Parama Dham

Parama Dham (house of almighty father)

Ultimately after 41 years performing daily Agnihotra I was able to bow to the first Agnihotra Temple on this Planet in Madison Virginia. It has been inaugurated on 22 September 1973 and since then daily Agnihotra and minimum 4 hours of Tryambakam Yajnya is performed in an area maintained totally silence. No words are spoken except specific Mantras. 

Those who practicing regular Meditation will find, what takes you hours to achieve will be experienced immediately in this blessed atmosphere. Peace of mind assured.

When we drive down into the forest the first building on the right is Parama Dham. A little ahead in separate houses people devoted to Agnihotra fire live. It is a small settlement in harmony with nature. Deer roam around and two Indian cows feed peacefully in the field. 

Richard and Lisa have dedicated their lives and keep the disciplines at this place. Other families who live close by help to maintain the many hours of daily Yajnya.  Regularly group meetings are conducted (Satsang). People as far a Baltimore and sometimes other parts of the US come to participate. During Satsang there is joy in music, play and reading of deep spiritual text which is uplifting. 

Richard is drying cowdung and producing Agnihotra supplies like the copper Pyramids etc. (Agnihotra…enter website). Lisa is editing and producing the monthly Satsang journal which is a free online service for all who like to know more about Agnihotra and the Fivefold Path. The settlement is located at a charming lake which has a very ancient legacy of healing quality. It dates back about 40000 years. 

Our sisters and brothers who live around there are very near to my heart. Everyone is a saintly being. With deep gratitude I thank our Masterji SHREE for HIS grace to be in their company. 

 Frank my wonderful host took me to the Homa Therapy family at Baltimore for a Sharanagati performance (a Mantra fire recitation) at Henrys and Jeanette’s house. Other sisters of the family have also participated. From there we went with Tom, Ann and Geetha to the Ancient Oak farm a beautiful farm with two cows. From there we visited the place where the first Agnihotra Press began in Randallstown Kuntz Rd. What a blessing to sit in the attic where SHREE Vasant use to live and performed HIS Tapas.  Everywhere say in Madison and Baltimore it was so divinely uplifting to hear these blessed stories regarding SHREE. The idea came up to record all those different experiences and stories to preserve them for our future generations for that Matt’s (son of Lisa and Richard) lovely girlfriend Joana sponsored a voice recorder to me, since I told her that I am not so good in writing….Smile. 

Last we greeted Tom D. who life at Kuntz Rd. one of the first devoted brothers who served SHREE and the family all his live.
