Ecovillage Bhrugu Aranya Update

Parvati Rosen-Bizberg

Fundacja Terapia Homa in Poland is our 32-year-old eco-educational NGO. Under its auspices,
Ecovillage Bhrugu Aranya began in 1995, co-founded by Jaroslaw and Parvati (Rosen) Bizberg in the hills of southern Poland.

It was created under the guidance of Shree Vasant Paranjpe. It is meant to be a type of
blueprint for Homa farm communities and a place where we can show how Homa Organic farming works. It is also one of the three Points of Light, along with Maheshwar, India and Elqui Valley, Chile. We say it is a place where ecology meets spirituality.

Our ecovillage now is 15 adults and children, ranging in ages, cultures, country origins and skills. We are an eclectic group of artists, writers, musicians, therapists, gardeners, ecologists and natural builders. A range of languages are spoken here, including English, Polish, Spanish, German, Czech and Slovakian; some French and Hebrew as well.

We welcome visitors as well as volunteers from around the world. All the Homa fires are
performed here, including the basic morning and evening Agnihotra, 5 hours of Om Tryambakam Yajnya daily, 12:00 noon Vyahruti Homa with healing circle, 24-hour Yajnyas on full and new moon. Additional Homas are also performed on special days. We hold Satsangs every Sunday at noon, women’s circles every Thursday, and often gather for celebrations, including many birthdays, Christmas season, etc.

This year, 2024, summer was a very active time with many visits from new people seeking to learn and practice Agnihotra and to participate in life in a Homa ecovillage. We were joyous to receive visits from our worldwide Homa family—South America, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Australia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, and US.

Here are a few wonderful snapshots of our summer and early autumn events.

Wonderful volunteers and guests form Chile, Peru, France and Poland.

On May 17th, 2024 we marked  Shree Gajanan Maharaj’s birthday with a Rudra Yajnya in our healing temple.

Dennis and Gillian
Centre of Light

In May and September, our dear Homa friends, Dennis and Gillian of “Om Shree Homa & Mantra” band, came from Holland to do a series of Mantra concerts as fundraisers to benefit the continued work on Centre of Light. Our Homa Therapy Foundation Poland sponsored the events held in the arts room of Centre of Light.

The concerts were wonderful, inspirational and lively! Agnihotra was performed with all during the concerts.

 


A Waldorf School visited our ecovillage. The children joined in Homa gardening, sat for Agnihotra, drew Mandalas and sang. They love all our happy Homa animals!

 

Memories from Baltimore Homa Community

Maria Broom

The Baltimore Homa Community is one of the oldest, longest-lasting Homa Fire families on the planet.

Back in the seventies, on a small farm in Randallstown, Maryland, we gathered for Satsang and performed Om Tryambakam Yajnya 24 hours a day for 17 years. Some members have left the planet, but we carry their energy with us always. This photo was taken around 1989.
Also on that property was the very first ever Agnihotra Press print shop in Baltimore, Maryland. The business helped support Shree Vasant’s travels, and printed Agnihotra and Fivefold Path literature. It was an important instrument for spreading Agnihotra/Fivefold Path/Homa Therapy around the world.

Homa Therapy Experiences

Seth Theodore Butcher

I am an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (AMBACP), an integrative Psychotherapist (Psychodynamic & person centred Approach), Energy Psychology practitioner, practitioner of Shamanism. I am a Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy teacher and trainer with over 10 years experience working in agencies and private practice specializing in sexual offenses, porn addiction, anxiety and depression.

I hit a stage of burnout in my career due to the high volume of complex cases I was seeing and I made an internal cry for help. Then an old, dear friend I had not seen for 12 years suddenly contacted me out of the blue and introduced me to Agnihotra and Homa Therapy.

I cannot put into words how much Agnihotra and Homa Therapy have changed my life. I have now been practicing every sunrise and sunset for 5 months, taking the Agnihotra ash twice daily. This ancient Vedic practice, when done correctly with the right intention, is extremely powerful. Everything has changed in my life. My intuition is far stronger, my ability to interpret my clients’ unconscious material is off the charts.

Synchronicities and coincidences are happening, daily, realizations are increasing. My clients, family, loved ones and I are healing and feeling more positive and full of love at a rapid rate that just cannot be explained.

Everyone and everything seems to be in complete flow. I am meeting new, interesting people and doors are opening in places I could have never even imagined or contemplated before. Everything seems lighter, more in tune and vibrant.

I feel happy to be alive and to be at service to others. I have overcome all my fears and faced my shadow and embraced it. Homa Therapy has helped me to integrate all splintered aspects of myself into my psyche and it has done exactly the same with my clients.

Homa Therapy has fitted seamlessly with my client work, as it is completely non-sectarian, easy to practice and, most importantly, can be learnt and practiced by clients themselves so they do not have to rely on me, the therapist.

My life partner Jenny was the biggest skeptic and she hated the smoke. She was allergic to butter and did not understand what I was doing. After 4 months she saw the benefits in myself and now practices on her own and has also seen tremendous benefits and changes in her life,  especially regarding stress.

When I practice Homa Therapy regularly, positive things just start to happen. I have never been a believer in God or divine presence, coming from an atheist family. I now know that Divine Grace is everywhere and nowhere at the same time; this has been proven to me time and time again.

I have trained in a wide range of different disciplines, modalities and approaches over my career and life, and with my hand on my heart, I can say that Agnihotra and Homa Therapy is hands down the most effective method I have ever used, with unbelievably rapid results which cannot be explained in mere words, for me, my clients, my family and friends and even my pets. I would highly recommend it to anyone, whether you are spiritual or not, religious or non-religious; it seems to work either way.

The love and gratitude I now feel for life in general is unprecedented. Thank you to all who kept the flames of this amazing practice burning so it can continue to help countless beings.

Warm hellos from the UK.

I’m really enjoying the Agnihotra practice and healing myself, my family, the animals, the trees and plants all around. It’s amazing.

My cat and dog sense everything and they love to sit by me and the healing fire.

From Shree Vasant’s Teachings

Thy Will Be Done
All of us are being taught all the time. The more lessons we are taught, the more opportunity there is for growth.

Never think of yourself as important. As we move all over the world and teach others everywhere, we have to always remember we are but instruments of Divine command. So self-importance is something to watch.

Does the ego become stronger or does it get channeled into service? We know that the ego is actually strengthened and becomes puffed up. For a while the person feels better, performs better, but ego alone cannot lead one to happiness. In HOMA therapy program we check the ego. Object is surrender to Divine Will. So ego is reduced and it is, “Thy Will be done.”

Agnihotra and Radiation
When Agnihotra is performed, the Agnihotra smoke gathers particles of harmful radiation in the atmosphere and on a very subtle level NEUTRALIZES THEIR RADIOACTIVE EFFECT.

Nothing is destroyed, merely changed.

Agnihotra and Protection
Agnihotra has such a profound effect on all living beings, plants, animals, people. Children born into Agnihotra atmosphere will develop a shield of protection surrounding them.

A veil of light surrounds each HOMA home. All protection surrounds all of you where HOMA healing fires are practiced regularly. Agnihotra, tuned to the biorhythm of sunrise/sunset, is the basic HOMA to harmonize the energy cycle of the planet. Let there be no suffering. ALL THE LIGHT MUST SPREAD NOW.

A great world awaits us. Let us prepare for the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Let us prepare the children for what lies ahead. For after a period of devastation comes a world beautiful.

Many houses will crumble. Nations will fall. All power being given now. HEAL THE PLANET. YAJNYA (HOMA) THE SCIENCE OF PURIFICATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE. HEAL THE PLANET WITH VIBRATIONS OF LOVE.

Fivefold Path for Happy Living

1. Yajnya
HOMA Therapy is the science of purification of the atmosphere through the agency of FIRE. AGNIHOTRA HOMA (YAJNYA) is the basic HOMA. It is tuned to the biorhythm of sunrise/sunset and gives nutrients to the plant kingdom, removes diseases in a certain area and removes tension on the mind. This is the basic process in the Vedic sciences of medicine, agriculture, climate engineering and interplanetary communication.
2. Daan
Sharing of your assets in a spirit of humility. This corrects imbalance in financial matters and creates non-attachment to worldly possessions.
3. Tapa
Self-discipline of body and mind. This is conducive to a change in attitudes of mind and body. It results in a harmonious state of mind.
4. Karma
“You reap as you sow.” Always practicing good Karma (actions) diminishes the burden of negative Karma and one begins to invest in his own future. This means that what you do today will bring its fruits. Sowing seeds of love and kindness will bless my garden with plenty of love. Do Karma for self-purification.
5. Swadhyaya
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.
