Annual Report of 2014-15, National Trust

Report on Sahaj Krishi Programme:

By the grace of our Divine Mother, the way of Sahaj Krishi was opened for prachar and prasar of Sahaja yoga, particularly in the rural India. Through HER Divine Planning, H.H. Shri Mataji guided us to start programme on Sahaj Krishi on large scale w.e.f. 2011-12.

Initial Work:

Initially this programme was limited to a few states viz. Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh etc being done sporadically by a few Sahaj Yogi Farmers.

Workshops and Meetings:

When reports from different corners started receiving and indicating Shri Mataji’s Divine power giving positive responses in increasing Agricultural production, a decision at National Trust level was taken to hold All India workshops and meetings on this subject.

Accordingly, the first National Level seminar on Sahaj Krishi was held at Jaipur (Rajasthan) in February 2012. Thereafter, on various occasions almost every year such meetings / workshops were held and Sahaj yogis were guided and motivated to undertake Sahaj Krishi work so that through it Sahaj Yoga propagation could take place.

Status up to 2014-15:

Again, due to H.H. Shri Mataji’s blessings and collective work, this message spread very fast amongst the Sahaj Yogi and Non Sahaj Yogi farmers spread over different states in India. Hence, a National Level Sahaj Agriculture Committee was formed involving interested and active Sahaj Yogis from various states.

Guidance and proper counselling was done at regular interval and up to the year 2014-15, the Sahaj Krishi work which was limited to a few states had spread in 20 states in India. Through collective efforts we could estimate that in the last 4 years almost 3 to 4 Lakhs farmers throughout India received the message of Sahaj Krishi and nearly 1 Lakh farmers had started adopting Sahaj Krishi and achieving its benefits.

Breakthrough:

The Divine Mother led us to a breakthrough, when our Vice Chairman of the National Trust explained the entire work to officials and scientists of Krishi Bhavan, New Delhi in April – May 2015. Impressed by the whole work and approach helping the common farmers, the Ministry of Agriculture, New Delhi arranged a joint meeting of Sahaj Yoga team and officials and scientists of Krishi Bhavan / ICAR on 20^th May 2015, where a decision was taken to undertake Sahaj Krishi experimental work on 10 selected National Research Centres (NRCs) of the ICAR.

Proceedings of All India Sahaj Krishi Workshop, Chindawada (MP), 21^st -22^nd March 2015

All India Sahaj Krishi Workshop for all Sahaj yogis/yoginis actively engaged in this programme was conducted at Chindawada (MP) during the
Birthday Puja of H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. The programme was organized in two parts, on 21^st Macrh evening and on 22nd March ’15. In all, 192
participants (Ladies and Gents) representing 15 states of India took part in the workshop.

The National Trustees, Mr. Dinesh Rai (Vice Chairman), Mr. B. N. Tiwari,Col. B. J. Mankotia, Mr. Shrichand Chaudhari (I/c Prachar Prasar) along
with Dr. M. B. Kulkarni took active part in the discussions and decision making.

The following issues were discussed and decisions taken:
On the evening of 21st March general feedback from all the participating farmers was obtained. An overall consensus was that by the blessings of H.H. Shri Mataji, every farmer doing Sahaj Krishi has been getting unbelievable positive and encouraging results. Some farmers actually brought crop samples to show the difference between vibrated and non-vibrated crops. It was suggested that in every seminar (National Level) topic on Sahaj Krishi must be included with at least 1 – 2 Hrs of deliberations.

On 22^nd March morning 7 am all of them assembled in the Puja pendal. Mr. G. D. Pareek, Mr. Nagaraju and Mr. Mohanti demonstrated all essential and required aspects of Sahaj Krishi – including prachar – prasar in villages. Dr. M.B. Kulkarni briefly explained the action plan for all for the year 2015-16 and also future research on some important aspects. After prolonged discussions, the following decisions were taken:

Every participant will demonstrate to his/her neighboring farmers benefits of Sahaj Krishi, motivate them, give them self realization and will bring  at least 5 new farmers to Sahaja yoga collectively during 2015..16

Dr. M. B. Kulkarni, Mr. G. D. Pareek, Mr. Nagaraju and Mr. Mohanti will adopt one village each in their respective states and will convert that entire village farming community into Sahaj yogis, encourage them to do Sahaj Krishi and will turn that village into “Sahaj Krishi Gram” in the year 2015-16. (Action All concerned)
               In order to meet emergency expenses, printing expenses (Krishi literature/pamphlets etc) a token budget/financial provision be made to
each state so as to boost up this programme. Details will be worked out and proposal will be submitted to the National Trust. (Action- Dr. M. B.
Kulkarni)
               So far, data collection, gathering feedback information has been unsatisfactory. Hence, a mechanism to streamline this aspect was developed.
Every farmer will be sent a printed reply paid post card to get needed data (brief). The farmer has to fill up information in that card and send it back to Mr. G. D. Pareek. (Action-Mr. G. D. Pareek)
Dr. M. B. Kulkarni proposed an experiment to deal with the climatic changes that harm crop production of farmers bringing heavy economic losses. He proposed to create a “Simulation Model” (most probably at the Pratishthan, Pune) to study this aspect. It was expressed that by the blessings of H.H. Shri Mataji, this would provide a divine solution for farmers.
Mr. G. D. Pareek will prepare a detailed note (Paper) on Sahaj Krishi (On the lines given to him) for discussion and presentation to the Secretary, Agriculture – Govt of India. This is as per the suggestion of Mr. Dinesh Rai (VC)

Such workshops will be organized zone wise (Action – Mr. Shrichand Chaudhari)
                   The meeting was concluded with a prayer of gratitude to our Divine Mother, to all participants and National Trustees.
