Jorge Cabrera Arca reports from Lima, Peru, South America.

In two months I will be 80 years old. As background information, I have been a heavy smoker for more than 30 years. I usually smoked 2 packets of cigarettes a day and on weekends and holidays, I smoked close to 3 packets.

Mrs. Manisha Sonwane has an allergy to the brinjals* which she brings from the market. If she eats those brinjals her throat gets swollen & becomes red. Then she has to visit the doctor.

She is my neighbour. When I visited her to give her my garden brinjals she told me of her allergy. I told her not to worry, just try these brinjals.

Here everything is in good progress. We are sending you some pictures of the vegetables from our little HOMA ORGANIC GARDEN in Amalner city, which is in the dry land region of Central India where temperatures reach up to 48 degrees in summer.

We planted vegetables like lady finger, two different types of gourd, beans, lemons, etc. We do daily sunrise & sunset Agnihotra & regularly some Om Trambakam Homa.

Mr Subhash Chandra Chajed 72yrs. old and his wife, Mrs Kusum Chajed 68 yrs. old. Mr Subhash is suffering from diabetes and hypertension. Mrs Kusum suffers from sciatica. We suggested that they perform Agnihotra at sunset & sunrise. They immediately started performing Agnihotra.

From Armenia, Quindio, Colombia we received the following letter with wonderful news:
"In Armenia, things are going very well. In the 'Botica de la Abuela', we are increasing the Homa fires: Madre Dora does Agnihotra in the morning which is followed by 4 hours of Tryambakam, which is supported by everyone. Each person does half an hour. At sunset, the Agnihotra pyramids are lit in the different work places (kitchen, shop, meeting room, yoga hall) and simultaneously we sing the Agnihotra Mantra.

The following points are answers to questions frequently asked by people who are beginning Agnihotra and Yajnya.

On August 11, 2011 my son Matt and I took off for Puerto Rico, to be joined later by Dr Henry Gregory of the Baltimore Homa Community. We had been invited to give some talks on Homa Therapy and to set up a Resonance Point at a bed and breakfast called Casa Picaflores, in the rainforest.

I am pleased to inform you that we demonstrated and started Agnihotra at ADHAR Orphanage, at Kanabargi Village near Belgaum.

This particular institution was started by a young philanthropist, Mr. Mahesh Jadhav, one year ago. The specialty of this orphanage is that the orphans are of HIV affected parents. Starting with 6 kids the total inmates today are 43. This NGO does not receive any help from the government and is totally supported by the charity from people in the society.

We gave an interview at Acik Radio in Istanbul, Turkey with Mrs.Melda Keskin (English and Turkish).
