• India produces the largest number of vegetable crops with as many

as 61 annual and four perennial vegetable crops.

• India is the second largest producer of vegetables in the world.

Introduction

• Tomato is one of the most widely grown vegetable crop in India

(FAO, 2013).

• Pranic Agriculture is a holistic concept of farming systems. It

includes the whole invisible, subtle energy aspects of all of nature’s

life forms. It also includes the large communities of invisible beings

which are an intrinsic and important part of any nature system.

Review of Literature

(Sui 1987) Plants and trees absorb prana from sunlight, air, water and

ground.

Many years ago the FBI conducted a revolutionary experiment with

plants. plants were connected to a lie detector to measure their electric

field output. Different types of ‘test people’ then came into contact with

the plants. (Reid, 2012).

Every object including man, plants and trees are surrounded by an

energy field called bioplasmic body or ‘Aura’.

In a pilot study by Jois (2014) on Tomato harvest Pranic Healing

group produced 24% greater tomato yield compared with control

group. Farmers also noticed that truss of Pranic healing plants were

bigger and leaf of Pranic Healing plants were broader along with better

colour in Pranic Healing group tomatoes.

Pranic Agriculture Protocol for Agricultural Land

• Invoking for the Divine blessings

• Invoking the blessings of angels of nature spirits

• Scanning the land and rescanning during the healing

• Soil was prepared by cleaning and energizing two weeks• Soil was prepared by cleaning and energizing two weeks

before planting. The land was cleaned 10 feet below and 30

feet above using LWG and LWV

• The land was energised using red Prana

• Stabilizing the projected energy

Pranic Agriculture Protocol on Seeds

1. Invoking the blessing of Supreme God,

Masters

2. The seeds were scanned and rescanning

during the healing

3. One week before sowing, the seeds were

cleaned using LWG and LWV and

Pre Pranic Healing

cleaned using LWG and LWV and

energizing with EV. The procedure was

applied twice a week

4. Stabilizing the projected energy

5. Thanks giving prayer

Note: Prana application in agriculture is not a substitute for good farming

practices instead it is complimentary and supplementary in nature.

Main Findings of the Study

• Pranic Group plants height an increase of 18.5% compared to

Control Group

• Pranic Group plants had 12.05% more diameter than control group.

• When group-wise flowers was verified, Pranic healing group plants

had 31.75% more flowers per plant than control group.

• When group-wise yield was verified, Pranic energy yielded had

significantly 31.10% more than control group.

• Pranic Treatment play a very effective role in controlling the weight

loss, shrinkage percentage and other compositional changes such as

titratable acidity, total soluble solids content of tomatoes stored at

both room and refrigerated temperature

Verification of the Hypotheses

H1 Whether there will be differential effects on experimental and control group in terms of yield

Accepted

H2 Whether there will be differential effects on experimental and control group in terms of quality

Accepted

H3 Whether there will be differential effects on experimental and control group in terms of faster growth

Accepted

H4 Whether there will be differential effects on experimental and control group in terms of shelf life

Accepted

Conclusion

� Two distinct aspects of Pranic agriculture – application of pranic

energy as well as pranic healing (scanning and cleansing) – and their

impact were distinctly visible during the study.

� The data recorded during the initial visits reflect the impact on the

growth of the plant, number of trusses, the foliage and the flowering.

� The data recorded during the later visits (subsequent to infestation

owing to unseasonal rains) reflect the impact due to healing on

continued flowering and yield.

� Holistic farm management which leads a path towards Sustainable

Agriculture.
