I want to share with you the almost sinister arrival in Pereira by plane from Bogotá and the Miracle of Sapta Shloki:

At 7:45 pm, the captain of the aircraft announced:
“Crew, we have begun our descent to the city of Pereira.”
Shortly after, he announced “We are having difficulty landing” and the lights were turned on. They said nothing else... Long minutes passed, and people asked, “What could be the problem?  “Announce something”… others shouted! Suddenly we heard:
 “We ask for your cooperation. Please do not turn on cell phones or other devices” … The bell rang. We had already

The plane climbed rapidly and they announced: “We will have to fly for half an hour.”
What half an hour... it was 50 minutes that the plane flew as if making a figure eight, moving intensely. The children began to cry... little ones and big ones... they screamed and cried desperately. Meanwhile, in the cabin, the use of cell phones was prohibited and the flight attendants ran back and forth checking if this instruction was followed, while many shouted harsh words at the

pilot and his assistants.
Others prayed... cried silently... collective hysteria in the back, the front, and the middle!
 
There was Despair and uncertainty for an hour. Then they announced “We are trying to go to an alternate airport in Cali." … Nothing could be seen. And they announced: “¡Excuse us, we are low on fuel!
The plane used up its supply...!"
Everyone started screaming... there was a lot of congestion!
 
I was caught between watching and feeling! I prayed... I opened my eyes and saw a young person devotedly praying. I felt compelled to join in the PRAYER, with immense gratitude to God, and as I asked myself what the Master would do, it occurred to me to recite the SAPTA SHLOKI!
Just when finishing the Sapta Shloki... the bell rang... “Dear crew, we now have conditions to land in Pereira!”
There were shouts and cries, people were very moved, mixed feelings and announcements of “please do not turn on your cell phones”. It was a long moment between the announcement and the feeling of the tires touch the runway. We almost didn't stop applauding! Once on the platform... the hysteria continued.
 
They announced “Please remain seated, the plane has to go in for refueling immediately!” Some people went forward a little later and demanded that the plane door be opened because the disembarking tunnel had been pulled up!
The captain and flight attendants kept announcing that we should remain seated, but no one listened. We all got off the plane, ha ha ha! People left before collecting their luggage to meet their waiting relatives. Many had managed to report what was happening above, amid dark clouds, downpours, bad weather, and despair!
 
My children came to pick me up and tracked the flight from the moment they announced its delay due to bad weather. It was already 10:30 pm, and they said they had seen the plane circling for 50 minutes!
 
Sorry, this story got a little long... It's impossible to convey the intensity and experience of each person!
Thank you, it was therapeutic for me to tell you about it! With such revealing Divine Assistance!
This is to Affirm and Ratify the POWER of the GRACE in the SACRED MANTRA
SAPTA SHLOKI! I have no doubt that it was a true miracle before our eyes.
Even today, I am still very moved! OM SHREE
 
What a BLESSING for humanity to have this Mantra received by MAHA SHREE!
Infinite gratitude to Prof. Abel for teaching us Agnihotris this powerful and beautiful Mantra.
 

 
“Homa Farming practices are used in treating the atmosphere, the soil, plants and to prevent/treat pest and disease problems. One can grow maximum yield out of minimum agricultural area and keep the soil fertile, water pure and the atmosphere nutritious by practicing HOMA Therapy Farming techniques.”

"The poison was never forced.
It was offered gently,
until you forgot
it was poison at all."

BIG AGRICULTURE
Problem Is Getting Worse

 Nitrate from fertilizer and manure befouls countless waterways and kitchen taps across the US. But unlike other big polluters, from petroleum to plastics, Big Agriculture has largely avoided responsibility for its dirty footprint.

“A child who is given a strong foundation will do well growing up, even in the world today. Just because we face disaster coming in various natural phenomena, this does not mean we cannot turn our thoughts and our attention to our children.
Give them all the love and total acceptance. This does not mean you let them do anything they want. Discipline should be firm but never harsh. Try to stay away from any physical punishment as regular form of discipline. Try to use reason in any approach towards you child. Write stories with your child, draw, play music, dance, sing.”
 
- Master Shree Vasant -

“Observance of truthfulness in day-to-day dealings is the alpha of any spiritual discipline. When we decide to don the armour of truthfulness in thought, word and deed, whatever be the consequences, we experience an inner strength.
We notice that people who come near us are less inclined to tell lies.
Love pervades the atmosphere and harmony sets in.”
 
- Master Shree Vasant -

“Learn to think in a positive manner.
Do not find fault with yourself as well as with others.
Once you become more accepting of yourself
you will be better able
 to accept the differences of others.”

 
-Master Shree Vasant-

“In the future, the world will be made up in small communities.
They should be self-sufficient.
A certain part of Vedas will be assigned to each of the communities.
So together we can share and utilize
 this ancient knowledge among the one culture which lives SATYA SANATAN DHARMA, true and Eternal religion.”

Bernd Frank (Baba Bernd) and Agnihotra in France:
 
An Agnihotra teaching seminar with secondary fires (Vyahruti and Tryambakam Homa) took place from December 12 to 15, 2025, at a private castle in Bruailles, France.
It was the 16th country visited by Frank from the ‘Homa Hof Heiligenberg’ in southern Germany.
 
 Sixty-one participants from different parts of France and Belgium attended this three-day workshop on this Vedic Homa fire technique in a healing and family-like atmosphere. Interpreters provided simultaneous translation.
One woman arrived on crutches due to severe hip and knee pain, but already after one day, she no longer needed those and was pain-free.

“Every moment is a precious opportunity to serve the Divine.
If the mind is constantly affirming the Holy with Mantra, then all will be done as is His Will and no one else's.”

 
-Shree Vasant-

“The true disciple is not always the frowning one bent over the scriptures but often he is the court jester whose job is to make light.”


- Master Shree Vasant -

“Message is simple.
Love thy neighbor as thyself. Truly love. Then life is complete. Be constantly acting in the spirit of service. Then other thoughts are irrelevant.
In marriage, think always of the other person’s needs, whatever they are.”
 
- Master Shree Vasant -

We seek the blessings of Vaishvānara Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan Maharaj and Gurudev Shree Vasant Paranjpe.
 
The Vaishvānara Fire is described in the Vedas as the flame that shines in all living beings.
 
It is also the force that digests our food, gives our body strength, and awakens wisdom in our minds. Through this Yajña, we honour that inner light, and we pray for the well-being of our families, our society, and the world.

 If we were not somewhat fearful of what we might find, might uncover by looking, feeling and diving within, WE WOULD JUST DO IT (or at least do more of it).
 
WHAT, ME WORRY? was a mantra of sorts of the mid-1960s. Alfred E. Neuman of Mad Magazine fame was/is the major proponent of this. The updated version of DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY took it to a higher level, but hinted that if I eliminate—or at least greatly reduce—fear and worry, happiness might manifest.
 
And Shree Vasant said, though all of us wish to be and strive for happiness all the time, no one seems to have accomplished the feat. Hence, the need for Agnihotra.
 
As for ‘false expectations appearing real,’ since, by definition, an expectation is future oriented, staying in the moment should automatically eliminate expectations.
 
We wrote earlier that Fivefold Path is simple, but not easy. The simplicity comes with the clarity that the Path is made up of the five steps we have outlined.
 
Of course, the first and greatest step—YAJNYA & AGNIHOTRA—wasn’t mentioned but is the mechanism that opens the door to all that follow.
 
Another way out of the ‘misery that is yet to come’ as well as FEAR is to prioritize—if not dedicate—your life to SERVICE—service of the less fortunate amongst us, to the health of the planet, to God, really, and to all sentient beings.
 
Now as it is said that giving Daan to a righteous person is “safe,” so it is with service. And we all know who is on the brink, who is in need.
 
Service to others pulls us out of the self-absorbed, bubble we often find ourselves in.
 
So, it all comes down to an absence of fear and an abundance of love. Why indulge in fear, anxiety and worry if it is an obvious impediment to love?
 
Without Agnihotra, it may still be possible to overcome difficulties. But as our lives are not dress rehearsals, why not maximize our chances for success? Indeed. Why not?

 
The oldest traditions say that there is only one heart, and that every being—human, animal, plant, mountain—is a spark beating within that One Heart.
We are not separate: we are fibers of the same fabric that breathes, dreams, and evolves.
 
When we understand this, we also understand that everything we think, feel, or do vibrates beyond ourselves.
Every breath affects the field.
Every emotion changes the frequency of the planet.
Every conscious act illuminates much more than our own lives.
 
In this philosophy, the heart is not an organ:
it is a cosmic antenna, a primordial drum that sets the rhythm of the universe.
When our heart is in coherence—calm, present, confident—we resonate with the heart of the Earth, and life responds from that same frequency.
 
And it is precisely here that Homa Therapy becomes a luminous bridge
 
The Homa Fire is not an ordinary fire.
It is a fire that orders, purifies, and remembers.
When we feed it with Mantras, intention, and the simple devotion of being present, things happen that science is only beginning to understand:
the electromagnetic field harmonizes, vital energy rises, and the environment regains a purer resonance.
 
But the true mystery of the Homa Fire is not in the flame.
It is in the heart of the one who lights it.
 
Because when we light a fire with awareness, we also light our own inner temple.
And then alchemy occurs:
our heart begins to beat at the same rhythm as the fire, and the fire begins to beat at the rhythm of the One Heart.
 
A sacred triangle is created:
-- the Earth that receives
-- the heart that radiates

 
-- the fire that transmutes
 
That triangle not only purifies the space:
it purifies the frequency.
 
The heart enters into coherence.
The mind becomes still.
The breath becomes a bridge.
The vibration rises.
 
And from that state, life begins to settle.
Not because the world changes overnight, but because the resonance from which we inhabit it is transformed.
 
Homa Therapy is therefore a way of remembering the most ancient truth:
-That we are all part of the same heartbeat, that there is no separation,
-That love is not an emotion, but a vibration that sustains the entire universe.
-When our heart is harmonized, the world is put in order.
-When a single being lights a Fire with presence, many lives receive the light.
-When we remember that we are part of the One Heart,
existence ceases to feel heavy and becomes once again a path, a purpose, and a home.
 
Because in their deepest essence, both the heart and the Homa Fire teach us the same thing:
True healing occurs when we resonate again with what we have always been: light, unity, and love in motion.
 

 
During this holiday season, when much of humanity gives and exchanges gifts, especially to children, it's common to see young children fixed on the wrapping paper or the box of the toy they have received. Sometimes weeks pass before they, independently or with an adult's help, overcome their fascination with the packaging and become aware of the 'object' inside.
 
Similarly, but with far more significant consequences, it seems that humanity today is dazzled by the abundance of objects and conveniences that modern technology provides. Certainly, some products satisfy basic needs, while others fulfill more artificial and subtle needs of a mental nature, such as prestige, recognition, and power. But, paradoxically, the complex body-mind is merely the vessel (also the vehicle, the medium, the instrument) of a being who, inhabiting that human body, comes to fulfill a specific purpose.
 
Our current way of life, increasingly detached from nature, disregards the natural balance of the planet's energy cycles. This sustained and widespread behavior now threatens to destroy the biosphere and humanity.
 
In previous article, we saw that Christmas is very special because it coincides with the anniversary of the date on which Avatar Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan Maharaj confirmed that he was a being of a higher order, who had descended to our dimension to reiterate and remind human beings how to free ourselves from confusion and suffering, and to be happy; that is, to fulfill their mission and achieve self-realization.
 
Master Vasant tells us:
 
“Whenever the eternal principles of religion, revealed through the Vedas, are transgressed on a large scale, terrible resultant karma results. Messengers of the Almighty, incarnations, grace our planet by their appearance. It is their assigned task is

  
to set things right and show the Light to people by their own lives. 
 
They deliver the Eternal Message of “Love your neighbor as yourself,” emphasizing the aspects that are needed, and in the language most appropriate to the times in which we live. Their message has universal application.”
 
In this era where what we call scientific knowledge has the potential, and increasingly the evidence, to demonstrate to humankind the need to modify its current way of living and surviving, Shree Gajanan has pointed out that we must turn our eyes to the comprehensive scientific knowledge delivered in the Vedas, to recover the purity of our atmosphere, an essential condition for the viability of life and for our minds to be purified in order to remember and turn our attention towards fulfilling the purpose of human life: TO GIVE THE LOVE THAT LIES WITHIN.
 
Modern science is reaching increasingly subtle levels and dimensions of what we call the workings of life. The Vedas are a repository of comprehensive science that includes the science of sciences, the Science of the Soul.
 
Just as a child need someone to point out the "gift" inside the wrapping, humanity, deeply confused, needs the presence of a Higher Being to remind it of its contents and purpose. The path to remembering this and to creating channels of communication with the being that lies within the complex body-mind, is the Fivefold Path of the Vedas.
 
 
Master Vasant was blessed by Shree Gajanan with the mission to spread and reactivate the knowledge of the Fivefold Path throughout the planet so that people may have peace, prosperity, and happiness. For a planetary problem, a planetary solution is needed, and hopefully, every human being, by overcoming ignorance, selfishness, and relationships of domination, can serve this universal purpose.
