Shree Vasant V. Paranjpe

“A single misdeed perpetrated in any corner of the globe will adversely affect the atmosphere. This, in turn, will have deleterious effect on the functioning of human mind. So the circle perpetuates.

That is why peace, like progress, is indivisible. By conscious efforts we have to purify the space dividing the TRILOKAS (three worlds). YAJNYA is a conscious effort made in this direction.

“Our times are graced and sanctified by the living presence of such an Avatar. You have only to act to his bidding and commence treading the Fivefold Divine Path of Satya Dharma preached by the Vedas. This is succinctly expressed by five words Yajnya, Daan, Tapa, Karma, Swadhyaya. If you start in right earnest the day you read this book you will be a witness to the Kingdom of Heaven within you. No power on earth can prevent you from the exercise of your inherent right to happiness endowed to you on the day you were conceived in human frame, if only you make a resolve to comprehend the five Pathways detailed in later chapters and decide to start the journey, whatever be your station in life. The miracle of Grace is yours for the asking if only you know how to ask. The Avatar is merciful and his kindness knows no bounds. Glory be to all who hear his Divine Voice!”

“The gist of the Vedas, the Almighty’s commands given at the time of creation, may be conveyed in five simple words YAJNYA, DAAN, TAPA, KARMA, SWADHYAYA. These are the Five Pathways ordained for man. Yajnya will assure you fulfillment of worldly needs, Daan will lead you to heights of material prosperity and simultaneously generate that feeling of detachment which is so essential for the onward journey to happiness. The last three Pathways will open the gates to Kingdom of Heaven within you.”

“As a pilgrim on the Fivefold Path of Satya Dharma, when you start climbing up the Divine ladder you know it is By Grace Alone. When you go higher up you realize it is Grace Alone.”

“Physical postures and breathing techniques are the least part of Yoga. These things are not even an indispensable part of Yoga. The aim of Yoga is “I and my Father are one.” However, it might be interesting to note that Yoga postures and breathing techniques are rooted in scientific thought. They are the best methods known to man for achieving a state of equipoise conducive to Yoga.”

“The science of vibrations divides speech into four aspects, corresponding to the different centers in the bodily frame. A little devoted practice under the blessings of SADGURU (Perfect Master) will bring home the import of this statement. This forms part of the Vedic wisdom.”

“The Vedas prescribe perfection as the goal. Self realization is liberation. Liberation from what? From bondage. Bondage is the disease, and misery is the manifestation of that disease. Desires wrap around us and lead us from one action to another. The Vedas prescribe a state where you can move about boldly like a lion, undaunted by attractions or repulsions. The Vedas do not ask you to leave the world or your occupation. You have to learn to change your attitudes toward the objects of phenomena. When attitudes change, the whole picture is different.”

“Parama Sadguru states that Self Realization, Liberation, comes only through total surrender to the Almighty. All spiritual practice should lead to this goal. Surrender implies an egoless state. The highest attainment of human existence is “Not mine but Thy will be done.” This is the end of all Yoga.”

“Purification is not mere deodorization. Purification is described in three aspects in Vedas. PUSHTI, TUSHTI, and SHANTI. It is nourishment, refreshening deodorization and tranquility.”

“Fire worship means worship through fire, purification through the agency of fire. Any discipline towards the unfoldment of the “Kingdom of Heaven within you” presupposes purification of the mind. It involves undoing the carnal aspect of the mind. It means loosening the petrified crust of desires in which we are wrapped. This needs immense effort. The subconscious mind is like an iceberg – only the tip of which is seen. The cleansing has to start at this level. Memory is popping up all the time to undo the efforts at tranquility. YAJNYA, when practiced as prescribed with the disciplines involved, aids substantially in this process of purification.”

“Technology can give each one of us freedom from drudgery and enough leisure, but it cannot grant us equal capacity to utilize that leisure. This is where things when wrong. If a person spends his leisure time in exploring more avenues of sense enjoyment, he is creating a heavy karmic burden for himself. The more one indulges in sense gratification the more attached he becomes. His mind becomes burdened by the wrapping of desires. This leads to further misery, and happiness remains only a cherished dream. Again, science is amoral, but the use to which we put it determines the quality of life which a society is going to have. Thus, we can see that new inventions might make people optimistic, but they have not made them happy.”

“People think that the search for higher knowledge is something out of the way, something strange. Self knowledge does not banish the world; it banishes attachment to the world.”

“Efficiency in action is Yoga”

“When the creative power is tapped circumstances tend to shape towards fulfillment. Sublimation of the outgoing tendencies of the mind correspondingly alters our reactions to circumstances. We attract what we vibrate, and the first impact is a change in circumstances. Thoughts impinge on the atmosphere. Similarly, when we have holy thoughts, the process of upliftment is accentuated. Thus, we are the makers of our destiny. Thought can buffet circumstances or it can liberate us from the bondage of circumstances. Hence the commandment; “May my mind always affirm the holy.”

“Circumstances improve when we set in motion the factors that lead to inner purification. Constant affirmation of holy thoughts alters the material conditions around us. We become better receptacles for the manifestation of Divine Grace. We get into the habit of always performing the right action. This is character building. The habit dissolves the dross of desires that cloud the intellect. This is purification. This purification is functional, i.e., it enables us to reach higher states of evolution. The aim of all our endeavor is Self realization which results by surrender in an egoless state. One can not improve conditions unless inner improvement takes place.”

“The aim of Vedic knowledge is to grant you the experience of the words uttered by Jesus, “Thou art perfect as my Father which is in Heaven is perfect.” Perfection is the goal set before mankind. What is this perfection so loudly proclaimed by all Messengers of all times? The study of the Vedas enlightens us regarding this state of perfection and the means to be adopted to achieve this state. Vedas point out the Fivefold Path which ushers in the state described by the Bible, “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” The Vedas assert that you can get this experience in this very life. Did not Jesus say, “There be some standing here who will see the Kingdom of Heaven before they taste of death”?”

“A desire stimulates elevation, activation or degradation, but all these bind us to the wheel of birth and death. By leaving the attachment to the fruit of our action and by dedicating all our action to the Divine, we transcend this wheel and hasten liberation. This is the highest operation of free will granted to everyone who is conceived in human frame.”

“The curriculum revealed at the time of creation needs no revision. The Fivefold Path connotes eternal principles of religion. The principles charter the path, but the mapping has to be done by each of us individually. The Fivefold Path is the Divine blueprint for our happy journey on earth. Since the Path is eternal, it is equally applicable today as it was when given. It is applicable in toto to a person living in Washington, D.C., Tokyo, Paris, London, the desert of Arabia, an African forest or an Indian village.”

“Celibacy brings about immense resilience, and we experience an influx of energy at all levels. Conservation of sexual energy contributes to spiritual regeneration, and we delve deep into subtle tiers of consciousness. The flow of energy which was drained off towards the sexual function can be channeled towards the higher task of Self-realization.”

“The brahmacharya way of life is a gift from the ancient Vedic seers. All your hidden treasures will be unsealed by its practice. Egotistic pattern of behavior is blasted by practice of brahmacharya. Everyone wants to command, but none wants to obey. Resuscitation of brahmacharya way of life will teach us to be humble as little children, and the gates of “The Kingdom of Heaven” will be thrown open. Brahmacharya way of life rids us of all misery that is our desert. It is the only way to put an end to all misery.”

“Let us organize our tomorrow by self discipline today. Let us not defile the bodily tabernacle and turn it into a den of thieves. The thieves are passion, anger, greed, temptation, pride and jealousy. Let us learn to exert control over sense organs. It cannot be done overnight. It can neither come by mere wishful thinking or through listening to intellectual discourses. It comes only in the company of saintly persons. Let us imbibe the spiritual discipline in our lives as householders. Let us inculcate in our children by practicing what we preach.”

“Penance involves battling with six deadly passions, the thieves that pervert the mind.

• KAMA (Lust)
• KRODH (Anger)
• LOBH (Greed)
• MOHA (Attachment)
• MADA (Pride)
• MATSARA (Envy)

“The all-pervading Spirit could be cognized only through TAPA (self discipline, austerity, purification). Tapa is the third apect of the Fivefold Path. When the desires dry up the soul vision dawns.”

“We may intellectually understand by reading all the scriptures that Almighty power is ever present but our intellect will never be able to lay its grasp on it. These are the intrinsic limitations of the intellect. This is Swadhyaya. This is Grace.”

“A mere intellectual may be able to dish out discourses on Almighty, soul and Karma while his own life may be a negation of his proclaimed principles. A saintly person, a man of wisdom, lives his life according to his tenets knowing fully well that bad Karma will bring forth evil results. He therefore avoids evil Karma as anyone would avoid poison. To know the difference is Swadhyaya.”

“What is bliss? A child is engrossed in playing with his toys and is happy. An adolescent is happy but the toy changes. The mind gets attached to a thing and a person becomes happy. The consequences of this attachment push us into the unending dualities of pleasure and pain. Why not train the mind to get attached to something which will deliver us from this duality? What is the best method for this? This is Swadhyaya. Sugar is sweet. But what is sweet? You will not know until the taste buds come into contact with the object. What is bliss? You will not know until you meet a genuine Master. He grants you the state of soul vision and this is bliss.”

“Learn to control PRANA (Life Force). PRANA conquered is mind conquered. This is Swadhyaya.”

“Unless we totally surrender to God’s Will no progress on the spiritual path is made. This is the basic requirement. Agnihotra puts us in a mood of surrender to the Supreme and hence Agnihotra is a great material aid on the Divine Path.”

“You have to get into the habit of doing meritorious deeds without expectation of name or fame. Do what you think is right. If your power of discrimination between right and wrong tells you that it is not right to do a certain act , then refuse to do it even when the physical appetites pull you in that direction. This puts you in the direction of becoming a conscious instrument of Divine will. The sense of self importance is to be eliminated. Any thought, word, or deed that fattens the ego is to be avoided. This generates detachment and consequently you begin to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Only when the dance macabre of the senses is stilled do you begin to cognize the Divine will. “I” ness dwindles and you enter subtler worlds.”

“To knock off “I” ness there is a simpler way within the reach of any person. When you become devoted to a Perfect Master and meditate on him you become full of love. You attempt to follow his instructions. You begin to receive “gift waves” from him. The process of purification sinks down deeper. This establishes you in surrender to Divine will. Then there is nothing but joy. The pull of desires is enfeebled and all obstruction to joy manifestation is removed.”

“We must learn to plug the holes that drain off energy towards no fruitful purpose. We must learn to conserve and pinpoint this energy inwards towards the higher endeavor of Self realization. So much energy is drained off in worrying. Most of us burn the candle at both ends without realizing the consequences. This must stop if we wish to make any headway on the spiritual path.”

“Tapa is contemplation in depth. Tapa uncovers subtle powers that reside within the human frame. These powers lie dormant in most of us. Tapa draws them out.”

“The nearer we are to the totality of surrender the deeper the joy we experience. It is incomparable joy. Such joy knows no bounds. What is nectar like? Like nectar. There is no peer to describe the nectar experience. We must learn to snatch more moments of such joy. When the journey on the spiritual path is accelerated we experience the intensity of this joy. When you come out of this experience you carry with you added light, added wisdom. Then the joy we try to extract through the senses loses its savour.”

“Surrender is the master key that unlocks all mysteries of life. This is the culmination of Kriya Yoga.”

“All around us, we find people crazy after the dollar, liquor and sex. They feel the more they have of these things, the happier they will become. The moments of pleasure they derive from this indulgence exact a heavy toll of the mind and are paid for in terms of heavy doses of psychiatry. Every indulgence comes with a price tag attached to it. Pay now or pay a little later, but pay you must.”

“The yearning for the search is called the second birth. Three things are indeed rare. Human birth, yearning for Self realization, and meeting the proper teacher. This is the age-old path of spiritual progress.”

“The Fivefold Path has been unrolled before you as a package deal. It takes care of you as and where you are.”

“Higher knowledge cannot come from books. The ‘quickening impulse’ has to come from a living teacher. This teacher imprints his words with total devotion, total love and the effect is carried.”

“Destiny is going to exact its toll from you in any case. Destiny is the resultant of accumulated Karma (action) which has been performed by execution of your free will in the past. If you now execute your free will properly and start treading the Fivefold Path, immediately you acquire the strength to bear the pangs of destiny. Any action done with intensity brings forth immediate fruit. For such an action you need not wait very long for reaping what you have sown. Therefore, perform good Karma with devotion to the Almighty Father. The intensity of your devotion will wipe out the effects of past Karma. This is the meaning when we say, ‘The Lord is merciful.‘ You then transcend the effect of destiny.”

“We have to carry our cross. You cannot ride to the Kingdom of Bliss on someone else’s back. You do receive help from the Guru in making this journey into unknown lands. However, you have to take the first step and keep on walking. It is equally true that you cannot take the last step on your own. Only a liberated soul ushers you into it. This is the Divine plan from time immemorial.”

“Useful atmosphere that surrounds our planet is a thin layer like lacquering on a wooden toy. Any tampering with it forebodes untold evil. We pay for it in terms of more cancer, leukemia, respiratory ailments and miscarriages. Atmosphere knows no frontiers and, hence, the pending doom has brought all the thinking people together. We survive together or perish en masse. No more can it be partly love and partly hate; it will be totally ‘Love thy neighbor’, without forgetting ‘as thyself’.”

“Vedas, the first revelation, was given at the time of creation. It describes, like the manual of a gadget, all things required to maintain creation in perfect harmony. It also states the Eternal principles of religion (SATYA DHARMA). The principles are valid till creation lasts and need no revision. It is not realistic to state that Almighty Father started caring for His children and gave the message of the Kingdom of Heaven only when Krishna, Buddha, Moses, Jesus, Zarathustra or Muhammad came to earth. The message was given at the time of creation. ‘It was given through the first revelation, VEDAS, which literally means Knowledge’. “Before Abraham was, I am”.”

“To acquire this knowledge, we have to develop our inner faculties. This can come about only when we meet a Guru. When we go through the discipline given by the Guru, we purify ourselves and the new faculty appears which widens our vision and makes it subtler. All this knowledge lies hidden from the vulgar mind of the average person. However, through purification, all this is achievable. This opens up tremendous vistas of potentiality that the human being is capable of. Vedas convey all this knowledge. The aim of all our endeavor is “I and my Father are One”.”

The four sins of speech are lying, slander, abuse, and idle talk. To say or do anything which does not accord with what we know to be true is lying. Equivocation and exaggeration are lying. Society considers a “black lie” reprehensible, but a “white lie” passes off as common sense. Spiritual discipline recognizes no categories in lying. To pretend what we know we are not is lying. To indulge in falsehood, to indulge in backbiting, to indulge in frivolous talk, to employ harsh language is contrary to TAPA of speech.

Purification of TRILOKAS helps establish peace. Vedas state that purification of TRILOKAS has a direct relation to the quantum of human happiness. Happiness is a state of mind which results when sublimation of attitudes sets in. We are wrapped up in coils of desires. The seeds of desire pull us in different directions. They manifest in the form of physical appetites. We run after their gratification. The moment of gratification of a desire we term as our moment of happiness. We are prone to forget that it is not the gratification of a desire but its eradication that lightens the burden and makes us happy. Thus, eradication of desire is the process which leads to happiness. This process culminates in KRIYA YOGA, and you are ushered into the state “Not my will but Thy will be done”. Purification of TRILOKAS is a material aid to bring about this state. Then you transcend the mind. When mind conditioning is no more, you see things as they are and not as they appear.

The atmosphere is already surcharged with violence, lust and greed. We are prisoners not only in our own encasement, but also in the jaws of the atmosphere. With polluted air hovering around, we are in the jaws of death. Whatever spiritual discipline we undertake, our efforts are thwarted by this impediment. We have to establish ourselves in the attitude of “Love thy neighbor”. Our attempts to reach this state are obstructed by the effect of the atmosphere on the mind.

One decides to follow the Sermon on the Mount in daily life. No sooner does he poke his nose out the window than it is charged with lust, greed, hatred, enmity and violence. His determination is enfeebled; his will is mutilated. Thus, his capacity to translate his sublime thoughts into action is weakened. Vedas give us a material aid to purify the atmosphere and reduce these obstructions.

“It is interesting to study the basic approach of Vedic seers to the five elements, viz. Matter (Earth), Fluids (water), Fire (luster), Electronic Velocity (wind), and Celestial Atmosphere (ether). Fire which is in the center acts as the binding force between the first two and the last two. Matter and fluids have a downward tendency, while electronic velocity and celestial atmosphere have an upward drive. Matter and fluids by coming in contact with fire get transformed into the last two elements. This indirectly proves how fire elevates those that come in contact.”

These elements may be regarded as states of matter and not elements in the sense of modern chemistry.

First let us cognize that the mind is a storehouse of subtle energy. This energy is constantly focused outwards due to force of habit. The outgoing tendencies of the mind have to be sublimated. Inhibiting the outgoing tendencies of the mind is one of the first things we learn on the spiritual path. Suppression and repression are crude methods to deal with the outflow of this energy. Sublimation is one of the preliminary areas in which we must orientate ourselves. We then come to know how difficult this problem is. Once we get the correct basic attitude to deal with this problem many other problems just wither away. Some others bend to solution, and the rest are disarmed. They can no more gnaw at our sphere of tranquility.

For progress on the spiritual path it will be interesting to study how we may deal with these subtle energy manifestations. This is a function of the Fivefold Path. A substantial part of our mental energy is consumed in catering to the dictates of the physical body, in thinking about things which are not really necessary for our happiness. The spiritual aspirant should learn to plug in the holes from which this energy is drained off to no purpose. He has to attempt to store it for fruitful use. This helps him to make his attention one-pointed. By constant practice one’s subtlety is deepened.

When Death comes you cannot plead for time. The span of life will not be extended. The only thing given to us is to make the best use of the moments granted to us. Let every moment be filled with good deeds. Every act of giving in the spirit of duty sublimates the mind, and we take a further step towards the eternal grandeur which is our inheritance.

YAJNYA (AGNIHOTRA, the smallest form of Yajnya)
From “Light Towards Divine Path”

The ancient science of bioenergy given through the Vedas states that there are numberless billions of solar systems of which our planet is a tiny speck. The layer of useful atmosphere surrounding our planet earth is a very thin layer. Any change induced in this layer of atmosphere automatically leads to corresponding change in PRANA, the life energy that pulsates through us all and connects us with the cosmos. Prana and mind may be taken to be like two sides of the same coin and hence the change in atmosphere is automatically transposed to the realm of the mind.

The Vedic science of Yajnya states that mind is affected by ryhthms of natures corresponding to undulations of our planet. Yajnya is a process based on biorhythms of which man is a prisoner. Various rhythms of nature corresponding to the rotation of the earth and other cosmic objects affect human body and mind. Burning specific substances into fire anad uttering certain Mantras under the conditions of certain rhythms of nature produce specific effect in the atmosphere. This is the modus operandi of YAJNYA. The resultant effect is carried to the realm of the mind and mind becomes tranquil. Our happiness depends on the reactions of the mind and hence, Yajnya is a material aid to happy life.

AGNIHOTRA is the smallest form of Yajyna based on one circadium rhythm corresponding to sunrise and sunset.

AT SUNRISE THE MANY FIRES, ELECTRICITIES, ETHERS AND MORE SUBTLE ENERGIES EMANATING FROM THE SUN EXTEND ALL THE WAY TO THE EARTH AND PRODUCE A FLOOD EFFECT AT THOSE COORDINATES WHERE THE SUN IS SAID TO RISE. IT IS AWESOME. THE FLOOD ENLIVENS AND PURIFIES EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH, DESTROYING WHAT IS IMPURE IN ITS WAKE. THIS TORRENT OF LIFE SUSTAINING ENERGIES CAUSES ALL LIFE TO REJOICE. AT SUNRISE THAT MUSIC CAN BE HEARD. THE MORNING AGNIHOTRA MANTRA IS THE ESSENCE OF THAT MUSIC. IT IS QUINTESSENTIAL SOUND OF THAT FLOOD, AT SUNSET THE FLOOD RECEDES.

Thus, burning of specific substances and uttering of Mantra are to be synchronized with the timing of sunrise and sunset. This in short, is Agnihotra, the smallest Yajyna which anyone in any walk of life can practice with a little effort.

The fire is to be prepared in a copper pot which has semi-pyramid shape. The metal and the shape have an effect on the subtle energies which induce change in the atmosphere leading to beneficial change on the mind. Agnihotra is a great material aid to unburden the mind and you begin to feel free. THIS LEADS TO CONTENTMENT IN LIFE SINCE A PUSH IS GIVEN TO THE MIND TO REACT WITH LOVE.

Agnihotra is also a process of fumigation which affects the intensity of pathogenic bacteria. Agnihotra atmosphere gives nourishment to plant life. Within three weeks you can notice the effect on plants if they are kept in a room where Agnihotra is practiced regularly. Agnihotra atmosphere results in better absorption of sun’s rays by the water resources on earth. Thus, the energy cycle of the planet is kept in rhythm.

Pollution in the atmosphere has a dastardly effect on the human body and mind and hence we witness so much misery despite material plenty. Agnihotra put the whole process in reverse gear and you feel free and happy. If you practice Agnihotra you might very well say goodby to psychiatry troubles. When the tension on the mind is lessened one-pointedness of mind is achieved.

Hence, Agnihotra is a great material aid to happiness.

Our breathing is connected with the phases of the moon. A definite change in breathing rhythm takes place exactly at sunrise. If you are in bed at sunrise the change may not be as nature has planned it. Practice of Agnihotra automatically insures that the change in rhythm will be in tune with nature. This avoids the disharmony in equilibrium and thus proneness to disease is lessened.

Practice of Agnihotra leads to a happy state of mind and you automatically begin to experience more love. Anger and envy are lessened. What cannot be achieved by reading several books or listening to several sermons is achieved in a short time by practice of Agnihotra. Agnihotra makes you a better person in your family. The reason is simple. It is transformation of the mind. Agnihotra is an exact technique for psychophysiological victory over passion and greed.

Thousands of families in America and several countries of Europe are practicing Agnihotra.

Automobile pollution, pollution due to exhaust from factory chimneys, water pollution, noise pollution, nuclear radiation has terribly disturbed the useful layer of atmosphere around our planet. Many species of birds and fish are disappearing. All plant life is unhappy. The ancient science of Vedic Medicine called AYURVEDA states that if the atmosphere is starved of the nutrients which result from YAJNYAS we experience baneful changes in the atmosphere, the seasonal cycle is disturbed and the medicinal qualities of of plants deteriorate. AYURVEDA comes from ATHARVAVEDA where the science of bacteriology is given.

Modern medicine is slowly veering towards the Vedic science if medicine and growing aware that health is influenced by subtler atmospheric forces of which it knows little. Many biological activities correspond to rotation of our planet around the sun. This leads to intensity undulations in performance ability. Manic depression, hypertension and several other disorders are influenced by changes in biological activities that come about due to undulatory planetary cycles. Agnihotra is based on one such cycle called a Circadian Rhythm (rhythm around a day).

The specific conditions of nature at the critical points of sunrise – sunset, the effect of burning specific substances in a pot of prescribed metal having a prescribed shape and size and utterance of specific vibrations have a combined effect on the atmosphere. This effects the biological functioning and gives a push to the mind in the direction LOVE. If practiced regularly as a part of the Fivefold Path it improves meditation. Then the stage comes when no special meditation sittings are necessary. All the reactions of the mind spring forth from LOVE.

Vedas contain knowledge pertaining to all branches of science. They shed light on all matters relating to human existence, social, political, philosophical and others. So far as religion is concerned, Vedas give direct commands and declare what is ordained for man.

The purificatory effect of a properly conducted YAJNYA on the mind is the biggest blessing to mankind and will enable man to climb up the stairs to spirituality for “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall SEE GOD.”

The Almighty’s Commands are known as SATYA SANATAN DHARMA, which may be translated as ETERNAL RELIGION or Law. As they are omniscient Almighty’s Commands specifically for human understanding of creation, they are applicable so long as creation lasts. Time, space or variations in the means of production do not detract from their validity. SATYA DHARMA is so called because it is beginningless and eternal.

Agnihotra is the smallest form of daily Yajnya ritual. The ritual prescribed by Shrutis was practiced in ancient times. It resulted in peace and prosperity for the family and surroundings. It had the potency to reconstruct favorable conditions for the performer.

“ As a pilgrim on the Fivefold Path of Satya Dharma, when you start climbing up the Divine ladder you know it is By Grace Alone. When you go higher up you realize it is Grace Alone.”

Grace alone will enable man to have a peep into the infinite. All we have to do is to cleanse our mind and body, the tabernacle of the Heavenly Father, to attract grace.

“Changes in the atmospheric content through the agency of fire cause changes in the PRANIC content which brings an automatic proportional change in the mental attitudes of man. This is the modus operandi of a Yajnya. What cannot be achieved by years of effort is achieved within a few weeks by Agnihotra. The tension on the mind is reduced: some factors that go to depress the nervous system are eliminated. Our lust and greed are curbed. Thus, Agnihotra is an important material aid for the spiritual aspirant. This is especially so in the polluted conditions of our existence.”

“Today, it appears, there are more “gurus” then disciples. In the United States they will soon go into the Yellow Pages of our telephone book.”

“Treating man as merely body and mind gives birth to a distorted sense of values in life. A society built on such distorted values loses its driving force to keep the majority of people happy and contented.”

“The seeds of its own destruction are sown in the manifestation of a materialist society. The Power that guides the functioning of creation is subtle and ever awake. Man, in his arrogance, throws all sense of values overboard and creates terrific bad Karma. The resultant Karma disturbs the energy cycle that keeps the planet in rhythm. The Power that presides over us all then sets things right by showing man his proper place. The wicked are destroyed and the virtuous are protected.”

“Man cannot rest at peace until he fathoms the mystery that lies behind creation.”

“The symbol of scientific materialism is the machine. Man created the machine, but he has now ended up in becoming a slave to his own creation. More things are now available to cater to bodily comfort, if you have the dollars. Hence, acquisition of more and more dollars becomes the aim. Dollar and sex, Mammon and Venus rule over us.”

“To provide more things that bring comfort to the body may be necessary but it is not enough. To tap the fountain of love that is latent in all is true service. Thereby, you help a person to stand on his own.”

“If you divide the quantum of service you render to the people by your ego, you will generally find that only a small fraction remains. This represents selfless love. To get a larger number, ego has to be reduced. The sphere of selfishness has to be reduced. Mere control over sense organs is not sufficient to make us selfless. The fountain of desires nourishes the attitudes of mind. Unless this nourishment is reduced, ego must play a dominant role. Consequently, you will not be able to unfold love in others or contribute to a truly happy society.”

Most misunderstandings and quarrels arise because we cannot control our tongue. Hence, we may start practicing a few things. The list is not exhaustive but merely illustrative:

• • Do not show your importance while you speak.
  • Do not use harsh or spiteful language. Truth can be told in a palatable manner.
  • Do not indulge in backbiting.
  • By describing other persons’ faults you wish to show that you are superior. Avoid this. With speech much energy is consumed. We should learn to conserve it.
  • If someone speaks ill about another person in his absence, treat him as an uninvited guest.
  • Get rid of the habit of blaming others when things do not come about the way you wish them to be.
  • Never speak ill of others. You create evil thought forms which impinge upon you and weaken the mental fibre.
  • Do not get into a holier-than-thou attitude.

Vanity breeds smugness and intolerance. Our errors come disguised as righteousness due to vanity. So-called self-righteousness is also the manifestation of ego. Vanity is the breeding reactor where fanaticism, orthodoxy, dogma and cultism thrive. Bigotry never admits mistakes and invents long-winded defense for its misdeeds. Anger and vanity thrive upon each other. Therefore, practice the following:

Do not hanker after name and fame.

Do not make a vulgar show of your possessions or your academic accoutrements.

Avoid talking about yourself. Listen more. Talk less. We have two ears but only one tongue.

In conversation, avoid dogmatic self-assertions.

Be humble. Humility is the hallmark of a person on the Divine Path.

Do not try to pose as what you are not. Attempt to become as you wish others to see you.

Vibrations of OM and Mantras chanted at sunrise and sunset have a specific frequency or vibration which is attuned to the Universe and can be heard on other planets. Such Mantras facilitate the receiving of information and interstellar communication.

“Technology has played its innings. Now we have to delve into supertechnology to save ourselves from the mess of compounded pollution that we have created. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil we farm are all poisoned.”

“We think we have found technological paradise. It will be our hell in the next years. Whether we like it or not we have already handed ourselves on a silver platter of technology into the jaws of death. Science and technology are different things. Science is the search for truth. What technology has done and persists in doing is nothing short of raping the land and the air we breathe of all nutrients by destroying plant life with pesticides and insecticides and polluting human beings with chemical fertilizers and food additives. All this is taking its toll now. Man cannot survive this era without a massive attempt to counteract the destruction.”

“Agnihotra, the basic HOMA, is the way to save the world now. If anyone can show a better, easier, more practical way, we are willing to listen.”

“When seepage begins from nuclear reactors and nuclear waste disposal systems, people in those areas will feel as if they are living on a keg of dynamite. People will become angry with the scientists for what they have done, for their lack of thoroughness when they began experimenting with radioactive materials, for not looking to the ramifications of misusing such power, or for creating such a powerful menace. The scientists will be hard pressed for solutions. They will work diligently, relentlessly for answers. That answer is here. That answer is Agnihotra HOMA and the revealed knowledge the powers that be have chosen to give through us. Do not believe what we tell you. Try Agnihotra and be convinced on your own. We ask the scientist to investigate.”

 

“There will be a rebuilding of the Earth’s atmosphere through the healing energies of HOMA fires of which Agnihotra is the base. Let us work energetically to do this. Man is to know Love again. New Age is born.”

 

“Agnihotra makes the performer (YAJAMAN in Sanskrit) more intelligent. It renews the brain cells. It revitalizes the skin. It purifies the blood. It is the holistic approach to life.”

“Agnihotra is the key. YAJNYA gives us the boost of energy even food cannot deliver.”

 

“Agnihotra ash totally solves the radiation problem. Even more so Agnihotra negates its effect. Agnihotra neutralizes harmful radiation and cleanses the planet.”

 

“When pollution increases the level of ozone layer decreases. Then oxygen-fixing bacteria become deplete and nitrogen-fixing bacteria become malfunctional unless the science of YAJNYA and Fivefold Path are practiced on a wide scale.”

 “When radioactive particles and poisonous gases are released from the Earth’s core our only protection is YAJYNA. Clouds get seeded with toxins due to pollution. Only way to negate this is by proper performance of YAJNYA.

“With increased doses of acid rain the top few inches of soil on Earth are likely to be totally destroyed so that nothing will grow. The answer to our ills lies just six inches beneath the surface of the Earth. HOMA Therapy Farming is the way out.”

“The scientist will wonder how Agnihotra ash does what it does. Now miracles happen when this ash comes in contact with something. Scientists should not look at it quantitatively but qualitatively. What are the results from putting the ash with something? Then when they look at the results and think of the whole process they will understand it is Grace operating.”

“When Agnihotra ash is put into water at the source of a body of water, the water becomes energized and it begins to take on healing properties.”

“Due to pollution, a change in the nuclear structure in plants makes it impossible for humans to extract nutrients necessary for survival unless plants are grown in Agnihotra atmosphere with Agnihotra ash. Then the plant defies change and maintains its place in the balance of nature.”

“Forest will disappear because of man, but not because they are cut; instead, they are choked to death due to lack of nutritional content in air and soil.”

“Crops get planted once, twice, thrice and nothing grows, not even weeds. Farmers, listen to what we have been telling. It is accurate, precise.”

“Clouds that have been seeded for rain are going to poison the Earth. Science and governments must be warned. It is stated in YAJURVEDA that we should get rain by practicing YAJNYA; we should grow crops by practicing YAJYNA.”

BEES, ESPECIALLY WASPS, EMIT A HORMONE WHICH IS DANGEROUS. FLOWERS STOP POLLENATING. BEES UNABLE TO PRODUCE HONEY, UNABLE TO AID IN THE REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE OF PLANTS AND PLANTS START DISAPPEARING.

CHANGES IN SOIL COMPOSITION DUE TO POLLUTION ARE DRASTIC. RESULTS ARE DISASTROUS. SOIL WILL BE UNABLE TO SUSTAIN PLANTS OR LIFE EVEN. ONLY WAY OUT IS TO PUT NUTRIENTS AND FRAGRANCE INTO ATMOSPHERE BY WIDESPREAD PRACTICE OF YAJNYA.

The plants dance. They sing to the atmosphere creating nutrients. Birds give love to all creation. All this in Agnihotra atmosphere. LET US PERFORM AGNIHOTRA TO RESET THE ENERGY CYCLE OF THE PLANET.

HEART CONDITIONS BEGIN TO POP UP OUT OF NOWHERE. CHILDREN BEGIN TO DEVELOP HEART CONDITIONS BECAUSE OF POLLUTION. ONLY WAY OUT IS YAJNYA. PERFORM AGNIHOTRA. 1978

WATER RESOURCES ON EARTH ARE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO ABSORB ENERGY FROM THE SUN. THIS WILL RESULT IN DEPLETION IN MARINE LIFE AND IMBALANCE IN NATURE. THIS WILL TAKE ITS TOLL IN TERMS OF NATURAL DISASTERS LIKE FLOOD, EARTHQUAKE.

IT WILL GET SO NOW THAT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFICULTY EVEN BREATHING IN LARGE CITIES. THOSE WITH LUNG DISEASES, TERRIBLE. PEOPLE AROUND MID-DAY WILL FEEL LIKE THEY ARE CHOKING. THE MIXTURE OF THE LIGHT OF THE SUN AND POLLUTION IS TERRIBLE. 1978 

SKY SEEMS LIKE IT IS FALLING. SO MUCH POLLUTION IN AIR. AIR BECOMES HEAVY AND DIFFICULT FOR MANY TO BREATHE.

THE OZONE LAYER IS NO LONGER SERVING AS A FILTER BUT INSTEAD AS A MAGNIFIER OR INTENSIFIER.

Cities and towns around proving grounds experience a high rate of illness in all age groups and economic situations. Atmosphere in those places has been putrified. Beware.

PERFORM AGNIHOTRA AND HELP SET RIGHT THE ENERGY CYCLE OF THE PLANET. DISASTER BEGINS ON HUGE SCALE. AGNIHOTRA OFFERS PROTECTION. TRY IT. SEE IF YOU LIKE IT. BREATHE.

 Detroit, Michigan undergoes extreme pressure that occurs because of pollution produced in industry there. The people wish to go to other areas as if the city is falling apart. Industry that once thrived in that area now has great problems.

ONLY WAY TO SET RIGHT THINGS IS TO RESET THE ENERGY CYCLE OF THE PLANET BY PERFORMANCE OF AGNIHOTRA. 1978

Time space alteration taking place. Where will it go from here?

A NEW RACE IS BORN. A NEW CIVILIZATION WILL BEGIN. SALVATION IS COMING. SALVATION HAS COME. WE MUST FIND ALTERNATE CLEAN BURNING FUELS. ALTERNATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THERE IS REFERENCE IN THE VEDAS OF QUICK MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THAT NEEDS TO BE RESUSCITATED. WHEN BUILDING IF ONE USES AGNIHOTRA ASH ON THE WOOD IT WILL SERVE AS A PRESERVATIVE. THE GHEE IS THE SECRET.

“Radioactivity of certain elements changes. This effect is coming from other planets, from other solar systems. Science begins to panic about it.   Cadmium is a big factor in fusion of elements. What is elongation of space? Science begins to panic about it. How can this be corrected? Science must go into YAJNYA now. There is no more time. Let all governments be alerted. Destruction is imminent.   Help the world out of misery. Help science investigate YAJNYA. If it works then endorse it. Even though it is ancient it works.”

 “Water pollution now takes its toll in rich as well as poorer countries. No water is relatively safe to drink now. Soon we will find kits on sale for purifying the water we drink. However, kits available to purify the air will be in far greater demand. These will be Agnihotra copper pyramid fire kits tuned to the biorhythm of sunrise/sunset.”

“Let all weather bureaus note that the changes in the atmosphere will have an effect on cloud formations, on world tropics, on seasonal changes, on human mind. Circular movements are increasing around the globe, causing extreme disturbance in our weather.”

“Certain birds become extinct and the governments from the countries where this happens will be alarmed as there is no rhyme or reason for it. Birds find shelter in Agnihotra pyramid Homa.”

“You will find thousands of birds of one kind around places where YAJNYA is practiced. They seek these places for refuge, for relief. Listen to the birds. Birds immediately become attracted to Agnihotra pyramid fire. HOMA Therapy places become refuge for birds.”

“Scientists will discover foreign antibodies in blood of animals. It is no longer safe to eat meat. Let people turn to organic gardening with use of Agnihotra and grow their food as was intended. HOMA Therapy farming will produce abundant, disease-free food.”

 “When space shrinkage gets worse it will appear as though the planet is spinning differently, Earth’s atmosphere is caving in, solar systems and time are exploding. Endless cycles of nature are disturbed by man’s disregard of nature. The law of reap as you sow operates. This is the law of KARMA and Grace.”

“The world is heading for destruction. It appears that the forces are beyond control. Sands of time are running out. However, the planet can be saved if scientist care to investigate the science of YAJNYA given through Vedas.”

“Not only does life exist on other planets, but some of these are higher life forms. They are becoming greatly disturbed by our actions that have created so much pollution throughout all of creation and our unwillingness, for the most part, to do anything about it.” 

“If scientist now listen to what we are telling, the course of history will turn. Now is the time to approach the scientists with Agnihotra, YAJNYA and HOMA farming.”

“Finally, we would like to inform science and governments that lasers of light are being beamed to this planet from other planets in other solar systems. This is the only way to describe the phenomena with the limitations of language. These lasers are injecting a message into our atmosphere, causing change. The change is beneficial because some higher form of life is transmitting certain special Vedic Mantras that are seeding our atmosphere with vibrations of love. This is done under the direction and command of Shree. Those who are ready will hear. Those who have love in them will be gathered and protected. The earth is on the brink of disaster, destruction. It was Shree who resuscitated the knowledge of HOMA Therapy to save the planet.”

“Agnihotra pyramid fire is the panacea for all life. All of nature sings out, rings out with joy when Agnihotra is performed. Birds sing, plants dance, man’s frolicking mind becomes calm. Such a special gift in the form of Agnihotra is given to all creation by Divine Will.”

Tremendous amounts of energy are gathered around the Agnihotra copper pyramid just at Agnihotra time. A magnetic-type field is created, one which neutralizes negative types of energy and reinforces positive types of energy. Therefore a positive pattern is created by one who does Agnihotra merely by his/her performance.

It is not necessary to find a guru. If you have good Karma then you are attached to a good guru. Only thing is, how to strengthen devotion to the guru or how to bring into practice the teachings of the guru? Not much is going to happen by simply reading the guru’s teachings. No doubt what you are reading is good, but unless you bring those teaching into practice, you cannot make progress. These are the material aids for that, which are given in ancient knowledge:

1. Grow your food, full of love, by these Homa Therapy methods
2. Yoga asanas
3. Pranayama
4. Agnihotra
5. Meditation which you learned from the guru, but which only becomes more effective in Agnihotra atmosphere

People will now be forced to go into another lifestyle whether they like it or not.

Nothing up till now has brought the human race together, not even talk of love—nothing until pollution. Now we are all heading for the same holocaust. What we call civilization built up brick by brick over thousands of years is just going to collapse in the next three or four years. If we look at the industrially developed nations, they have so many problems. No child is safe now. Also parents have no answers because they also have been brought up in this direction. What is everybody trying to do? Seek some comforts for body and mind. A person thinks if he has some more material things at least he will be happy in his old age. But on what is he depending for his happiness? There is no way out now. People will be forced to become good and then we will see it is so easy. Happiness may be dependent on:

1. Prosperous business
2. Good husband or wife
3. Good children
4. Social status
5. People’s respect

These things are all vulnerable. Business can collapse at any time. Problems can occur between man and wife. A child may die. Happiness collapses. Happiness can never be found by being dependent on some person or circumstance outside of yourself. But it is all the time within you.

When someone does any great work on the planet, even spiritual, then we automatically call him a great man. But this is not necessarily greatness.   We must see how humble he is. This is the mark of greatness. Every action, every thought has to be full of love. Secondly, he is not interested in taking credit for the work done by him. He always says, “Some higher power has done this work through me.” Also if someone else takes credit for his work he will not say anything——just “God bless you.” After all these qualifications, then he may be called great. Unless we are like little children we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. That innocence must be there then the Divine starts taking over.

The mind pulls in many different directions, all the time. Do not fight that pull. Fill the mind with loving thoughts, positive impressions, images that heal. Let go of all the negative thoughts as soon as you become aware of them. All wrong, all pain, let it go.

---

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.

---

Blessing to those who continue to walk in Light even during periods when the Light cannot be seen. The clouds will move and the Light will again be bright. Brighter. Brighter.

---

 

 Have compassion for those who stand alone. Have compassion for those who have left their HOME. Have compassion for those who believe no more, for all are Our children, children of the Lord. No one is better. No one is higher. No one is favored. No one is discarded. All are in Our Heart forever. OM TAT SAT.

Be truth. Be patient. Be full of love. Be compassion. All that you seek, be that. Clear away the illusion. All the joy you seek is already within you.

 

The end has been foretold.

We are reshaping the future.

We are creating new from old, life from death, health from disease.
