Agnihotra is the ancient Vedic science of 'Homa Therapy'. It's one of
the healing fire practices described in the Vedas and used principally
for healing the environment. This practice helps our planet Earth
through its current man-made difficulties of earth, air and water
pollution.
How
Agnihotra Homa Works?
It's simple, at
sunrise and sunset a massive torrent of Life Energy, in Sanskrit "Prana"
comes from the sun when the first energy rays hit the earth. At all
times, the atmospheric pollution around us, acting as a blanket, this
daily strength of "Prana" received is being reduced and distorted as it
comes through the polluted atmosphere. Agnihotra homa enables the
"Prana" and various other life sustaining and supporting energies to
descend and expand in abundance around us.
All this is a
bio-energy process causing the environment to start healing, slowly and
gradually the atmosphere gets healed. The performers of Agnihotra and
those living within the vicinity are continuously healed by this newly
rejuvenated atmosphere. When this is done regularly, daily homa in the
same area create an energized biosphere with its own 'micro zoned
climate' that is more energized and balanced with natural "Prana" than
surrounding areas.
Twice daily
practice of Homa increases and expand this from 'micro' to macro zoned
climate, gradually engulfing the whole World.
The main intention of Agnihotra Texas is to heal the
whole World with it's daily Homa Therapy and spreading this ancient
knowledge to others encouraging them to do the same for the sake of
future generations to enjoy this Earth Paradise for a very very long
time!
This is a well known
fact, that plants receive their micronutrients through the atmosphere.
These micronutrients are reducing as the environment is getting more and
more populated. Agriculture Scientist have discovered and known this
fact, that when plants grow in polluted conditions, their leaf-veins
change from their natural cylindrical shape to that of an elliptical
one.
As a result of
continued atmospheric pollution, this elliptical shape further reduces
the uptake of atmospheric nutrients thus furthering loss of
productivity. When Agnihotra Homa is performed on a twice daily basis,
the plant veins revert to their natural shape. Pathogenic bacteria are
at their highest concentration at sunset and practicing Agnihotra at
this time greatly reduces the amount of pathogens in the area of the
fire.
The resultant ash of
Agnihotra Homa has highly medicinal qualities. A lot of research is and
has been carried out on this ancient practice particularly by NASA and
Monsanto especially on the properties of this ash.
It is stated in the
Vedas that the resultant or remnant Agnihotra Homa ash has all trace
elements for a perfect balanced life. Agnihotra Homa ash not only has
all elements of the periodic table; but it also has elements not found
in the periodic table which have been found in meteorites that have
landed on earth.
Agnihotra Homa is a
'super-science' for Humankind yet to be fully understood for it's
super-qualities, because, while much of what happens around us can be
measured with instrumentations and the beneficial effects of performing
Agnihotra Homa can be seen in the environment, not all is
understood from a scientific perspective. Science needs to develop to
understand Agnihotra Homa!
How
to Practice Agnihotra Homa?
Agnihotra Homa is
very easy to learn and needs little equipment.
It is a twice daily
practice performed once at sunrise and the other at sunset using a small
fire lit in an inverted copper pyramid. The fire is fuelled with dried
cow dung and ghee (clarified butter) and accompanied by two short
Sanskrit mantras and offering of pinch-full grains of brown rice mixed
with ghee. Thereafter, meditating in silence until the fire is
extinguished.
The combination of
the mantra and the subtle energies produced within the pyramid by the
fire and the 'Pranic' forces (energetic cosmic forces) at work produced
by the sun rising and setting create conditions to eradicate the
pollution from the surrounding environment. As explained in the Vedas,
the fire energy within the pyramid affects wide area - a radius of 350m,
and 12 Km high. The ash by-product of Agnihotra Homa is extremely
valuable as a fertilizer and has various medicinal properties - for
people, plant, animals and of course the environment!
To perform Agnihotra
exact timing is very important, this coincides with the cosmic energy of
the rising and setting Sun; taking into account the refraction of the
sunlight passing through the earth's atmosphere. This is a Vedic
definition of sunrise and sunset, this Vedic equation does not coincide
with the published times in any newspaper or almanac.
The Vedic Society
of India (website:

definition that calculates the exact Sunrise and Sunset for any given
longitude and latitude.
Where to get Agnihotra
Supplies?
You may be wondering
where to get fresh wet or dry cow dung in or around Dallas, Texas? One
thing is that Texas does not lack is cow dung. You will find cow farms
everywhere, while driving the country and farm to market roads! You can
make a date with a farmer and his cow field and go there prepared with a
bucket and a set of rubber gloves (it can get messy otherwise). Organic
(organic means as dropped by the cow, without human intervention etc.)
cow dung is optimum but not essential. Know this, cow dung smell very
sweet when it is dry. It has many interesting properties including not
holding radioactivity, and has been used as a shield in NASA's
spacecraft capsules!
