Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Dear List, In the Indian newspapers I have read many times that in the temples Indian propitiate to the deities making puja and yagna when there are droughts. ( To Ganesha, Varuna, etc...). Varuna is the deity of element water. But one friend in Dominican Republic told me that in his country there was a Vedic group that generated raining reciting daily some verses from Rig Veda in agnihotra and homa. They said that it rained in five days. I added the file with the verses Sanskrit with Roman translitereted and translated to English and Spanish. It are Rig Veda, Book V, 83; book VII, 101, 102, 103. It is said that the rishi recited the first three verses and after raining he composed the fourth verse for the frogs. I DON'T HAVE TESTED IT. Because I live in Japan and in this country it rains many days. Please, if somebody tested it with good results informs me. I am not esceptical, but I don't know if it is truth or lie. Forgive me all for my not well English one. (Dear Latha has a lot of work by reason of my messages). A greeting to all.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 in all things there is some sort of magic. when people individually or as a group have a strong wish, the world can respond. it is not like flicking on a light switch. also, we do not know what was possible when we did not live in this world of objects and ego. it is said, siddhis [powers] can come and go. when the objective is god, they are signs of one's focus, but are not given exceptional notice, but filed under: 'all of manifestation.' the entire mentality has to change dor this kind of thing to work. sadhana is like that. it takes a life time. and then, we are fit to see god. that is a miracle in itself, and even then, maybe, still no rain. but you no longer care in the same way. pranams, steve , "Saraswati" <est_mios@s...> wrote: > Dear List, > > In the Indian newspapers I have read many times that in the temples > Indian propitiate to the deities making puja and yagna when there are > droughts.
