Sonia Hunter invited us to meet her friend Monica Zurita, who lives in a beautiful farm in the province of Guayas. Monica was delighted with what she heard about Homa Therapy from Prof. Abel. Together with Sonia, a workshop was organized on the farm, where people also learned to make smudges. They also relaxed deeply with the sounds of crystal bowls and enjoyed an excellent meal. This workshop ended with a short presentation of the Homa Therapy, according to the necessities of the people present and
 we all experienced the peace and silence of the Agnihotra practice.
The attendees were delighted!         (Photos from this page from the Nina farm.)

4. Photo) It's something that left me very happy. We were with the Natural Health Foundation in an event that takes place worldwide on November 27th and is called "A Day to Give". Here in La Rioja the government called foundations, NGOs and all organizations to do something solitarily. And from there, we invited

people also for Homa Therapy. When the media arrived, the state TV channel invited us to talk about the foundation and what it provides. I asked if I could do Agnihotra in that Live TV Program. They said yes, without knowing exactly what it was about. They gave us the time of sunset for the talk. So, we did Agnihotra at the exact time and we felt the effect of it in the channel and it also reached the people who were watching. From there on, many people communicated with us and it was beautiful. I am super happy that Homa Therapy is spreading and that people are aware that this wonderful gift exists. A big hug from Argentina. OM SHREE OM

HOMA AROUND THE WORLD - MADRID, SPAIN

Elisabeth Mena Linder wrote from Madrid:
I am writing to share the nice experience I had before releasing a theater show in Madrid.
 I did Agnihotra in the place of the representation half an hour before its opening with the director and actors, but at the end the directors of the center,
technicians, cleaners, cooks ... all were present.
It was magical! Also the building is an old palace of the early twentieth century.
It's funny to remember that Master Shree Vasant told me, when I was little, that when I would be an actress, I would share Agnihotra with people from this medium, which in turn are a channel to reach many more people.
 And that's how it is! OM SHREE

SCIENTIFIC ASPECTS OF AGNIHOTRA

By Dr. Ulrich Berk

Human Health

        So far we have covered in previous HomaHealth Newsletters the effects of Agnihotra and Homa Therapy on our environment (atmosphere, soil, water resources), on plants and agriculture, on biodiversity and on animals.
Now let us look into the implications of Agnihotra and Homa Therapy for Human Health.

Homa Therapy is not just one more interesting natural way of healing like homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Reiki, etc.
Instead in our time of terrible overall pollution it has become an important, even necessary basis for all such good methods of natural healing. (This is quite similar to Homa Organic Farming, which is also not competing with existing forms of organic farming but instead is a necessary basic tool for any kind of organic farming.)

Why is that so?
Recent studies based on World Health Organization data are quite shocking. One such study shows the percentage of deaths related to environmental pollution.

"David Pimentel, Cornell professor of ecology and agricultural sciences, and a team of Cornell graduate students examined data from more than 120 published papers on the effects of population growth, malnutrition and various kinds of environmental degradation on human diseases.“
"We have serious environmental resource problems of water, land and energy, and these are now coming to bear on food production, malnutrition and the incidence of diseases, said Pimentel." (From: http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2007/08/pollution-causes-40-percent-deaths-worldwide-study-finds )
As this Cornell University study also considers the effects of environmental pollution on food production and malnutrition the pollution related deaths are higher as compared with the percentages shown on the map above.

SCIENTIFIC ASPECTS OF AGNIHOTRA cont.

           A recent study by World Health Organization concentrates on the effects of air pollution on children’s health. According to that study 93% of children live in environments with air pollution that exceeds WHO guidelines, and as a result every year approximately 600.000 children die of air pollution.

Commenting this study, the Director General of the WHO, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said:
“A clean and healthy environment is the single most important precondition for ensuring good health. By cleaning up the air we breathe, we can prevent or at least reduce some of the greatest health risks.”
(Source: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/air-pollution/?utm_campaign=mail-pollution&utm_medium=email&utm_source=email&utm_content=air-pollution&mpweb=144-7434645-513242837 ).
An advance copy of the full study can be seen at:
http://www.who.int/ceh/publications/Advance-copy-Oct24_18150_Air-Pollution-and-Child-Health-merged-compressed.pdf?ua=1

Nine of the ten most polluted cities in the world are in India. The situation is worst in New Delhi. Especially in winter the situation is so bad that Arvind Kumar, a lung surgeon at Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, said: „... the situation today is a public health emergency. If you want to protect people, we should be ordering the evacuation of Delhi. Closing down all schools. Closing down all offices.“
But this is not going to happen. Of course lung doctors are doing their best to treat patients who come with breathing problems because of polluted air.
Still, even the best therapy can only treat symptoms. It cannot remove the cause, that is environmental pollution.
A recent study done in China shows that not only physical health but also mental health is affected by air pollution. A summary of the study says:
"We find that long-term exposure to air pollution impedes cognitive performance in verbal and math tests. We provide evidence that the effect of air pollution on verbal tests becomes more pronounced as people age, especially for men and the less educated. The damage on the aging brain by air pollution likely imposes substantial health and economic costs, considering that cognitive functioning is critical for the elderly for both running daily errands and making high-stake decisions.“
(http://www.pnas.org/content/115/37/9193)

Again, doctors cannot fight the cause of the problem. They only can help to reduce the symptoms. So the question is – what can people in such places with high environmental pollution, especially air pollution, do? At least they can purify their own houses with the help of Agnihotra.
Homa Therapy by purifying our environment removes the cause and thus builds the foundation for whatever good therapy.

Basic tool of Homa Therapy always is Agnihotra. Agnihotra reduces pathogenig bacteria and other pollutants in the air and purifies water resources in the vicinity. We are breathing in healthy air and drinking pure water – thus building a strong foundation for good health.

The above summary of different studies shows that we all have to purify our environment for good health. Homa Therapy gives us the tools which are available to everybody and at least we can start creating a healthy atmosphere at our homes.
In the following articles we will see the effects on Human Health.

MESSAGES FROM MASTER SHREE VASANT

FORGIVENESS is the hallmark of all healing. Until you are willing to forgive anyone in your life —past or present— who has harmed you in any way, you simply cannot heal fully.

It is like insulating your home and leaving the center of that home with a hole in it, then, wondering why you are cold. To fill that hole, to ensure full protection, you must forgive, forgive, forgive!
Only thing preventing you from full forgiveness is EGO.
So, you have to decide who you want to live with in your life. Who do you want to put in charge of your life? Who will you put in the driver’s seat? Your ego? Then, there is no guarantee you will succeed. Your soul? Then, you must FORGIVE.

The soul allows for Divine to sit in the driver’s seat, knowing, trusting full well that Divine will guide your every move through life. And with that element of SURRENDER, one feels true, absolute FREEDOM.

Otherwise, it is only EGO tricking you. “I want this, I want that’’ like a small child who has not yet learned to temper those desires. That is normal development, but as one ages, one begins to learn the Power of Discrimination—the difference between right and wrong. And one begins to steer one’s life in this more logical direction.

Once one truly begins to walk on spiritual path, one comes to know there is a higher power greater than his/her small self. One begins to truly desire to do Divine Will.

The art is attuning one’s free will to that of Divine Will. Then, Almighty makes use of all one’s talents, one’s natural gifts, one’s innate and learned abilities, one’s dreams, one’s visions—and co-creates one’s walk through life. That level of Oneness is rare and a pure state of being.
One develops trust and faith in Almighty Father, Divine Mother, and releases one’s fears, one’s hesitations, one’s personal baggage of emotions, and one’s hard learnt confusion, one’s doubts, one’s insecurities. Once you realize you can and will be totally free to follow Divine Will, the freedom is intoxicating. It is so ecstatic. At this point, one is fully alive, pulsating with a greater love than that which bears conditions and expectations.
One begins to truly walk the Path of Light with all love and grace. And this is within the power of all of you seated here.
Be patient with yourselves, where you are on spiritual path and where you wish to be. As long as you are moving toward the Light, toward the Oneness with Divine, you are moving in line with your soul.
Be aware. Be diligent in your pursuit of TRUTH. Learn, when you stumble, to say “not this.’ Get up and start again.

There has never been a greater time in history to be moving into Light. Despite all the setbacks of world political reality, climate and natural disasters—there has never been so much of a great push toward the Light.
May you walk in Light always with love and blessings.
OM TAT SAT.

     On Uprising of Awareness and Power in Love

Sí, Yes, yes. We see the world reeling from climate change, erratic weather conditions, and deep unrest, not only in warring countries—but in countries once ‘great’ super powers!

Indeed, whilst the world stage is dominated by erratic leadership, faux pas and allegations which would normally result in impeachment—behind the scenes, far more sinister far-reaching changes are being made, while the seeming buffoons act in the political arena. Indeed, there will be a greater force which arises to even out the playing field.

On the level of the heart, there is an uprising of aware human beings rushing forth with hope in mind and prayers in heart. Indeed, the people must rise. In every area of life they are being called to rise, to change the direction of world events and reassert the notion of FREEDOM, which seems to have slid off course.

Now, the youth shall rise and take rightful places in leadership, affecting policy changes and correcting wrongs done against humanity.

Even the diets of the youth will be influenced by the aversion to cruelty towards the animal kingdom. The current peak interest and embrace of Vegan diet across the world is an indicator of change.

Yes, indeed, change is in the air.
Do not give up hope.

Lay down the sword and refrain from violence of any kind.
Link arms-in-arms, rather than take up arms.

Rise up and take your rightful places in the march of resistance to evil.
And move as one toward the path of good.

There is strength in numbers.
There is power in Love.

We are with you, brave ones.

We are,
Orion.

Septembre 9, 2018
(Today we celebrated the 22nd anniversary of our healing temple. These messages were received during Rudra Yajnya in the temple.)

Shree:
On this auspicious date here at our Bhrugu Aranya, blessings are being showered upon you all.

The Mantras are seeded into the atmosphere from the repetition of Rudra Yajnya chant. There is an instant recognition of these Mantras and they are drawn into the trees, into the plants, stones, and soil of this sacred place.

Those who learn these ancient Mantras with relative ease in this life have often been seeded with the Mantras from previous incarnations. For them as such, it is an instant recognition as well, and their souls are drawn to and awakened by repetition of the Mantras.

Humans, as well as Nature, respond to Mantras in a similar manner. It is like a light is suddenly switched on. We commend all who carry the Mantras into the next generation, and uphold the sacred practice of Yajnya.
