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.

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.)

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.”

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.

Advances of Homa Farming in Satsang Farm, Curacavi, Chile

by Carolina Morales Pavez,
Agricultural Engineer

      The development of organic Homa farming in the Satsang farm,  located in Curacaví-Chile, has had important advances in respect to the agro-ecological design developed by Karina Ohme and Juan José Rodrigues.

      This involves aspects on biological adaptation of the agro-ecosystem through the establishment of a greater diversity of species, in addition to the functional and native flora, the medicinal and aromatic herbs and horticultural crops, important for food.

Canchones Agricultural Experimental Station of Arturo Prat University, Iquique, Chile

Agronomist

During the Spring-Summer season in 2006 – 2007 at the Canchones Experimental Station, belonging to the Arturo Prat University of Iquique-Chile, an experiment was carried out with the cultivation of melon (Cucumis melo, cultivar Arava), under two systems of cultivation: Homa Agriculture and Conventional Agriculture (use of agrochemicals). In this sector, the records under the conventional production system indicate that this crop takes between 5 to 6 months to be ready for harvesting and marketing.
