Akanda Jyoti - Our ever burning lamp is herewith offered to all the Rishis known and identified and those not known. Vedic wisdom has been passed down through many great sages who were free from the bindings of this world. Their minds were connected to the inifine ocean of wisdom within, their light will radiate for all eternity. With eternal gratitude we keep this lamp burning in their honor.

Ayurveda
Ayurveda (Devanagari: आयुर्वेद ) or ayurvedic medicine is a form of alternative medicine in use primarily in the Indian subcontinent. The word "Ayurveda" is a tatpurusha compound of āyus "life" and veda "knowledge", and would roughly translate as the "Science of Life". Ayurveda deals with the measures of healthy living, along with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony. Ayurveda is also one among the few traditional systems of medicine involving surgery.
Bhu Mata
The ancient Vedic sages viewed the Earth[Bhu Matha - Mother Earth] as a divine goddess, a being who had feelings and consciousness, and who responded to our prayers and actions. The sages sang beautiful hymns of gratitude to Mother Earth, wished her peace in rhythmic peace prayers, and also performed elaborate fire ceremonies for her peace and happiness.
Eternal Truth
Jyotish
Jyotisha (jyotiṣa, in Hindi and English usage Jyotish) is the Hindu system of astrology, one of the six disciplines of Vedanta, and regarded as one of the oldest schools of ancient astrology to have had an independent origin, affecting all other schools in and around India. The Sanskrit word derives from jyótis (disjointed as "Ja"+"Ya"+"O"+"T"+"ish" to get the root meaning as "water or birth"+"in addition to" + "earth" and "stars" + "knowledgeable" equating as one who is knowledgeable, or enlightened with knowledge, of birth, fate, and relationship to water, earth and stars) or which means "light, brightness", but in the plural also "the heavenly bodies, planets and stars".

Rishi Krishi

Soma Yagyas - a Living Tradition for Planetary Healing

At the end of the program all remaining items are put into a lake.
At the end of the program all remaining items are put into a lake.

On the 29th of April 2010 we have completed our first Vedic Society Soma Yagya in the heart of Auroville. We had guests coming from all over India and around the world to experience this tradition as old as time. We wish to thank all who attended, donated and volunteered towards this offering to ancient Vedic wisdom and to planetary healing.

Here's a few ways you can explore the Soma Yagya online:

  • View the poster.
  • Read our Soma Yagya 2010 newsletters: #1 (Announcement), #2 (9 days to go), #3 (One day to go), #4 (Tuning in online), #5 (The effects of Soma Yagyas)
  • Visit our SY2010 gallery (thanks to Ian and friends for the beautiful pictures)
  • Visit our YouTube page (our documentary entitled Soma to be released there soon)
  • Some words from our friends and well-wishers.
  • Enjoy our booklet prepared by Samskrti Foundation on Soma Yagyas

Some Observations


The entire yagyashala collapsed during a massing lightening storm two days after completion.

On the final day in the early evening a light rain had started to delicately fall to the dry earth. By the second day after completion heavy rains were falling. In this ancient tradition it is said that one should destroy the yagyashala (as the final offering) after completion of the yagya. In recent times this is rarely done, we in fact wished to do it but were concerned with the risk of fire being in a forest and all. Lo and behold nature took Her own course and such heavy rains fell on the second night after the yagyas completion that the entire structure was destroyed in the night with a great crash. Lightening and thunder filled the sky to add to the cosmic orchestration.

Rare Summer Monsoon

The whole of South India has good monsoon rains now. This is the first time we are enjoying good South-West monsoon. What i feel is this is due to our Somayagya because we performed this yagya in a pure Vedic way - Shrinivass Sattri, Chief pundit

We have been logging historical weather data and will publish a report giving an analysis of previous years and present year and the weather comparisons. For the first time in many years much of Tamil Nadu is getting the South-West monsoon that is named as such as it known for it's presence in Kerala. It is said that many many decades fore the whole of South India experienced this and it seems this year it has returned in the form of a summer monsoon. Watch this space we'll publish the weather stats as soon as we have compiled them.

Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry had the highest rainfall compared to the normal of 44.1 mm. They got 98 per cent more showers than normal, followed by west Rajasthan region which got 78 per cent more rains compared to the normal of 27.2 mm. - Times of India, July 2, 2010

June 6th Rains to hit Tamil Nadu
June 9th Heavy Rains in Chenna
June 11th Rain Comes Again and Met predicts more rain
June 27th East India bracing to receive heavy rains

Honey and Ghee
Introduction Ayurveda teaches that honey and ghee should not be taken in equal proportions (by volume). We have compiled various textual references from the sages of yore that demonstrate this viewpoint: It is not common for people to take honey and ghee equally but all should be aware that it should not be done as it harms Ayu or life force.

Virechana
Virechana is one of the 5 karmas or actions in Panchakarma. It cleanses the body of toxins in the Pitta zone by drawing the toxins (ama) back to the small intestine through the bodily channels and then eliminating them downwards (sometimes they even go upwards subsequenting in vomiting at the same time). If done correctly it is one of the most profound and powerful healing technologies in existence in the entire universe. Pitta is related to all metabolic and transformative operations in the body, from digestion, to seeing to properly building bodily precursors and tissues.

Basti - A Superlative Treatment
Medicated oil enemas and cleansing enemas comprise basti karma, one of the 5 major karmas or actions performed in Ayurvedic therapeutics. The Rishis extolled basti more than any other treatment, some sages wrote that all diseases can be treated with basti therapy others say 80% and some less. It is really one of the least utilized treatments and if performed properly it can do nothing short of a miracle.

Campaign to end temple animal sacrifices in Nepal
In 2004 we started a project to help end temple animal sacrifice in Nepal. Many of Nepal's most ancient temples are tainted with blood and suffering of the animals that are slaughtered there in the name of religion. This action is completely against Divine will and brings more suffering and pain to an entire country.
