Seven Pillars of a Vedic Agriculture Project
Life is holistic. For any project to be comprehensively beneficial to all life, it must take into account and nourish all aspects of life, throughout all levels of creation. This type of holistic approach is the special focus of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Projects.
The following are the seven pillars that support any Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Project:
Beginning & Managing a Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Project
The Maharishi Vedic Procedures of Farming and Environmental Management, described above, are implemented and certified through the Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Institute, and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Global Country of World Peace. They can be applied on individual farm projects, on village or area projects, or even on a state or national basis. These procedures are easy to implement, cost effective for any farming budget and effective for a comprehensive enhancement of all types of farming and agricultural activities.
Procedures for training farmers in the Transcendental Meditation® technique and TM-Sidhi programme will be provided by the authorized organizations teaching this programme in over 100 countries, under the guidance and supervision of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Institute. More information and contact details of the local Transcendental Meditation organizations can be found on www.globalcountry.org or www.tm.org or by contacting the international or regional offices of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Institute.
The Maharishi Vedic Agriculture Procedures of Farming and Environmental Management, including engaging the Vedic Pandits to perform Vedic recitations, will be arranged by the Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Institute. The size of the project will determine the scale of the application of the procedures. Sufficient coherence has to be generated through the practice of the Vedic technologies of Consciousness in order to achieve the transformations that are required. This is a subtle and pervasive science, the knowledge of which is contained in the Vedic Yagya technologies themselves.
Individual farms, cooperatives, or agricultural and environmental projects wishing to begin this programme should contact the international of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Institute.
The practical steps are as follows:
1. The farm or project should contact Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Institute to set up an implementation plan, which will include organizing the training of the programme participants in the Maharishi Technologies of Consciousness and the implementation plan for the Maharishi Vedic Agriculture Procedures of Farming and Environmental Management.
2. The project should ensure that the organic standards of the nation where the products will be sold have been implemented and certified.
3. Smaller farms and even community gardens can participate in the programme either individually or by forming cooperatives, whereby all the smaller units in the project can take part through this organisational structure.
4. Agricultural educational institutions and programmes can contact the MVOA Institute about courses and training programmes that can be offered in their institution, along with published materials explaining the theory and practice of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture and Environmental Management.
