Homa Gardening

While Homa farming has been found to yield excellent and sometimes amazing results, not everyone can maintain a full Homa farm; a number of disciplines must be observed, and at least several people are usually needed to meet the requirements. However, home gardeners have experienced wonderful results when Agnihotra and other Homa fires are done in or near their gardens. –Ed.

Mango Homa

The mango harvest season here usually runs April–September, with a second cycle from December–March. This year, yields in the surrounding area were quite poor. Yet our mango tree benefited from daily Agnihotra at sunrise and sunset, plus regular Tryambakam Homa. Ash from the fires is also applied to nearby trees and ornamental plants. The result? A mango tree so full of fruit that its branches bend to the ground. The harvest is abundant and uniform, and the sugar mangoes are exquisite.

I would also like to share a technique: if we place water near where Homa fires are practiced, that water becomes highly healing. When combined with Agnihotra ash and then consumed by people, plants, or animals, it accelerates the healing process. OM SHREE.

I have been an Agnihotri for 12 years. Since moving into my current home about 18 months ago, I built a mini-garden of just 3.5 × 3.5 meters (~10 m²). With regular Homa fires, there is always something to harvest. Results have been remarkable: Swiss chard produces giant, tasty leaves; zucchini plants continue to fruit heavily even past their natural cycle; and all plants thrive with the energy of the fires and the application of sieved Agnihotra ash.

At 2500m altitude, I cultivate kale, lettuces, chives, coriander, parsley, zucchini, Swiss chard, beets, celery, dandelion, and medicinal herbs like mint and nettle. Some herbs are also used in plant-based cosmetics, my profession. Flowers such as lavender, sunflowers, and ataco also thrive. In such a small space, the Homa fires make it possible to grow food and medicine sustainably.

I maintain a compost system where kitchen scraps and garden waste are layered with soil and Agnihotra ash. It stays clean, odor-free, and produces rich compost for continued planting.

(It is recommended to spread Agnihotra ash on soil during planting and transplanting. Ash from Om Tryambakam and Vyahruti Homa may be used on existing plants, lawns, and larger areas. –Ed.)

During the month of August 2022, a volunteer program was offered to a group of students from the Technician in Ecological Agriculture career course. There were 14 people who participated for 3 days in Bhargava Dham, located in the Elqui Valley.

During the program there was outstanding support provided by
Carlos Bustamante and Milena
:
-Daily practice of Sunrise and Sunset Agnihotra
-Daily practice Gayatri Mantra at noon
-Pruning Fruit orchard: fig, pear, apricots trees.
-Application of compost and Agnihotra ash.
-Fivefold Path Workshop.
-Sanskrit and Mantras workshop.

In addition, the volunteer students enjoyed the Cochiguaz River and pursued relaxation and recreation activities.

The main objective of this visit was to EXPERIENCE the practice and discipline of Homa Therapy and its application in agriculture, through fun, participatory activities that allow the volunteer to personally and collectively experience the applicability of the effects of a Homa environment and in such an important energy point for the planet-

I have been performing Agnihotra since 1974. I am now 86 years. Master Shree Vasant instructed Agnihotris to use Agnihotra Ash Medicine. Monica Koch, a pharmacist in Germany formulated these medicines and wrote a book teaching how to make Agnihotra ash medicine. My husband Victor and I made and used these medicines. To this day I put Agnihotra ash in much of the food I cook and always put in blender drinks. Continue reading “Mimi’s Homa Garden, Baltimore, Maryland, USA”

Horticulture crops must be provided constantly with the necessary nutrition in order to facilitate both growth and development; that means so that it can generate its botanical structures such as the root, stem, leaf, flowers and fruition among others.

Chile is facing the worst drought in its history. Radio Cooperativa, one of the country’s main news stations, warned of the catastrophic situation experienced because of the serious water crisis and agricultural emergency.
It added that according to Greenpeace, “Chile is the country with the greatest water crisis in the entire Western Hemisphere and 76 percent of its territory is affected by drought.”

Homa Organic Farming – Holistic Agriculture

Conventional agriculture is usually spoken of as the agriculture of synthetic agrochemicals, that is, the agriculture of pesticides that make man and the environment sick (i.e. Mother Earth). Fortunately, people are waking up and looking for healthier foods. There is also talk of “modern” agriculture, when in addition to pesticides, herbicides, nematicides, fungicides, and other … “cides”, “genetically improved seeds” are also used. These are called transgenic.

But people are already realizing that these transgenic foods can cause harm, not only to human health but also to the health of all beings: plants, animals, ecosystems, etc. It is necessary to return to a Traditional, Natural and Friendly Agriculture. It is time to promote Family and Community Agriculture to ensure Food Sovereignty since the price of food has increased in many parts of the world.

Experimenting with Homa Fires in Córdoba, Argentina

I have been practicing the Homa fires for several years. I started when the Fukushima disaster happened. I wanted to do something for the planet and for humanity and Homa Therapy can do this in addition to giving me a lot of personal benefits. I really like to share Homa Therapy with other people either in my space or when I go to visit other people. I also participate in the Tryambakam Homa group on new and full moons.
