    Through a zoom session on 26th December 2020, we learnt about Agnihotra from Shruti Mehra Chauhan (Shrutiji), our Art of Living Teacher. Later she also taught us Vyahruti and Tryambakam Homa. The Agnihotra kit was not available in Mauritius, so we ordered 70 Agnihotra kits from Mr. Sarvajit Paranjpe, the grandson of Shree Vasantji. Due to covid, the procedures for exportation changed in India and our parcel could only arrive in August of 2021. Public holiday for Ganesh Chaturthi was on Saturday 11 September. On Sunday, 12th September, we again had a zoom session with Shrutiji, and she guided us in performing sunset Agnihotra. It sounds like all

was preplanned by the subtle higher energies that we started with Agnihotra right after the Ganesh Chaturthi Celebration.  (Photo: Janardhun in front of the Homa fire.)
 
   Just before 12th September, I was about to quit the Agnihotra group as I was busy doing Sandhyavandanam kriya, yoga, meditation, etc. In my mind I said, why add 1 more thing like Agnihotra to my list? I could hardly manage my time for all these practices. However, on 12 September 2021, I was there when Shrutiji guided us to perform sunset Agnihotra.
The next morning, I woke up at 4 am, earlier than my usual waking time, well before the alarm bell. Again, the following days I woke up early automatically. Now, I have enough time to do all my practices in the morning. Agnihotra practice has modified my lifestyle.
 
    One of my latest healing experiences happened in November 2021. After I received one dose of the so-called “covid vaccination”, my right knee got swollen and an abnormal growth was showing up on my lower belly. So, I went to the ayurvedic doctor here. He prescribed me many ayurvedic plant-based drugs. He mentioned that if I go to hospital, I would have to undergo surgery for removal of that abnormal growth. He even said not to rub anything there. For a few days I took the medicine. In my mind one thought dominated 'I am doing Agnihotra, a powerful cleansing Homa, why take medicine. I have faith in Agnihotra.’ And then I stopped taking all medicine.
 
   I performed Agnihotra regularly, consumed the healing ash and applied the ash over that growth and on my knee. After some days, the growth disappeared from my lower belly and my knee was normal. When I went to the appointment with the ayurvedic doctor after 10 days, all was normal and I felt completely well.
 
  I did not find it correct to tell the doctor about Agnihotra and its ash, as he had previously told me not to apply anything. He even has the Agnihotra kit but he is not practicing this healing fire, saying that he performs Agnihotra mentally. Once I asked him to talk about Agnihotra to his higher officials, but he did not agree. While I was searching for more information, I found out that Agnihotra falls under Ayurveda and I feel it would be a great help for all ayurvedic doctors to promote Agnihotra practice of their patients.
 
   We even had 2 cases of covid patients who were in the Intensive Care Unit. Doctors had given up saying that only prayers will help. The relatives of the patients performed Tryambakam Homa daily (beside Agnihotra) and miraculously the 2 patients recovered fast and lead a normal life again.
 
    I am happy to see the lives of people changing for better with the Homa healing fires and that is why I perform and promote Agnihotra.

Agnihotra: True Super Technology
 
 Hello to all Agnihotris round the globe! I will share our family's Agnihotra experience in the time during the corona pandemic. We live in Nashik, Maharashtra. We are practicing Agnihotra since 25+ years (even before I was born; I am 24 years of age). We know what Agnihotra is and have experienced it's benefits for a long time. But the

But because of the Divine Blessings of Shree Gajanan Maharaj through the constant practice of Agnihotra, none of the patients my father treated in the entire corona cycle, died! Every single one of them came out fit and fine and not one case was fatal!
 
     Whenever we recall this, it's even for us hard to believe, but because of Agnihotra and our Guru's blessings we came out of the pandemic period successfully, managing my sister's wedding, which was my grandpa's last wish to see and he witnessed it in his last days among the entire chaos!
 
I have recently drawn a sketch of Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan Maharaj (right) as my small effort of gratitude towards HIS constant Blessings.

Eddy Aichbauer, a close Agnihotra friend of Reiner since youth, expressed in the name for so many of us, his love, gratitude and admiration for his dear friend:

“Reiner Szcypior, our dearest friend and brother on the Fivefold Path, went to his spiritual home on May 22nd.
Reiner was a pioneer for Agnihotra in Germany, Austria and Switzerland since the seventies, lived in Turkey and India for a long time and travelled to many countries to spread Shree's message. Reiner is a role model of discipline, determination and dedication. He dedicated his entire life to the Fivefold Path and had the ideal companion in his wife, Manuela, who stood by his side unwaveringly to this day.
Reiner was absorbed in Mantra and focused on Shree the whole time, despite the painful last few weeks.
All our sympathy goes out to Manuela, Gabriel and Fiona.
OM SHREE”

 
    Following Shree’s indications, Reiner, Manuela and their 2 children lived for 13 years in Turkey in several places, practicing Agnihotra and other Homa disciplines, like daily 4 hours Tryambakam Homa, 12 to 24 hours on full and new moon, etc.
 
     They stayed in the ancient healing site of Pergamon-Askelpion, Bergama, there for 3 years doing "Homa Light work". When their task was finished, they were shown in several dreams the whole of Pergamon surrounded by 4 to 5 pillars of light, and a large Hand came out of a white minaret and pointed to the place where they lived. All of Pergamon was in the light.
 
       After this, they were guided to spend one year near Bodrum, and 9 years in old Smyrna, south of Izmir. Shree Vasant had chosen this place where they build a house and continued with the same rhythm the practice of the Homa healing fires.
 
     A few years after returning from Turkey, when the children were grown up and building their own lives, Reiner and Manuela traveled to India and lived there for over 6 years. Under Shrees' guidance they went on teaching Agnihotra and Homa farming, mostly in North India, in cities like Haridwar, Hrishikesh, Palampur and in the higher regions of the

Manuelas' and Reiners' last days together on this earthly plane were showered by Light, Love, Peace and Total Surrender.

As Manuela expresses with so much love:
 
“When you live together for such a long time with your partner, there can be certain things that disturb you, something that you do not like.
I feel that Reiner and I, made it finally, because all that completely fell away, it did not have any longer importance. We both could express and live that TOTAL LOVE. We felt one, WE WERE ONE! All that was important was the Light and the Love. There was nothing else I could see in him, but Divine Light. Nothing else existed apart from that, everything had fallen away...
HE WAS LIGHT.”

 
          It was Reiner who inspired, with his many and beautiful experiences traveling with Shree Vasant and being in the presence of Shree Gajanan Maharaj, the HomaHealth Newsletter column "A Devotee shares". He wrote the first several chapters.
 
    Reiner left his physical body on the Moon of Wesak, the full moon of Buddha's Enlightenment. What a blessed time to leave the physical remains of a soul that has surrendered and is one with the Divine Light. We are grateful to have known this exceptional soul, a true friend in all avenues and a teacher by example.
 
Extracts from Reiner's letters written within these last few months:

"Dear sisters and brothers. Our being, our laughter, our joy, our gratitude, our mindfulness is Mother Earth's elixir of life.
 
We heard the call and followed it, SHREE’S path to divine light. We ignite His light at sunrise and sunset, during the sun's path and in the darkness of night. Homa and Mantras fill the room."
 
"Really - every breath is a new beginning. A yes for love. A yes to the divine that we are.

Love, understanding, help, mindfulness and humility are the qualities on the path to light."

 
"We hope that more groups will be found and a larger web of healing will be spun, as the grandmothers so sweetly say: stretching a web of light around the earth by enlightening ourselves.

This development towards our inner light, joy, love and peace.
 
Thank you for being together. “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” – The world is one family."
 
"Beloved human family, may joy and love soon fill all of our hearts and suffering be erased from the vocabulary of language."
 
Light and Love
SHREE’S Blessings

 “Bliss through Service”.)

   
Fivefold Path, a blessing of a blueprint for happy living, was revealed by Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan Maharaj of Akkalkot/Shivapuri, India. It truly is a path of Light. Five basic principles are given in order to help one cope with the stresses of life, develop a sense of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. It is so simple, a child could follow it. In fact, during the time I traveled widely and taught Yoga and Meditation for Children, the Fivefold Path was given in such a clear and simple way, it became quite profound how living consciously, following guidelines so clear, truly benefitted children of all ages.
It touched me deeply.

Agnihotra, Daan, Tapa, Karma and Swadhyaya are the five steps to a life of love. I believe when one consciously walks this path, true happiness can be achieved. That said, there are always going to be challenges in life, high peaks and deep, low valleys, during which time we may struggle to see the Light at the end of a seemingly endless tunnel. Light will shine. Keep walking. Step by step.

Through practice of Fivefold Path, we will have become more at peace, with ourselves and others, through the ancient fire of AGNIHOTRA. Through DAAN, we will have begun to reduce our attachments by sharing with others in a spirit of humility. We will have learned the art of self-discipline and being true to ourselves, keeping our word to ourselves—using TAPA. And through conscious practice of KARMA, we will have gleaned the way to speak kindly with others and do good action toward all we meet. We will have known how to identify right from wrong. We will be well on our way when we arrive at SWADHYAYA.
 
Today, my heart is leading me to discuss a

 
«Know thyself»-Socrates
«To thine own self be true»-Shakespeare

If one can learn to fearlessly face oneself, one will begin to unravel one’s complexities, arriving at a simpler, more peaceful state of being.

One can often feel hopeless. Let it go. Clear away the cobwebs of illusion, of self-doubt and of self-importance.

Who am I in relation to the great cosmos? Who am I in relation to my Master’s Plan? How may I walk this path with grace and with purpose to serve? How may my life be of service? This is also part of Swadhyaya.
 

“All answers come in silence. By regular practice of Mantra, we reaffirm the Holy in our lives. This ushers into us a calm sense of well being, serenity, peace of mind. This is where we become available to be instruments of His Divine Will. Only through practice of Yajnya (Homa) and Mantra can this be achieved. Still, it is all Grace.“

- Shree Vasant -

When children are small, they are often asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The imagination runs wild. It is not unusual to find a classroom full of children wishing to be in roles many of them only dream of in this life. They have familial limitations, societal limitations, but mor than that, they have their own limitations.

When children are raised in a conscious home, they can break through the norms, because they are free of its constraints. We see that only children are allowed to dream.

These flights of fantasy are acceptable only when a being is at a young age. As a human being progresses and grows up, essentially, he is asked “What do you do?” He feels compelled to be doing some productive activity all the time. This in its essence is quite positive. However, many human beings are not ‘being’ at all, only doing and doing frantically at that. When beings begin to experience meditation, they have often great difficulty sitting. It takes time to come into a quiet state of being. This state alone can lift the human race beyond its current dilemma.
By bringing more beings into a state of ‘being’, the collective awareness of this planet will rise.

 
It might be said that the way out of the ‘dilemma’ of what to do and when to do it, is SERVICE. Why we do it lurks in the background as well.

Should my goal be personal aggrandizement, amassing wealth, seeking name and fame, or plain old pursuit of pleasure, asking who stands to benefit helps clarify things.

If the benefactor is primarily ourselves, it is doubtful that pure service—or at least selfless service—has entered the picture. Shuffling the deck may be in order.

This isn’t to say that I must completely lose sight of myself when acting. It does say that the order of beneficiaries should not put SELF first.

“Do onto others as you would have them do onto you,” holds wisdom for balancing SELF with everything else. Similarly, “Love thy neighbor as thyself,” again speaks to not putting oneself first.

Should one wonder how Mother Teresa could serve and support the lepers—at considerable risk and discomfort to herself—it might be illustrative to start with how she may have viewed the hierarchy of self and others we are discussing.

 

 
Si If I truly wish to “Love thy neighbor ….,” loving yourself (myself) certainly is not only relevant but vital to gauging my activities and behavior.

It’s not just that ‘charity starts at home.’ Love resides in ourselves ready to rear its glorious head.

If we wish to discover the truth of “the only way out is in,” best we begin with the ‘in.’ It really can’t be any other way.

If we experience life in part—or in whole—as correcting the past so as to improve the future, surely the ‘order of business’ starts within—home to our past experience.

If we wish to do God’s work, accessing that entity in whose image we are created may be not only a good place to begin, but as well a good place to continue and end.

‘Higher self,’ the ‘child within,’ the soul and heart all reside in that holy, awesome neighborhood of rarified air we call SERVICE.

The kingdom of heaven is near at hand we have been told. Perhaps it is as near as His and our breath.

 
THE POWER OF SILENCE

“The great elevations of the soul are possible only in solitude and in silence”. Arturo Graf
 
At this moment, I am reading a little book in paperback format called Biography of Silence, by Pablo d’Ors, a Spanish priest, scholar of meditation and contemplation. A real gem, he has inspired me to write this article.
 
We live in a society that constantly pushes us to be busy and immersed in continuous activity, which often stuns, hypnotizes, and transforms us in robots; it steals from us the joy of living in fullness, without expectations.
 
It is not only women who are affected by this constant over-stimulation, but the whole of society is subjected to it. This seems to be another of the many ways to lull us to sleep and keep us away from the true goal of our existence.
 
As women, we are accustomed to, and perhaps forced to be multitasking women. This often contributes to the detriment of our own mental, physical and even spiritual health.
 
If we were able to stop this accelerated race for survival and take a deep breath, become aware of these instances and try to stop any activity—no matter how small it may be—we would be entering into the real practice of silence.
 
In a women's circle, we can take the opportunity to schedule sessions for practicing silence.
 
Many times, it is impossible for us to do this practice of silence at home, due to our individual circumstances. However, once we begin to add this as part of our daily routine—whatever our path, our religion or our work is—we will realise that sometimes, with just a few brief moments of deep inner silence, our whole mental structure adjusts

Sometimes deeper and wiser thoughts or ideas are preceded by silence. We need time to think and process some ideas and it is difficult to do this while we are living intensely in the present, without taking a pause for reflection. Nowadays, we are so used to the rhythm of 'thinking too much.’ Yet, sometimes when we really want to concentrate on something deeper, a little silence is enough to access thoughts that exist within us and that we don't always take the time and space to listen to.

 
Let your thoughts pass. This means that you observe what you are thinking, as if you were watching the clouds pass in the sky. Continue to let the thoughts pass for at least 10 minutes.
At the end, you may have experienced a curious feeling of silence. It is something pleasant and new, easy to recognise. It tends to be very fleeting, though. It takes practice!
 
B) 1. Sitting in a circle, place your hands on your thighs. If you already practise simple mudras, you can use them. Close your eyes.
2. Breathe deeply in and out around six times. Then continue with normal breathing. At this point, the woman guiding the session will play background music in alpha wave, binaural sounds. Nowadays it is easy to find this kind of music on YouTube or other media. It is scientifically proven that this type of sound helps us to connect with the inner silence. I recommend about 10 minutes.
3. We open our eyes, stretch, and, still in that state of silence and relaxation, we stand up and walk around the room—or if we have the opportunity to go outside and walk in the garden, even better.
4. We return to our inner circle, close our eyes for a few moments and after a deep breath, slowly open them, looking into each other's eyes. The guide simply announces the end of the session and hugs the woman on her left, and so they all hug each other goodbye. We leave in silence. We only speak again when the circle has closed.
 
It is a very powerful exercise and sometimes not very well understood, but I assure you that the next time you meet, there will be a lot to share...
 
“Silence is a friend who never betrays.” Confucio
 
See you next time!

 
For almost two centuries we have adopted a way of life that generates a high and progressive level of POLLUTION and DESTRUCTION of the biosphere (atmosphere, soil, water), to such an extent that it not only brings suffering and misery to all beings that inhabit it, but also threatens all forms of life on the planet.
 
Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan, the Avatar to combat pollution, the Kalki Avatar, in September 1944, makes the following vow:
 
“I will resuscitate the Vedas”.
 
On the same day He delivers the “SEVEN VERSES” (Sapta Shloki), where He points out that the Vedas were delivered along with the Creation and contain, besides the knowledge of various disciplines that today make up what we know as science, the Eternal Principles, the Science of the Soul, what Omnipotent Power is, the danger of both dogmatism and the violation of the Eternal Principles.
 
(In the body of knowledge that makes up the Vedas, there is not only information about natural sciences, those considered tangible,

 
 but it also encompasses the subtler planes that can be called metaphysical. For the in the ancient science those dimensions that deal with the Science of the Soul were an integral part, since the human being was considered in its totality. Science could not leave aside the happiness of the human being, and a science that did not consider that aspect, was not science or and incomplete science.
 
The Human being, the microorganisms, the plants, the animals (and the environment), form a biological and bioenergetic community. The human being has an important function in this biological, bioenergetic community that must be fulfilled in order to be Happy.)
 
THE FIVEFOLD PATH
 
In the Seventh Verse, Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan synthesizes the essence of the Teachings of the Vedas in what today we call the “FIVE-FOLD PATH”, the Five Principles that make up the scientific program of the Vedas, to achieve a life of Prosperity, Peace, and Happiness, in harmony with Creation.

 
Verse 7:
 
“Be engrossed in Yajnya, Daan, Tapa, Karma and Swadhyaya. This alone is the Eternal Religion (Eternal Principles of Religion, Teachings, Law, Instructions), given through the Vedas”.

YAJNYA: PURIFICATION: of the atmosphere by means of Fires made under certain disciplines, which automatically leads to the purification of the mind. Agnihotra is the basic and primary Yajnya.
 
DAAN: SHARING: the belongings in a spirit of humility to generate detachment. Purification from attachments.
 
TAPA: SELF-DISCIPLINE: for the fruition of purposes. Eliminate bad habits and empower the good ones. Purification of wrong thought patterns and action.
 
KARMA: MERITORIOUS ACTIONS: That all actions be for my purification.
 
SWADHYAYA: Self-Knowledge: ¿Who are we really? What are we here for? Self-realization.

The FIVE-FOLD PATH is the method or program to free ourselves from all that we are not and that what prevents us from leading a life of Peace, Prosperity and Bliss and deliver that to all that surround us. To free ourselves from illusions, superstitions, prejudices, limitations, egoisms, greed, passions, envy, pride, vanity, anger, attachments, egos, etc. In short, from all those factors that lead to misery and suffering.

Yajnyas purify the atmosphere, which interacts with the Prana, the life energy that connects us with the cosmos and circulates within us. The normalization of Prana, achieved with the purification of the atmosphere, automatically calms, and purifies our minds, re-establishes the planet's energy cycles, nourishes and protects the plant kingdom from pests,

 
purifies and energizes the waters, and restores harmony in Nature.

It is important to note that the atmosphere is the organ of our biosphere that we all share and that carries out vital functions for the stability of our Biosphere, our Well-being and Evolution.
 
The practice of the FIVE-FOLD PATH, the Five Purifying Principles of different spheres or dimensions, not only delivers Nourishment, Peace, and Contentment to each human being who practices them, but also to all the elements and beings that compose our Biosphere.
 
Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan, the Avatar to destruct Pollution, by resurrecting the Vedic Science that ensures a way of life in harmony with Nature, is reminding us of the existence of the Eternal Knowledge and that we must turn our eyes towards that Knowledge and draw upon the tools it gives us, to overcome confusion and misguidance, and return to the right path, the path of the Science of Life.
 
During the last decades of the last century, He commissioned His Messengers to spread this message to all parts of the planet:
 
“Our words which lead to Bliss, convey them to all peoples of the world”.
 
Humanity needs Peace, Bliss, and Prosperity, both for itself and for all beings that make up our biosphere, and beyond.
 
We are an organic community, and each one has specific tasks to fulfill, according to those it will advance towards its own realization.
 
Eternal Knowledge is Sacred. Total Science paves the way to Happiness. Truth sets us free.
OM SHREE

 
In January 2004 I was invited to meet Shree Vasant in Lima, Peru. The first encounter was something supernatural. I was captivated by Him and the peace that He transmits. His energy made me feel like a butterfly drawn to the light. The things He talked about then govern the days of my life now. Everything changed since that day, especially my spiritual life.

I practiced Agnihotra fire in the morning and in the evening at my Medical Clinic, El Buen Pastor (The Good Shepherd). When I first ingested Agnihotra ash for breakfast, almost immediately I began to feel differently. My blood sugar level lowered and my energy increased.  
I wanted to prove this effect with other people, so I began to prescribe this Agnihotra ash medicine to my own patients.

The effect of this Agnihotra ash medicine is different. It acts immediately. I could see that my patients improved quickly, so quickly that I even began to worry that soon I would have fewer patients to treat!

 
However, I have many more patients now than ever. Every healed patient brings ten new ones.

I share Agnihotra ash, the product of this amazing healing fire, with all my patients. We always give the Agnihotra ash medicine for free.
 
In the last six years, we have treated approximately 15,000 patients and the great majority of them have been healed. Even some patients suffering from “incurable” illnesses like cancer and AIDS have been healed completely.
 
Since I started this practice of Agnihotra, I began to receive intuitive instructions relating to my patients. It is as if a Voice guides me toward what is the best treatment for each patient who comes. Many times, I know their problems before I see them and I already know what to do. At first this experience was startling to me, but when I realized that the instructions were accurate, I was able to accept and utilize the guidance to help my patients.
