Enlivening Natural Law, the Essence of Vedic Farming
Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture utilizes effective techniques of organic and sustainable agriculture suitable to the local environment. However, the essence of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture is not the specific methods of farming, which vary from place to place and culture to culture. Merely using organic methods is not enough if Nature is not supportive and balanced. If there are not timely rains, or sufficient sunshine, or life in the soil, then even the best methods will not be effective. Gaining the support of Natural Law is essential for successful agriculture.
In Vedic Agriculture, we are concerned with that agency which converts the soil and air and water into fruits and vegetables. We are concerned with creativity; we are concerned with the Creative Intelligence that is responsible for the balanced expression of that creativity. We want to be sure this agency remains strong and is not weakened in any way. We want to be sure that all the forces responsible for successful agriculture are timely and supportive.
This coordinated intelligence is what will bring together all the needed factors such as sun and rain, temperature, water, plant health, seed vitality, etc. that must be balanced for successful farming. We want all these factors to be supportive of our efforts.
The technologies of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture can be applied directly to enliven Natural Law in the farmer’s awareness and in his environment. This application goes right to the heart of Vedic farming and enhances the support from Nature that can only be gained by living in tune with Natural Law.
