THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

     Let us do more Swadhyaaya (self-study).
If you ask a group of people: What is the purpose of life? The vast majority would say that the purpose of life is
“To Be Happy.”
   But the meaning of happiness varies greatly depending on:
the state of consciousness, age, culture, region, education, economy, beliefs, etc. of the respondents.
Thus, we see how the babies are happy when their mother is near. Children are happy when they are playing. Young people are happy with new experiences, romances, adventures, etc. Adults tend to seek more money, wealth, properties, partner, children, fame, power, etc.
For some happiness is to eat or live with much comfort and luxury, fashion, jewelry, pleasure, sex, etc. Some have much joy when they express their feelings through their voices, dance, sculpture, painting or any art. Some want to investigate and discover mysteries , study science or philosophy, etc.
  Many experience happiness when they serve others selflessly.
And few just focus on searching the “Self” behind the shadows.
    Every day there are more souls who want to go beyond all transient joys or loves and want to get back to the Source and feel in communion with the 

        The practice of Agnihotra is a simple technique that can start our "Awakening to other Realities".

Creator of all these “Gifts” (emanations or projections). Agnihotra (Vedic Fire) can bring us to the practices: Daan, Tapa, Karma and Swadhyaya. They together form what is called the “Fivefold Path", which has a universal character and it is open to anyone who wants to know through his/her own experience without having to change his/her beliefs.
   Yes, yes, yes, some souls want to go beyond the “Gifts of Life” and the limitations and meet the SELF or great soul or God, hiding behind the "Gifts" or rather, hiding
inside of us.
            Spiritual Scientists tell us that only through the Union with the Universal Father / Mother, we can find the
"Permanent Happiness".

      We invite you to walk together, holding hands,
back to Our Great Home.
Receive all our love.
OM SHREE OM

HOMA HEALING STORIES

Prof. Miguel Sastre
Finca Cripiña, Utuado, Pto. Rico

    "I am 60 years old and a professor of biology at the University of Puerto Rico. We started with the practice of Agnihotra approx. one year ago. When I do it, I feel during and after Agnihotra a very special positive energy. It is real and it helps me with my meditation techniques, which I started in the year 86. And that energy remains and makes me feel good."

Elena Biamon, wife
Finca Cripiña, Utuado, Pto. Rico, Caribbean

    "I've also felt the benefit of Agnihotra in my meditations. We always do our practices after Agnihotra. And personally, when I do Agnihotra, I feel that I manage better the challenges that life brings me during the day. I handle the situations calmer and with more wisdom."
                                                                                       (Photo: Elena y Miguel during Agnihotra)

HOMA FARMING -
THE SOLUTION FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET!

     José Vicente Segura sent the following photos and information from Almazora, Castellon, Spain:

       "As you can see, with the help of Homa Therapy, I have finally been able to get my first crop of tomatoes. The photos show the power of the ash coming from the Agnihotra Fire and its effect on my plants on a balcony on the fifth floor of a building in the middle of the city.
The remains of the veggies, I give to my staff, the earthworms, who contribute with their precious humus. (See last photo on this page)With best wishes."

"Back home in the US, we had a great time at the Homa Therapy workshop held at the community Garden of Buena Vista Ave in Yonkers, New York. It was lovely to share Agnihotra with members of our community. Many of them took these moments to relax and connect with nature.
Earlier in the day, the organization 'Eat local NY' came to visit our communal garden. They do a wonderful job and provide our community with fresh vegetables from the area and teach different ways to use them in a variety of dishes.

SCIENTIFIC ASPECTS OF AGNIHOTRA - INTRODUCTION

We are very happy to present a new, interesting and much awaited column: "Scientific Aspects of Agnihotra", written by Dr. Ulrich Berk.

Ulrich Berk  (photo right)  was born in Germany, has a Master degree in Philosophy of Science, Sociology and is Doctor of Philosophy (Logic, Mathematics, Psychology). He stared with the parctice of Agnihotra in the year 1979.
Since 1980 he coordinates research on Homa Therapy, in countries like Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Yugoslavia, India, etc. In India he works in cooperation with different universities like Palampur Agricultural University, Kanpur Agricultural University, Tamil Nadu University, Dharwad

University, IIT, Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, Fergusson College, Pune, Vivekananda University, Bangalore, North Maharashtra University. He is author and co-author of various publicationes about Homa Therapy and Homa organic farming.

Dr. Ulrich Berk wrote:
    "Many people have experienced the beneficial effects of Agnihotra on their own health and well-being, on animals, plants, and on the environment.
If we trust our own experience – we do not need any scientists to tell us that this method of Agnihotra has beneficial effects.
We have experienced such effects and each month we can see a lot of new evidence of healings by Agnihotra in this Homa Health Newsletter. That is enough reason to continue doing these healing fires – scientific confirmation is not really needed.

Still there are some considerations why scientific research about Agnihotra and Homa Therapy makes sense:

1) Even though we experience the effects of Agnihotra – some people still would like to know HOW Agnihotra works, what are the underlying mechanisms, how do the energies coming from the sun at sunrise or sunset, the mantras uttered at that time, the copper pyramid of fixed shape and size, and the flame we get by burning specific substances all work together to get the effect we are experiencing? That seems to be quite an interesting question.

2) When we are sharing the method of Agnihotra, often we meet with people who are not open to just try and see, experience the effects and then decide whether they want to continue or not – they would like to have some scientific background in order to believe. For such people scientific results would be important and helpful.

3) Although we can experience quite a lot of beneficial effects of Agnihotra (on ourselves, on plants and animals), there are areas which are beyond the range of our senses. E.g. we cannot easily find out whether some fruits or vegetables are polluted with pesticides – and therefore cannot easily find out whether it helps to soak these fruits and vegetables in Agnihotra Ash Water overnight. For that, some scientific experiment would help.

MESSAGES FROM SHREE VASANT

      Mantra is a powerful tool when used properly. Power is given through the Mantra. Do not miss meditation timings.

       Best is to cast no blame and seek for the answers why within. To blame another for a fate which has befallen you is to refuse to look within. Then how can you learn your lessons? You look from a higher perspective and you will realize there is no need to blame anyone. If it is too much to bear, lay it at Our Feet and it will be lifted from you.

         It is like inside there is a treasure chest full of diamonds and gold and you are asked simply to go inside and open it. You have been given the key and again reminded of that key. All you have to do is go inside and open the treasure chest. You continue looking outside for answer. Go inside and you find more than answers.

        You must get into the habit of smiling all the time. All the time smiling. It has a good effect on your mind, not to mention the joy you bring to others.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT
        Self development begins with a thorough investigation of “Who am I?” “What am I here for?” “How can I overcome my addictions, attitudes and mental blockages in order to fulfill my VIKARMA."

SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
     Forgive, have no expectations and LIVE IN JOY. Think like a businessman in that he becomes more efficient, organized, time-conscious and the like, but focus must clearly remain on spiritual development. One has to conduct himself and lead the life by spiritual teachings and not what is done in the world of business and worldly affairs. It is easy to fall in the trap of success but to tread the spiritual path, effort is required.

ADVICE FOR COUPLES
       If there are any moments when sorrow takes hold or fear takes hold, let those moments be further and further between whenever you feel sad or afraid. Watch it. Do not catch hold of it. Simply watch. Then it will go. No one wants it. Periods of joy become longer and more and more frequent. Increase meditations together. Chanting together.

FROM INTUITIVE GUIDANCE
(as received by Parvati Bizberg, Poland)

On Carrying the Spark of Light
Yes, yes. In the world there are senseless crimes against humanity, but not only humanity—also, senseless injustice toward the animal kingdom, and the beleaguered environment. There can be no more cries from the hungry, those in pain, those alone and suffering, in every corner of this tumultuous, troubled world.

Those of you who have seen and experienced Light, Truth and Love that surpass understanding, can and must carry that spark of Light to all human beings, high and low, around the globe.

Cease the fretting and unnecessary woes, curb your worrying tendencies and strengthen yourselves in unity. Move as one force through the darkness that surrounds this world.

Chant. Pray. Sing. Write.

If you think you can isolate and achieve this purpose, you will find yourselves feeling something is amiss.

It is not time for isolation, nor time to insulate yourselves, even within your tribes or even within your family units. It is time to make full use of all your creative gifts to spread the Light.

Many will speak words of inspiration, which will awaken others through the power of the word of TRUTH.

Others will inspire and awaken via the majestic power of MUSIC.
Still others, with ART.

There are many avenues, like streets paved with gold, all of which lead Home. 
Choose your path wisely. Hold true to those tenets you learned along the way. Speak out.

Dance. Sing. Paint. Build. Create.

Blessings abound.
Build and fortify your faith.
Walk in Light.

OM TAT SAT. 

On Strengthening the Spirit
Yes, yes. It is time for deeper periods of meditation in your life, dear vehicle. This is the Source, the resource from which you will glean stamina, clarity and direction. Your soul has yearned for this. You must be strict with yourself to make greater use of your time.

If you know, as you know, what is your highest calling, what is your Vikarma, it is that which must account for more time each day. It is only through strengthening the spirit that Light can truly manifest—from the inside out to the world.

We are always present, ready to serve any time, any day, ORION.

On Bringing Joy
Yes, yes. Dear ones, consider your lives as a whole. Examine your reasoning and purpose for all that you do. Become super conscious of what motivates and inspires you, what brings joy not only into your own heart, but into the hearts of those around you.

Consider your life now. It is like your own vehicle. What direction are you going towards in your life? How can your life carry the impact into the lives of others? If you are blessed with healing abilities, are you making these healings available? Are you reaching out with words as yet unwritten?

Dear vehicle, in your case, writing will be your primary source of communication with the masses. WRITE. WRITE. WRITE.
