Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyala based at Mount Abu in Rajasthan has been advocating healthy and fruitful agriculture practises with a spiritual dimension integrated into the scientific practices. Apart from promoting chemicals-free organic farming, the Brahma Kumaris claim to have successfully integrated the Raja Yogic practices into farming, resulting in high crop yield and enriching of the crops with higher nutritional values when compared to the agricultural practices of the average farmer in the country. National coordinator of the rural development wing of the Brahma Kumaris, Raju told *The Hindu* that the Rajayoga Education and Research Foundation of the Grama Vikas division have launched a unique project dubbed as ‘Sustainable Yogic Agriculture'. The project involves application of the power of yogic meditation on the agriculture crops through the medium of personal or mass meditation in the fields. The yogic practice involving positive thoughts releases electro magnetic power into the plants. Scientific research has demonstrated the effect of thoughts on water. Water stores thought energy and thus energy impacts whoever and whatever use it. The positive thoughts subjected to water had been found to form beautiful crystals and water exposed to negative thoughts form either no crystal or deformed ones. The results of such yogic meditation in the agro-farms in Rajasthan and Gujarat and other States, Raju says is astounding and well corroborated by teams of scientists who researched on farms practising the spiritual concepts. Organic farming coupled with Rajayoga meditation applied on crops such as tomato, sugarcane, cucumber, wheat and chilly etc revealed that not only the net profit area has increased, the qualitative parameters are better in yogic farming. A team of 21 agricultural scientists from different parts of the country visited Rudrapur in Rajasthan where wheat was grown under Rajyoga treatment. Studies indicated that there was greater germination rate and growth of seedlings in the groups that were watered with energised water that had been treated with positive thoughts of those in meditation. He says that the Rajasthan experiment is also being replicated in Chittoor district under the guidance of Veena, a Brahma Kumari activist. Farmers in Chittoor who tried the Yogic meditation oriented agriculture have seen astounding results with regard to germination, growth and quality of crop. The yogic agriculture if replicated by the state farmers would change the suicides scenario, the Brahma Kumaris believe. ** ------------------------------ *The results of yogic meditation in the agro-farms is astounding, says national coordinator* *The yogic practice involving positive thoughts releases electro magnetic power into the plants* * http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-otherstates/article2891492.ece * -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe email [email protected]
