It's not uncommon to find that someone you know utilizes drugs to pass through the day-to-day, and for me this was once a way of life until 2003, when I chose instead to walk the tragic road of ultimate self-destruction, resulting in an instigated overdose. By instigated I mean that it wasn't the first time I forcefully, by pattern of behavior, ran into death. The last time, being the more successful of attempts, I am attributing to fate simply because I finally succumbed to leaving this world. It is only by Divine Grace that my life was saved, catapulting me into the most inspiring journey of discovery, realization and reconnection.

Gratefully my family gathered round and I was immediately sent to Peru, South America, where I underwent a deep healing using "unknown, known" Ancient techniques from the science of purification and resonance. The process, termed Agnihotra, is a simple yet very effective tool, which bares its existence from Vedas, the ancient most body of knowledge known to man.

I spent 6 months in Peru, under the loving care of Irma Garcia (A lawyer who spent 20 years with the United Nations, now full time Homa Therapy Volunteer) and Gloria Guzman (A Biochemist and devoted Homa Therapy teacher to the indigenous people of Amazon).

I was in the heart of the Amazon jungle for three months and a major part of my therapy was to reconnect with the Earth, Nature ... feel the soil ... deep breathe every layer of subtle energy she gives us as human beings. I was so blind, unaware of what Mother Earth was going through. Its only natural that if we don't truly interact with Nature then how can we know what is happening with our planet.

Dr. Guzman a biochemist, who discovered Biosol, a highly medicinal biofertilizer containing the Ash from Agnihotra, worked with the farmers to help fight the large amount of disease raiding their crops, destroying everything and leaving minimum harvests. She had me plant trees and shared her interactions with the indigenous people and local farmers. The stories quickly grew from being one or two to many and they came to Dr. Guzman for answers.

Fate, Grace, ultimate love and compassion from the Divine is what brought me face-to-face with this incredible therapy, of which I have become devoted to sharing the wonderful qualities. Homa Therapy has helped me to remove so many toxic and self-destructive patterns from my body, my mind and in turn my day-to-day life and I am completely grateful.

What exactly is Homa Therapy?

Simple things that we do have a great effect on the atmosphere. Burning generates energy. Man has known this for thousands of years. But it helps generate even more subtle energies. By putting certain materials such as medicinal herbs for example into specially prepared fires accompanied by certain word combinations, it is possible to remove toxic conditions from the atmosphere, thereby healing and purifying it. That healing effect is then passed on to all life-forms which are sustained by that atmosphere. This is HOMA THERAPY.

HOMA is a Sanskrit technical term from the Vedic science of bioenergy. The Vedas are the most ancient body of knowledge known to mankind and describe several sciences including bioenergy, psychotherapy, medicine, agriculture, biogenetics, climate engineering and inter-planetary communication. The central idea in HOMA Therapy is:

You heal the atmosphere and the healed atmosphere heals you.

Of all the HOMA fire practices given in the Vedas the basic one is known as AGNIHOTRA which is tuned to the biorhythm of sunrise/sunset.

Agnihotra is a simple process performed at exactly the time of sunrise and sunset, daily. The entire meditation takes approximately 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening. To find out more about Agnihotra, such as how to perform, where to get materials, etc please visit our international portal for HOMA THERAPY.

So how is all of this related?

Our environment, the air we breathe, the food we eat and all the energies coming and going in our human system, throughout the days, are greatly affected by the pollution on our Mother Earth. As humans we are a part of HER ecosystem. If HER ecosystem is "malfunctioning" then wouldn't it be logical to think that we, as human beings would start to malfunction as well?

This point is precisely what I started to discover on my journey of reconnection with our beautiful Planet. The answer to restoring an ecosystem and living in harmony with nature do exist and it has been a magical realization to find that it is available for each and everyone of us.

"Therefore, by practicing Homa Therapy one can begin the process of self-healing and assist people in breaking down barriers to success, good health and inner wisdom. Thus power is given back to the individual and there is no dependency either on chemical drugs, therapists or expensive therapies. The person has the tools in hand to achieve self-healing through practice of ancient Vedic healing fires." ~~ Shree Vasant Paranjpe

I was introduced Vasant Paranjpe (Shree), my spiritual teacher, in Lima, Peru in January of 2004. "He is a visionary who pioneered the use of the ancient science of Homa Therapy into every aspect of life today, from agriculture to psychotherapy, alternative medicine to self-development, from global warming to ecological balance." (Download the EBOOK : "Messenger of the Sacred Fire - The Extraordinary Life and Works of Shree Vasant Paranjpe, by Parvati Rosen-Bizberg").

Shree, has guided me to live a life in service to the Divine and to think of the world as my family. I hold dear his teachings and am fueled by his loving wisdom.

All in all, I spent almost nine months traveling through several continents witnessing many, many accounts of miraculous healings from this simple little fire, called Agnihotra.
