Tapovan - The Farm
The
Tapovan farm is completely organic. No agro-chemicals of any kind are used.
Instead we use the ash from Agnihotra and the other
Yajnya fires as a means of
enriching the soil and balancing the pH. Also we regularly spray the foliage of
all crops and trees with Agnihotra ash/water solution for pest control and plant
nutrition. This gives a boost to the organic compost fertilization program.
Many
vegetables, herbs, trees and flowers are being germinated in our nursery using
Homa Therapy techniques (seeds are treated with cow urine, cow dung and
Agnihotra ash). All fruit, vegetables and herbs grown at Tapovan have an
absolutely wonderful flavour. We believe this to be a result of the healing
energy from the Yajnya fires.
Tapovan consists of 15 acres of land, much of which is under cultivation
with various seasonal crops in addition to the orchards. At the moment we are
growing the monsoon crops: cotton, millet, sesame, green and black
gram, chilis. We also have a sprinkling of Ayurvedic healing herbs such as:
lemon grass, citronella,
shatavari, aloe vera, etc.
What
we have observed over the past few years is that with continual practice of
Yajnya healing fires the harmony of Nature is restored in the vicinity. Unlike
the situation with chemical agriculture, the insect kingdom is not decimated but
automatically comes into balance. A striking example of this is the result we
observed with our cotton crop. Local farmers say that it is impossible to grow
cotton successfully without the use of large quantities of chemical
insecticides. However, at Tapovan the predator insects keep the destructive
insects in check.
