Dilip Patil writes from India:
I have so many experiences with Agnihotra and its healing ash. My father was 67 years old when he had an accident while traveling on a motorbike and he broke his leg. The leg was also swollen. He went to several doctors and took medicines for 6 to 7 months. He did not feel any improvement with their treatment. So I told him to perform Agnihotra, take Agnihotra ash orally and apply Agnihotra ash with ghee. Finally he decided to do it. Within 3 days the problem was solved and he started to walk easily.

Homa Organic Farming Training Course, Malaysia
In 2009 Frits and I were invited to conduct a three-day live-in Homa Organic Farming course in Malaysia. Approximately thirty-five participants, mostly established Malaysian organic farmers, attended the course, including participants from Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand.
The course was held at a beautiful organic farm/conference centre called Titi Eco Farm in the countryside not far from Kuala Lumpur. Mr Wong translated into Chinese.

SUNSET ON THE NARMADA RIVER.Time to tune into nature, connect with our mother Earth, let go of our busy day and let our soul escape into the last sunrays. The beauty of the Goddess Narmada is breath taking, her majestic silence and her constant flow are deeply touching and her sound is comforting. Thank you Narmada! |

Over 1000 Agnihotras were lit on the Maheshwar GOSHALA ground contributing gloriously to the Cycle of Life.

Suffering Prepares a Person for God
|
|
When there is more trouble oftentimes there is more opportunity to teach the fire. Suffering prepares a person for God. Now all of man is suffering the effects of pollution. So Agnihotra can go all over the world now. Now comes a time when we have to learn to live in this world and still maintain spiritual life. People generally are not able to integrate the two. Of course that is everyone’s lesson in this time. We cannot run off to the Himalayan mountains and live like monks. It is not that way now. Continue reading “Suffering Prepares a Person for God” |
Inculcate Wisdom Through Silence
|
|
Once you make the choice to serve others in whatever way you can, automatically at each turn, you are given these subtle hints and guidance comes through any channel necessary at the time. Guidance can come in dreams, in everyday conversation with a stranger, in reading; even through music subtle guidance comes. |
Mango Trees Give Fruit All Year Round
| Maria Cristina Correa and Rafael Valenzuela Cienaga, Magdalena Colombia, South America Our Homa garden on the Caribbean Sea “When we bought this house on the beach, there were cocoa plum bushes planted on the borders of the property. We began to recycle all fallen leaves and then we created a reafforestation system. We started planting trees and ornamental plants. We planted cassava, mangos, guava, papaya, plums, beans, sapodilla, lemons, avocados, grapes and many aromatic herbs such as mint, oregano and plenty of basil around the house and all this on the salty sand of the beach. We spray everything with the Agnihotra ash solution and of course, we practice daily sunrise and sunset Agnihotra. |
Aura Lisenia Ibanez’ Healing
Popayan, Colombia
South America
“I am 64 years old. My cousin heard the invitation to Homa Therapy on the radio. I told my cousin that she could take me anywhere but not to the hospital. She told me that Homa Therapy was in the SENA (National Learning Service) of Popayan. So I told her that I will come because the pain and cramps were terrible. So when I came here I was very seriously ill. I just couldn’t go on any longer.
Fever, Hot Flushes & Co.
Do you sweat a lot? Do you sweat too much?
Is it a general weakness, which makes me sweat at first and then makes me feel cold? Am I overweight so that too much heat is retained and the temperature cannot be balanced as precisely and easily by the body? Do I have an infection and the body fights it with fever? Am I in menopause, which may cause a hormonal adjustment and change in my internal balance?

Misery Loves Company

When you become more aware of things around you, you know things automatically. Still one must be still. For example we may be aware of what you are thinking but if you do not tell us we do not have the right to intervene. We can say some things to give indication but we cannot say directly. It is like that both in thought and action at a certain stage. Then other things happen once you rise a little higher. People begin to tell you everything they are thinking, feeling. Then you have even greater responsibility to guide, to listen, to comfort, to heal. BUT NOT INTERFERE. |
