow yourself to be distracted. Try to be punctual.

EVERY DAY YOU MISS SOMETHING WHEN YOU ARE NOT EFFICIENT WITH TIME. THIS IS VITAL.

It is this self importance that is to be knocked out. That is why we are keeping away.  
Organized religious institutions are losing their flock. We do not speak bad about any religion or religious organization. We say whatever makes you happy in your life, that you follow, but follow diligently and with all your heart.
Never be afraid to follow what is TRUTH for you. BELIEVE your own EXPERIENCE. Do not believe a word we say; only believe what you experience.
Anything which infatuates the ego is not part of spiritual path.

FIVEFOLD PATH for Happy Living

1. Perform AGNIHOTRA for purification of the atmosphere which leads to automatic purification of mind.
2. Practice DAAN (sharing of assets in a spirit of humility to reduce attachment to worldly possessions).
3. Practice TAPA (becoming better managers of our energy expenditure by training the body and mind to react to all circumstances in life with Total Love).
4. Perform KARMA (every action for self purification only and thus no expectations which bind us to the material world).
5. Practice SWADHYAYA (Self-study) for liberation. Who am I? Why am I here? My work on this planet is to learn to react with total LOVE with each opportunity given to me.
This is the Fivefold Path for happy living on the planet. By practicing the Fivefold Path you become better members of your society, group, religion, community, etc.
