Agronomist Jorge del Busto’s Observations

Lima, Peru
South America

quinoa
cabbage
chamomile
biosol

Usually it is inconceivable that certain plants may produce in places out of their zone. With Homa Super technology, we have seen how ‘quinoa’ produces high yields with great quality on the coastal area, and even better than in their native mountain area.

The size and diameters of turnips or cabbage can be very large. The size of each fruit, leave, etc. is bigger. The taste and healing qualities of herbs on a Homa farm are very strong. Continue reading “Agronomist Jorge del Busto’s Observations”

Lucas Maya’s Story

Armenia, Colombia
South America

dead tree revived

I am a farmer and practice HOMA Therapy since 1998 when I met Prof. Abel Hernandez. We had a wonderful experience on my farm where a Homa Resonance Point was installed. There was a completely dry tangerine tree that I used to shake in order to collect dry branches for firewood. But Prof. Abel said ‘Lucas, do Agnihotra under the tree, because it might revive.’

I simply smiled, but I did Agnihotra under the tree. I did not think that this tree, which only served for fuel, could have a reaction. But the big surprise came after 15 days – the tree began to show signs that something was happening. Continue reading “Lucas Maya’s Story”

Our Homa Experience in Our Small Garden

Here everything is in good progress. We are sending you some pictures of the vegetables from our little HOMA ORGANIC GARDEN in Amalner city, Maharashtra which is in the dry land region of Central India where temperatures reach up to 48 degrees in summer.

We planted vegetables like lady finger, two different types of gourd, beans, lemons, etc. We do daily sunrise & sunset Agnihotra & regularly some Om Trambakam Homa.

We are also giving the Agnihotra ash & Homa ash regularly to the plants and we are getting beautiful results. The food quality & quantity is really surprising. In the picture you can see the vegetables. We harvest every 2 to 3 days and even though the plot is small, we get enough for our family of 4 and other people who know about our organic Homa garden come to buy our vegies because of their taste and quality. We are sending much love to everyone.

Karin Heschl’s Story – Radioactivity

Graz
Austria

radioactivity

When the Chernobyl nuclear accident happened in 1986, I was a Homa Therapy volunteer and had a farm near Graz in Austria. Immediately after the accident the Austrian Government issued instructions that every farmer had to carry milk and fodder for testing for radioactivity.

When I did this, the inspectors were shocked, because they found only normal radioactivity levels in my milk and fodder samples. The inspectors said it was not possible to have normal radioactivity after Chernobyl. They asked, ‘Is there anything special that you are doing on your farm?’ Continue reading “Karin Heschl’s Story – Radioactivity”

Dora Betancour’s Story

Armenia, Quindio
Colombia, South America

“10 years ago I had a farm which was infested with coffee berry borer, an insect that attacks the coffee seed. I bought the farm hoping to live there and grow food in a self-sustaining manner, but I had very little hope.”

“So before building a house, I had a Homa Resonance Point installed with the Agnihotra and the Tryambakam huts and the resonance columns. Every day, I and the employees did Agnihotra and Tryambakam, sometimes up to 6 hours and 24 hours on a full moon and new moon.”

“The coffee began to change the foliage, the color and became shinier. The stems that had been sick began to have healthy sprouts. And the fruits of the coffee were no more infected with the berry borer. And although the coffee grew on a small piece of land, we had abundance.”

“People began to ask what was happening here, because even the farm next door started to improve and recover from the berry borer.”

(photo shows Mrs. Dora and Mr. Roberto under an annatto tree)

“A committee from the National Federation of Coffee Growers (Federacion Nacional de Cafeteros) came to see the farm and did a quality test of our coffee and asked me for how much I would sell it, because it was of very high quality. They bought my coffee about 6 times.”

“I also had avocado, banana, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, beets, and about 103 varieties of aromatic herbs with a place to dry them and it was beautiful. They never had any fungus. Everything grew with impressive ease. The wildlife was beautiful. The trees were visited by some birds, usually not seen in this region. We also saw animals like the sloth, hanging at the top of the tree. He visited us for 3 months and then suddenly disappeared and later we found him further down in the bamboo field. Those are things that do not happen usually on the farms and people in the region said that something special was going on here.”

“Purposely I did not use any synthetic agrochemicals. All irrigations were done with Agnihotra and Tryambakam ash. I put the ashes in large water tanks with a Yantram and the water was irrigated with sprinklers.”

“Later, after I sold the farm, I moved to a house that had a dry avocado tree in the courtyard. The first thing I did was lop all the dry thatch. It had no leaves, just branches, straw dry branches. Then I began to bathe the tree with Agnihotra ash water and took off lots of the parasitic moss which was eating up the tree. But this was done with the intention of planting a vine called “poet’s eye,” to make this corner of the house flourish. Then suddenly new avocado leaves started sprouting and today we have avocados from this tree. Although it is a very old tree it gives us avocados. I did not think it would recover.”

Gopal Mehta’s Story

Shimla, Himachal Pradesh
India

apples
peaches

Gopal Mehta, a leading apple and stone-fruit orchardist, started experimenting with the environment-friendly mode of farming in the late 1990s in view of the rising cost of inputs and poor returns. Mehta, who is also the chairman of the Himachal Organic Farmers’ Association, maintains that the continuous use of chemical fertilisers and chemical sprays is doing more harm than good to the orchards of Himachal Pradesh.

The Mehta orchard is located near Shimla and the family have being practicing Homa Farming for 4 years. In this area, in the Himalayan Mountains, mainly apples, peaches and for some years also mangoes are being cultivated. The Mehta family has fruit trees: mangoes, apples, plums, peaches, lychees, cherries, etc. and also various kinds of vegetables like cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, beans, peas, tomatoes, eggplants, chilies, herbs, etc.

Here are some of the results they have observed with Homa farming:

  • All the fruits and vegetables have a better quality and exceptional taste.
  • The peaches have an extraordinary size and a foreign buyer recently remarked that he had never eaten such good peaches anywhere before.
  • Since the diseases and pests are controlled by Homa farming techniques, their harvest has increased compared to their neighbors’.
  • It was very remarkable that in a year where there were hardly any apples growing in the whole area, the Mehta family received almost the same amount of harvest as usual.
  • The mango trees of the neighbours suffered from some freezing cold nights while his mango trees did not show any damages.
  • People say that on their farm they are practicing ‘Homa magic’.

Engineer Gilberto Navarro is Director of the Center of Organic Agriculture of the Government of the Province of Guayas, Ecuador.

“We decided to combine the technology of organic agriculture with the technology of Homa Farming when Maria de Belen Cajas, a University student, came for internship. She supplied the Agnihotra ash. She and her parents, the architects Alejandro and Estefania Cajas have been practising Agnihotra for many years.”
