possible or inherently
impossible?
 Intentions and program of this international
meeting
1. Overviews of ancient and emerging farming techniques and wisdom
Do systematic reviews / overviews exist?
Relevance of these techniques?
Importance of world views?

2. Exploring emerging paradigms in science

- make Western educated people accept Eastern techniques
and wisdom

3. Interactive reflection
Relevant issues for Sri Lanka and for Europe

vaatha pitta kapha

Each person or plant has personal balance or imbalance,

and may react differently on stress and so develop a specific disease
 TASTAM : worldview elements
earth is in danger, we need old secret and sacred knowledge
contact with deities
attract strengthening energy and block negative energy
clean body, personal attitude and mindset crucial for impact

 Sanjeevan Matter + Energy
matter expressed in 5 basic elements:
earth for structure and nutrients,
water for transport,
gas for breathing,
fire for metabolism and photosynthesis
space in vacuoles and cavities
matter is dead without vital energy (Jeevan
Shakti) driving it
Rishis: energy is present within and outside
living bodies, it is omnipresent
 Vedic Agriculture and Natural Law
Maharishis technologies of consciousness
Natural Law = intelligence of nature for creation +
evolution

Vedic vibrations carry creative impulses of the Laws of

Nature to the plants
40 fundamental structures of sound give information
for every aspect of the plant
the 40 values of pure intelligence will be enlivened
when sung in the field, they resonate with the
structured sound in Nature

the Vedic element adds consciousness to support

stages of evolution of the plant and the nutrients within

offers the most nourishing food

Synthesis of key elements of Eastern farming
techniques and vision
Version 1
HK February 2017
 Key elements summarized (1)
Modern agriculture counteracts nature
degrades food, soil and health
cause of many modern diseases
it needs radical different techniques
Farm problems are caused by imbalance between vital forces
farmers key role is to restore subtle balances, at all levels

Respect for nature in ancient techniques

gives healthy food and medicine
protects water, nature and environment
lower cost (less chemicals) + labour reasonable net income
still practised at many family farms

Focus on cost-effectiveness and time vs respect and participation in nature

 Key elements summarized (2)
Human body, garden and farm all are coherent with the zodiac,
cosmic rythms and astrology
Men, garden, farm and landscape are shaped by 4 subtle
elements that shape matter and life
Vibrations are key to life: sound, rythm and music
All kinds of frequencies matter.
Chants, kem, pirith, rituals connect with elemental forces and
deities
Sustain happiness by supporting order.

Transformation always starts in the elemental and spriritual world

 Key elements of Eastern techniques (3)
Importance of consciousness, attention and love to support evolution
Spiritual attitude towards all life: Nature is enchanted
Let all life live to its nature WU WEI
Personal transformation in consciousness is key
Modern farm crises can be overcome by transforming them within
us, through purifying and reshaping them, through the harmony of
our body.
Breathing, diet, hygiene, prayer, auspicious music, yoga, sun-
greetings, burning incence to grow in oneness

When it reaches perfection, the body radiates harmony to its

environment and enlivens farming
Buddhist stanza 5 for metta
Dittha va ye va addittha
Ye ca dure vasanti avidure
Bhuta va sambhavesi va
Sabbe satta bhavantu sukhitatta

Those seen and unseen

Whether dwelling far or near
That are or yet seek to be
Let every creatures heart rejoice
 . in communicating East-West
Focus is quite different
West went into the atom (and meets energy)
East understands nature by becoming one with
it (and sees its energies)
Concepts about energy may appear very different
but may as well offer a meeting point

The mind can go outside with senses and inside in

oneness with nature

Nevertheless some change happens

 Information = patterns order--> Life
No life: Chaos diffusion entropy
Life: from chaos concentration = order (syntropy
or negentropy)

Order is based on patterns

Farmers impact soil, plant and animal with order
or information by transferring patterns.
All these manners of transfer always existed.
The ancient agricultures (GIAHS).
Modern agr science starts to discover them as well.

From BD: Hugh Lovel

 Patterns-information in farming
Colors (high Hz)
Sounds and chords (medium Hz)
Minerals, gems (high Hz + form)
Geometric and astrological designs (= form )
Herbs (combi)
Seasonal cycles (lower Hz) + other cosmic patterns

A much deeper understanding would help meeting

challenges we face in agriculture.
