Dr. R.K. Pathak reports from India:
The four day training on various aspects of Homa Jaivik Krishi (Homa Organic Farming) was organized at Manas Rural Development Farm at Sajiwali, Thane, Maharashtra, India by Manas Rural Development Institute from 10th to 13th November, 2010. All the participants were from India, except one from Malaysia.
On September 20th, 2010, Dr Ulrich Berk from Germany installed a resonance point at “La Casa del Sol” Center in Andahuaylillas, a small village located 35 km outside the city of Cusco. Here we are performing Homa fires daily and on full moon days we are doing 24 hours of Om Tryambakam.
We want to share these photos of two Agnihotra gatherings with you.
One shows Agnihotra practice in front of the ocean with a dedicated Homa group.

On the material plane all is confusion, all disillusion, all illusion. Once you rise higher there are no separations. What you are experiencing at present is very difficult for you to assimilate while attending to material matters. |

We hosted another Agnihotra gathering on 26 September at Woodham near Woking in Surrey. We meet regularly around the solstices and equinoxes in my small Agni Shala in the garden where I do Agnihotra.

One has to develop in life goals for oneself. You can have short -term and long-term goals. Then it is good to keep these goals in mind when making decisions in life. Your goals are your choice. But it is important to examine them and perhaps to outline a plan for achieving them. Always keep in mind that there are more choices available to you than appear at any given time. Keep good company. |

The River Narmada is the most important river of the state of Madhya Pradesh. The Narmada basin lies between longitude East 72º32’ to 81º45’ and the latitude North 21º20’ to 28º45’. It is the only non snow fed perennial river in India. Narmada River water is mainly used for irrigation, drinking, fishery, generation of electricity and domestic purposes.
Some physical-chemical parameters were studied to determine the quality of its water. Pollution is the biggest problem nowadays, it affects the atmosphere, soil and our water resources. This experiment demonstrates the effect of Homa Therapy – based on the ancient science of Vedas which offers solutions to reduce the pollution in our environment and of the water resources.
These are some preliminary studies about the efficacy of the Homa method, comparing the river water in 4 different sampling sites (S1 – S4) of the Narmada river region. Water samples were collected on monthly intervals in clean polythene containers and preserved according to standard method (APHA 2002) and brought to the laboratory for various physical-chemical analysis.
S1: Omkareshwar – is a famous place of pilgrimage, situated 77 km from the city Indore, Khandwa District.
(DMS) Latitude 22º15’01” N and Longitude 76º08’48” E.
S2: Mandaleshwar – is a small town in Khargone District. It is a town of historical and religious importance situated on the banks of the Narmada River. It is at a distance of 99 km from Indore.
(DMS) Latitude 22º11’00” N and Longitude 75º00’00” E.
S3: Maheshwar – is a small town in Khargone District. It is 91 km from Indore and is the commercial capital of the state. This sampling site is located near HOMA THERAPY CENTER (GOSHALA) see photo above.
(DMS) Latitude 22º11’00” N and Longitude 75º55’00” E.
