A Review on Homa Farming – A Vedic Touch to Modern Agriculture

Abstract

Homa farming is a Vedic discipline which denotes the method of annihilating harmful circumstances of 
environmental elements and refines the atmosphere by action of flame, outfitted with copper pyramid. Agnihotra is 
essential flame in Homa farming. It religiously associates living beings on this earth to control energy from space. It 
is practiced when all hope is gone and has proved to be beneficial in increasing yield of crop , reducing microbial 
pathogenicity , decontaminating soil and water, against pest and disease infestation. Homa farming is comprehensive 
method of healing of agriculture and can be used in conjunction with any good organic farming system as it is 
extremely inexpensive and can be performed by anybody but requires discipline and consistency. In course of time 
this knowledge has lost because the farming is becoming more modernized with invention of new technologies like 
GI , GPS , satellite imaging, moisture sensors. Farmers are approaching new methods and practices of farming and 
they completely relies on chemicals like pesticides, rodenticides, Fertilizers, herbicides to enhance his production. 
Then it becomes difficult for them to believe in traditional and Vedic type of agriculture as it purely organic in 
nature and only depends on healing effects of agnihotra. Nowadays this knowledge is being revived by many 
scientists to give individuals the  guidance about how to address  polluted conditions  of planet. Many scientists have 
demonstrated the scientific validation of Homa farming methodologies and have conducted experiments to prove the 
beneficial effect of Homafarming. A famous Scientist named Abhang Pathade, has conducted many experiments to 
prove that this technique actually works and can be very effective in getting rid of major problems like 
environmental pollution , disease and pest attack on plants , less crop yield and soil infertility.
