Enlivening Natural Law – The Essence of Vedic Farming

Gaining Support of Natural Law is Essential for Successful Agriculture

The Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture program will utilize effective techniques of sustainable agriculture suitable to the local environment. However, the essence of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture goes beyond method. Methods of farming vary from place to place and culture to culture. There are many good, well-tested methods of organic farming that Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture has and will continue to adopt for its programs. Method, however, 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.

The real and most fundamental concern of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture is how lively, balanced and supportive is the Creative Intelligence of Natural Law in the farmer, in the plants and in the environment.

Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture is concerned with that agency which converts the soil and air and water into fruits and vegetables. It is concerned with the Creative Intelligence that is responsible for growth, and with the balanced expression of that creativity. We want to be sure this agency remains strong and is not weakened by negative forces. We want to be sure that all the 40 fundamental structuring dynamics of Natural Law responsible for successful agriculture are timely and supportive.

So when we speak of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture, we are speaking of the creative and perfectly coordinated Intelligence of Natural Law– the balanced expression of all the Laws of Nature, the balanced expression of all the 40 fundamental qualities of Natural Law. This is what will bring together all the needed factors such as sun and rain, temperature, water, plant health, seed vitality, etc. that must be coordinated for successful farming. We want all these factors to be supportive to our efforts. We do not want rain when we need sun or sun when we need rain.

How can this be achieved? This can be achieved when the farmers practice Maharishi Vedic Technologies of Consciousness and the appropriate procedures of Vedic farming to enliven the Unified Field of Natural Law in their own awareness and in their fields. It is from this level that balance in Nature can be achieved.

The fully enlivened awareness of the farmer along with the direct application of the 40 aspects of Veda and the Vedic Literature to the farm will ensure that Natural Law has been enlivened to its greatest extent in the farmer and in the farm.
