Treating the Seeds

Seeds should be organic wherever possible and non-hybrid, if one wishes to harvest seeds for future plantings. It is best if they have not been treated with chemicals.

Place the seeds in the Resonance Hut on the eastern side of the Agnihotra pyramid and keep them exposed to a minimum of 2 consecutive Agnihotra fires.

According to the ancient science of Homa Therapy, treating seeds by the following method can make them more disease and pest resistant and give them an initial boost.

For backyard plantings/small gardens:

Treating the Soil

  • One should give back to the Earth that which has been taken.
  • In organic farming this comes through composting.
  • A compost bin/pile can be constructed according to any method.
  • While layering the organic materials in the compost pile as per the chosen method, Agnihotra ash is added.
  • Agnihotra ash energizes the material as it decomposes, giving the earth (with which it is treated) subtle energies to aid growth.

Applications in Homa Organic Farming

  • Homa organic farming is non-violent agriculture (AHIMSAK KRISHI).
  • In Homa Organic Farming we do not kill anything, not even so-called dangerous pests.
  • All insects, viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc. are a part of Nature and have their role to play.
  • Agnihotra and Homa Therapy encourage balance in Nature and plant growth.
  • All species come into balance with each other.
  • The so-called dangerous pests are controlled by predators (friends of the farmer) which appear automatically in a balanced environment.

tea

“We used to have several types of infection in our tea garden, ranging from fungal to bacterial to various types of pests. In addition, when the tea bushes were pruned to the roots, the new sprouting leaves were infected by pests which used to curl the leaves and we used to lose a lot of good leaves.”

mango

“In India, most of the mango varieties are alternate bearers, which means that they give fruits only every other year. The mango variety Dashehari is also an alternate bearer. Together with a group of 20 farmers I have initiated Homa Organic Farming in mangos in the Unnao district, which is famous for the cultivation of Dashehari variety.”
