VEDAS - The Revealed Knowledge Some people say that life is suffering. When you are born you cry. As you grow up, you fall many times and we may go from physical falls to emotional and mental ones. Even though you manage to get up most of the times, as you fall you experience pain. Then, you lose your dear ones. This is pain. As you get old, you can get sick, this is also pain. Dying might be painful for some due to the attachment to the body. Yes, breaking up relationships is painful in many cases. Can we change the chain of events? Yes, we can, up to a certain point. But certain events are unavoidable. Can we stop the pain associated to them? The answer is yes, yes, yes.
Through the right mental training, we don’t have to drown in the water of emotions. We can walk over it. The answer is in the Vedas. What are the Vedas?
At the beginning of Creation, man was given a handbook to live in harmony with nature and himself. This is called the Vedas. The term ‘Veda’ comes from the root ‘VID’, to know. The word Veda means ‘Knowledge’. The Vedas are the Eternal Truth revealed by God to the Great Rishis. The word Rishi means Seer, from Dris, to see. The Rishi is the Mantra-Drashta, Seer of Mantra (thought). He saw the truth or heard (Shruti) truths. So, the truths of the Vedas are Revelations. The Rishis did not invent the Vedas. He discovered the Eternal Truth. The Vedas are not the composition of any human mind. The Vedas are the embodiment of Divine Knowledge. The books may be destroyed, but the Knowledge cannot be destroyed. It is eternal.
By the way, the truth contained in all religions is derived from the Vedas.
Mahashree Gajanan Maharaj resuscitated the Vedas and now Agnihotra is available to everyone for happy living.
The disciple asks the teacher:
Why have I not reached self-realization, if I meditate every day?
The teacher says: Chances are that there are many factors depending on each individual case, however patience is important. Let’s ask ourselves:
What thoughts and emotions do you fill your mind and heart with throughout the day?
( put a check mark )
a) money
b) sex
c) entertainment
d) food
e) power
f) fame
g) selfish work
h) physical body (beauty, health, sports, etc.)
i) fashion, vanity (gold, diamonds, clothes, etc)
j) car, house, plants, animals, people
k) past memories
l) fantasies (day dreams, night dreams, etc.)
m) etc.
Or are you saturating your mind and heart with thoughts and emotions that link us to:
a) God, Satguru
b) Jesus, Mother Mary
c) Saints
d) Meditation, Mantras, etc. (Tapa)
e) Self inquiry (Swadhaya)
f) Unselfish work (Karma), Vikarma
g) Daana
h) Yagnya (Agnihotra, Homas)
i) etc.

Editor's Note continued:
What is your first thought when you wake up?
What is your last thought when you go to bed?
“As you think, so you become.”
Thoughts become words and actions -> tendencies -> character -> destiny
Our Birthright is to become ONE with the Almighty, to become ONE with ALL.
(Maybe, we are already One ????)
We have free will, we can choose to be consumed by the transitory illusions or we can listen to MAHASHREE GAJANAN MAHARAJ when HE gave us the easy way out of the vicious cycles of life and death.

(Sapta Shloki – Vs. 7) Purport: Be engrossed in the Fivefold Path of Yagnya, Daana, Tapa and Swadhyaya. These are the Eternal Principles of Religion given through the Vedas.
Agnihotra can help to break the CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH
and bring us back to the Source.
Healing with Homa Therapy
A happy Noma Casmos with her friends Abel and Ivy.
Noma Casmos, 74 years of age, at her 1st Agnihotra meeting in Albuquerque. She came with a walker, that served at the same time also as a wheelchair. Her hand was bandaged, due to an operation that had left her with pain and without the strength to hold a glass or do anything with her hand. She was suffering from pain all over her body for more than three years, but specially her back and arms hurt after an accident.
She received the healing power of 10 pyramids and took the Agnihotra ash home. After taking a bath and using the Agnihotra ash all over her body, she felt so good, she did not want to go to bed. But she slept 10 hours straight (she used to get up 2 or 3 times at night).
Two days later at the Agnihotra gathering in Santa Fe, Noma Casmos came to gave her testimony of healing. She had left her wheelchair at home. She got up from the chair without any help; she could walk without any help; she had gotten out of bed like a healthy person (normally she needed half an hour); she could even cross her legs and she could hold a glass with her fingers and use her hand. And the most important thing is that the pain had disappeared. She is very happy and grateful to the Divine. To see video clip of Noma Casmos click:
"Tapovan" Homa Farm
Parola, Dist: Jalgaon, Maharashtra
• Honey bees are dying on a mass scale in all parts of the world.They cannot get enough nutrition to survive.
• Bees are needed for eco-balance on the planet. Even if we employ all known methods of improving soil and sustainable organic agriculture, the bees will still be dying. This is a big threat to agricultural production.
• In Tapovan 6 hectare Homa farm there are more than 25 natural hives of wild bees (see pictures).
• Inborn in the honeybee are certain hormones that are produced solely in Homa atmosphere.
• This subject is foreign to anything science has encountered so far in this respect. These hormones help the nutritional levels yielded in vegetables and fruits to yield at much increased rates.

"Tapovan" Homa Farm
Parola, Dist: Jalgaon, Maharashtra
• We planted turmeric during monsoon season, 2006.
• Turmeric is not usually grown in our area.
• Turmeric is a food spice and also a medicine (nature's antibiotic)
• We planted the small section of quarter acre (0.1 ha) between the Agni Shala and the Yajnya Shala.
• We sprayed the crop several times during the season with Biosol solution.
• Biosol is an important part of Homa Organic Farming. It is a very powerful natural fertilizer which contains Agnihotra ash.
• After 8 months the crop was ready for harvesting.
• Harvest from quarter acre yielded 1.52 tonnes which means 6.1 tonnes per acre
• Average dryland harvest with agro-chemicals is about 4 tonnes per acre.
• No artificial agro-chemicals are used on a Homa Farm.
Spring Mystery: Where Are All the Bees?
Scientists and beekeepers are wondering why bee populations have suddenly fallen.
ABCNEWS.com By MIGUEL MARQUEZ
April 1, 2007
It is a mystery causing heated debate in the world of beekeeping: What's wrong with the bees? Why are they suddenly and without warning leaving their colonies -- and disappearing almost overnight -- by the millions in the United States, Canada and Europe?
Nationwide, there are 2.4 million bee colonies that are used in agriculture to pollinate everything from almonds to fruits to flowering plants. Beekeepers estimate that 600,000, about 25 percent of the colonies, have been affected by the mysterious disappearance. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that 27 states from New York to California are now affected by the bee mystery.On Capitol Hill this week, Congress heard from beekeepers, scientists and government officials.
Beekeepers complained that the basic science of what is happening to the bees isn't being done. Officials with the Department of Agriculture testified that they have collected samples of bees but they don't have the money to process them. David Ellingson, a commercial beekeeper from Minnesota, called this year "catastrophic" and said money is needed immediately to research the mystery.
Beekeepers can only guess at the cause. Some blame an insecticide called Gaucho, because it has the effect of disorienting insects. Others say it's the effects of drought or a warmer than normal winter. And still other beekeepers say that keeping bees is a complex task and less-experienced keepers are making basic mistakes.
Joe Traynor, a bee broker in California's Central Valley who has kept bees for 40 years, said beekeepers must be precise if their colonies are going to survive.
"If you don't treat at the right time, if you don't supplemental feed … you're not going to have a strong colony," he said. "It's constant work. Before, you could just leave you bees. But if you're not at your bees every two or three days, your colony is going to suffer."
California almond growers may have the most to worry about. Pollination of California's vast almond groves is the main event of beekeeping nationwide. It takes about one million colonies of bees to pollinate the almond trees; in total that's about 30 billion bees -- many of them trucked in from across the country
Paul Wenger of the California Farm Bureau testified that "bees are the unsung heroes of our state's important almond industry that has an annual farm value of more than $2.5 billion."
Wenger added that more than honey and almonds are at stake.In California, bees pollinate "melons, cherries, avocados, Bartlett pears, bushberries, kiwi, many apple varieties, cucumbers, plums, prunes, pumpkin, squash, ornamental plants, and dozens of vegetable and flower seeds," said Wegner.
The biggest pain so far is being felt by beekeepers. Favorable weather and enough bees has groves throughout California now bursting with almonds.
Other growers have so far not reported major problems with getting their crops pollinated. That said, beekeepers warn that diminishing bee colonies will affect the price of honey and eventually the price of produce. of course things could always get worse.
Albert Einstein, quoted in Germany's Der Spiegel, once said, "if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
April 22, 2007 ORION Message regarding the urgency of beekeeping:
On every Homa farm there must be bees. The art of beekeeping is one which is absolutely urgent to be learned and passed on. In Homa environment, bees should be able to survive where in all other environments now, they will disappear. Disease is not necessarily the issue here. The bees are simply disappearing. Therefore, Homa farms are the only answer. Yes, yes. Purchase bees and hives and learn immediately all that is needed to maintain them, the Homa farming way. Indeed, begin with minimum two, maximum three at this time. Later, there can be more added. This is of utmost importance for the eco balance on the farm. All other Homa farms in existence should consider this an urgent matter and begin with beekeeping at once.

Patience is a virtue which should be inculcated. Patience will carry you further in life. Patience tempers expectation and gives one the breathing room one needs for spiritual development to take place.
When one meets the Sadguru, it is never what is called a 'chance encounter.' It is always a blessing and often a turning point in one's life. All lives, past and present, sit before HIM as He gently rearranges the molecules and cells of the body with one Hand held before you in blessings.
Your job is to LOVE. So it is very easy job with high pay. The more you love the more Grace comes your way.

Yes, yes. Risk of diseases, particularly from contaminated water supply, is greater now than ever before. Whole cities will be advised not to drink the water and eventually, they will be advised not to use the water for bathing and washing. This has extremely serious implications. How does one living in a city create one’s own water supply? At that point, people will be rushing to the outlying areas to live, in order to survive the contamination and resultant diseases it causes.
Those of you who are considered ‘Eco Pioneers’ now and thought of as foolish for leaving city comforts and lifestyle for country life, will be besieged by requests for assistance. Many will, at that point, not have the skills or awareness to begin to forge a life of self-sufficiency in rural areas. They will not come equipped with a well-trained ‘green thumb’ or a working knowledge of organic farming, home building, or herbs for healing. But by absolute necessity, they will be drawn to this lifestyle.
Create such farms now which, if possible, can be expanded to provide sanctuary to those in need. Some will come with economic awareness and financial means, but without your knowledge they will be lost. Particularly the healing benefits of HOMA fire and ash will be incomparable in a world where allopathic medicines have lost their efficacy.
Paradoxically, as allopathic medicines lose their ability to be effective in curing disease, and the world becomes more disease-prone, the power of AGNIHOTRA ASH to heal illnesses will increase dramatically!
Store your Ash in copper, glass, ceramic and the like…never in plastic, never in metal. Keep only pure Agnihotra Ash for medicinal purposes. Distribute it freely.
Remember these days are already knocking at your door. The future is NOW. Be prepared.
OM.
