My Testimony with Homa Therapy and Agnihotra
 
    My experience with Agnihotra has been a true joy for my heart, a blessing for my spirit, and deep nourishment for my soul. This practice has filled my life with peace, serenity, and confidence. It has been a healing tool for my emotional world, helping me transform the anxiety, distress, and moments of depression I once experienced.

 Satsang Farm Curacaví, Chile
Highlighting the Reforestation of Native Species using MicroBiHoma and Agnihotra Ash

By Karina Ohme

     In 2025, the Reforestation program “Honey-Producing Flora to Improve the Sustainability of the Beekeeping Business in the Metropolitan Region”, began in Chile. The project was implemented by the Chilean Forestry Institute (INFOR), a private-law corporation under the Ministry of Agriculture, and funded by the Regional Government of the Metropolitan Region. As a member of the Curacaví Organic Producers and owner of the Satsang farm in Curacaví, I was selected as one of the 32 beneficiaries of this reforestation program using native honey-producing species.

ecosystems. In small spaces, various native species are planted, promoting rapid growth with minimal maintenance after the first two years.

The first application of Agnihotra ash inside the holes took place on June 21, 2025, with approximately one handful of Agnihotra Ash applied to each hole.

I am deeply grateful to the professionals on the team assigned by the Chilean Forestry Institute, who were very flexible and respectful in following all the instructions I provided.

HE BUILT A FIVE-ACRE LAKE TO RAISE FISH AND ENDED UP CREATING A WILD SANCTUARY WHERE EAGLES, DEER, OWLS, AND DUCKS ARRIVED IN JUST 1,000 DAYS

Ecoticias.com, Mayo 29, 2026
   A five-acre pond—just over two hectares—was dug in a former peanut field with a very specific goal in mind.

  To raise fish. Nothing more. But in less than three years, that body of water ended up attracting bald eagles, deer, owls, ducks, raccoons, and other species that began to use the place as if it had always been there. To read more of this inspiring story, click here:

Focus on the Light."

Joy will inspire and uplift others to join in it.
When you sing it is like prayer. So do more of it."

“Our army has to be full of love.
 Do not become so disciplined as to lose sight of JOY. Discipline and joy are not separate or exclusive of each other.”
 
-Master Shree Vasant-

“It is only through consistent effort that one can break through this negative pattern of behavior that causes all his pain and pain in others.
Is it not our position to provide love and acceptance to others?
Is it not our duty? Then where is the question of loving or not loving? Never withdraw your love. Never withhold your love.
This love which is in you is what brings healing to others.”
 
-Master Shree Vasant-

Seth Theodore Butcher from London sent the photo left from his Agnihotra and wrote:

"As the sun rises may the fire burn away that which is impure and no longer helpful on my path to self realisation with grace and ease.

May I continue to learn to love all aspects of myself and no longer project my darkness outside of myself may I use it when necessary. May the darkness come out of the light and may the light come out of the darkness guiding me to realise the oneness of all things.

Have a blessed day all."

The SOMAYAG: “APTORYAM” was held in the village of Vasud in the Sholapur district and lasted 6 days.
It was organized by the “Viswakalyan Seva Mandal” group under the guidance of Babaji Sri Ramana Ji.
A Somayag is a blessing for the entire planet!

and injustices effecting so many of our fellow human beings.

Lest we allow the enormity off the task dissuade us from taking action—note that a journey of 1,000 miles starts with one step. Furthermore, ultimately it is not in our hands anyway.

So each sunrise and each sunset. We devote 10 minutes to regular—or even irregular—performance of Agnihotra.

Those simple acts can propel us—as they have done for untold thousands for 5 decades—to service, peace and perspective.

Is FAITH helpful?
Well, it’s like this:

If the restaurant you’ve been eating at for many years consistently creates magic food, wouldn’t it make sense to implicitly trust if it develops an offshoot catering business?

If Agnihotra has consistently improved your life over years of practice, doesn’t it make sense to trust that benefits to and on environment on a macro scale are possible?
 
As we have been taught that macro, magnificent healing comes from Agnihotra, even though hundreds of rigorous, scientific experiments have not yet been completed—and may not ever be completed—that should not be cause for delay or skepticism.
 
After all, we’ve been dining at this 5-star restaurant for a very long time.
 
We might start with climate, poverty, addiction, crime, governmental corruption and incompetency.
 
Once we have addressed/solved all of this, then we may concentrate on the more direct personal and societal evolutionary practices—meditation, prayer, serving the poor, self-study.

that individually, collectively, and planet wise we are “up a creek without a paddle,” as the American idiom goes.
 
So, we haven’t much to lose that hasn’t already been lost.
 
Dangerous times require difficult, creative, out of the box solutions.
 
Our wooden Agnihotra kits/boxes have come to the rescue.
 
And lest we think doing Agnihotra is a small part of the solution, take note of what Shree Vasant said,
“If you could harness the energy from just ONE AGNIHOTRA, you could power New York City for a year!”.

We take one step and the Divine takes 10 steps for us.

No mud, no lotus
 
This phrase reminds me that life is a sacred game. We play, we learn… and sometimes we get lost in the game. But even when we stray, something deep within continues to guide us.
 
At this point on my journey, I have stopped fearing pain.
I no longer run from it.
I give it space.
I allow it to pass through me and show me why it came.
And that is where I understand the depth of Swadhyaya, the fifth path of the Fivefold Path: the study of oneself; the conscious observation of the inner world.
 
Swadhyaya isn’t just about reading sacred texts.
It’s about learning to read ourselves.
It’s about honestly observing our emotions, reactions, patterns, and silences.
It’s about pausing and looking at what lies behind what we feel.
 
When something hurts, I return to silence.
I pause.
I breathe.
And I observe my own waters.
 
I have learned that not everything needs to be resolved immediately. There are processes that need to be lived through. And in that loving observation, true alchemy begins: what seemed like darkness begins to reveal wisdom.
 
Thus, little by little, I come to understand that every emotion, every breakdown, and every shadow is part of the path back to myself.
I do not reject anything that dwells within me, because even the most uncomfortable brings with it a lesson.
 
Swadhyaya invites us precisely to that:
to stop running away from ourselves and begin to look at ourselves with presence.

Without judgment.
Without masks.
Without the need to appear perfect.
 
And then something profound happens: when we stop resisting and begin to understand, pain ceases to feel like punishment and becomes a teacher.
 
I know that many souls are going through intense processes these days. Moments that stir us, that confront us, that invite us to look deeper. That is why today I want to remind you of something: even in the midst of the mud, something sacred is blooming.
 
Stay.
Breathe.
Observe yourself with love.
Trust the process.
 
Because there is no lotus without mud… there is no awakening without awareness… There is no alchemy without surrender.
 
Swadhyaya is the sacred art of turning our gaze inward and discovering that, even within our shadows, light dwells. Because we are light, and we are love.
That is why today I want to remind you of something:
“you are not lost”.
Even if you cannot see clearly, there is a greater intelligence guiding the way.
 
Stay.
Breathe.
Trust in what is unfolding.
 
Because even in the midst of the mud…
life is always preparing for blossoming.
 
There is no lotus without mud, and there is no alchemy without surrender.
 
Swadhyaya is the sacred art of turning our gaze inward and discovering that, even in our shadows, light dwells. Because We are Light and We are Love

“I WILL RESURRECT THE VEDAS.”

On May 17th, we celebrate the birth anniversary of Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan Maharaj (Shree Gajanan), the avatar for these times, and on the 13th., the birth anniversary of Vasant V. Paranjpe, Master Vasant, the Messenger, whom Shree Gajanan commissioned to carry his Message to all the people of planet Earth.
 
Why do these times require the descent of a Special Being to the planet? Master Vasant tells us in his book on the “Sapta Shloki” (The Seven Verses):
 
“Whenever there are large-scale transgressions, either due to sins of omission, i.e., non-performance of ordained duties, or sins of commission, i.e. wrong performance, terrific resultant Karma takes place. To set right the cosmic cycle, special Divine Incarnations, Divine Messengers, grace our planet by manifestations in human garb. This is beyond intellectual reason but can be experienced when intellect is transmuted into higher intuition as the result of purgation.”
 
“Parama Sadguru Gajanan Maharaj, is the current link in the chain of incarnations. Conditions today present a totally different picture from anything in known history. Time and Space have been abridged due to technology. Speed has become the essence of everything, irrespective of the message it carries. Technology has given man weapons to blow human existence to smithereens. Fear seeps through all international communication. The sense of insecurity is rampant. Everybody feels there is nothing to fall back on.  POLLUTION is taking a dastardly toll of human existence. Everyone is lonely, tl1ough moving in a surging crowd. THE VOID MUST BE FILLED WITH LOVE VIBRATIONS. Science has brought humanity together. We swim or sink together. People are to be aided in getting out of the rut in which they have landed

themselves due to wrong orientation.”
 
Today it is widely known that THE ECOLOGICAL, ETHICAL, AND WELFARE EMERGENCY IS A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH. We know that something must change to avoid destroying our habitat and jeopardizing our survival and evolution.
 
We saw that Shree Gajanan, in September 1944, declared:
 
“I WILL RESUSCITATE THE VEDAS.”
 
That same day, Shree Gajanan gifted us with the "Sapta Shloki”, “The Seven Verses," a divine composition that concisely explains the essential content of the Vedas and why it is necessary today to revive the practice of these Eternal Principles for a happy life on Earth.
 
SAPTA SHLOKI
 
Verse 1
Along with creation, Almighty Father revealed the eternal principles of Religion (Law) embodied in four Vedas.
 
Verse 2
What is good Karma, what is the spiritual path? If you wish to know, of all the sciences and writings, SHRUTI (Vedas) is the standard reference.
 
Verse 4
Of all the writings of Rishis, Vedas is the standard reference. Extract the essence for thy eternal benevolence.
 
Verse 7
Be engrossed in the practice of Yajnya, Daan, Tapa Karma and Swadhyaya, the Fivefold Path. This is the Eternal Religion given through Vedas.
 
“The Vedas are the most ancient composition known to man. The Vedas are the first revelation given to mankind. Vedic wisdom penetrated through all civilizations. No group of people, no country can lay exclusive claim to the inheritance of Vedic wisdom nor to the Sanskrit language.

Yet Truth is open to anyone who seeks in right earnest.”
 
“Vedas shed light on all aspects of creation. They describe the various tiers of energy. They also enunciate a path for harmonious functioning of this energy manifestation which results in peace and prosperity. In the Vedas, we find therein revealed knowledge embracing the totality of Creation. The Vedas are the most authentic source of knowledge, and if the scientist reorientates his search in the light of this knowledge, he stands to benefit much in his endeavor.”
 
In the Vedas, what we now call science, religion, and philosophy are fused into a holistic knowledge.
 
The Teachings of the Vedas indicate that human happiness is intimately related to the harmony between one's way of life and the environment in which one lives. We are part of the Biosphere and have a function, duties, to fulfil its sustainability and continuity, and to achieve our self-realization. There is an intimate relationship between the Light we can offer with our thoughts, words, and actions and what Creation needs to remain cohesive and fully operational.
 
Ancient Science recognized the paramount importance of atmosphere integrity for peace, serenity, clarity, and the capacity for discernment, for exercising our free will, and thus, living in harmony with the biosphere and achieving fulfillment. The Vedas provide us with specific processes for purifying the atmosphere and instruct us on how to apply them.
 
Over the last two centuries, a significant and growing portion of the world's population has adopted a lifestyle that is destroying the biosphere, using technology that disregards the planet's energy cycles. Current science has not yet fully grasped the planet's denser energy cycles, much less its more subtle ones.
 
For our current lifestyle and the technology in use, maintaining the integrity of the atmosphere has not been relevant until now, perhaps due to ignorance, pride, or vested interests.

The uncontrolled and increasing pollution we are generating has degraded the atmosphere and the biosphere to such an extent that the sustainability and continuity of life are dramatically threatened. This profoundly altered environment cannot provide us with the peace and the necessary energy for good mental and physical health.

The Fivefold Path - Yajnya, Daan, Tapa, Karma and Swadhyaya - from Verse 7, provides the action plan, the roadmap, the complete process of how to live, to free ourselves from that which prevents us from reacting with love to all what we must live. This program allows us to regain the control that the usurper (ego) exerts over our vehicle – instrument - means and liberate the ‘evicted’ human being who seeks fulfillment, and get closer to the path that leads back to the Father's House.
 
We saw earlier that planet Earth is a school where human beings can learn to manifest the Light (Love) that lies within their hearts. For this to happen, it is necessary that planet Earth continue to have a healthy biosphere that shelters us and our fellow students so that, together, we can overcome the different levels and visualize on the horizon Our Home, the one that has always been within us, even if we couldn't see it.
 
Our neighbors are our fellow trainees, our fellow students, who help us revive those special situations in which we find it difficult to react with respect, patience, kindness, and a spirit of service.
 
En the process of restoring the atmosphere through the Yajnyas and our actions guided by the Fivefold Path, we can realize that each of us can be a channel, a transmitter of the different shades and colors of Light that the biosphere, we, and our neighbors need to find and recognize our True Abode.

The Avatar reminds us, once again, of our origin, our Divine heritage, and the path to Return Home

Eternal gratitude to Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan and Master Vasant!
