Abstract

Homa is a scientific process which consists of making 32 offerings per day 16 at sunrise and 16 at sunset of Ayurvedic herbs mixed with cow ghee to fire, along with by chanting of Vedic mantras. Though Homa is a vedic ritual but as per belief  it has a scientific significance too and therefore we decided to study the wondrous effects of Homa  fumes on environment and plant growth. Experiments were regularly conducted to study the effects of Homa fumes on simulated acid rain SOx and NOx levels on environment and plant growth. Experiments were also conducted to check the effects of Homa ash on eco-physiological characters of Glycine max. From the study it was found  that Homa resulted in reduction in the sox level but slight increase in NOx level in surrounding air. There was significant increase in seed germination and plant growth as well as eco-physiological characters due to Homa. Our results suggested that Homa  fumes can be used to reduce  the acid rain effects. Thus, it can be  deduced that Homa is beneficial for environmental and Agricultural aspects.
