Reviving Soil, Protecting Crops, Restoring Balance

Under the guidance of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, AOL - SSIAST promotes ancient, indigenous cow-based natural farming inputs that bring back the sattva (life force) of soil, protects crops naturally, and create a self-reliant, eco-friendly farming system.

Natural Farming Solutions – Healthy Soil, Sustainable Harvests

Harnessing the power of indigenous cow-based preparations, plant extracts, and ancient Vedic practices, these natural inputs revive soil health, protect crops, enhance biodiversity, and empower farmers to cultivate sustainably—creating a harmonious balance between nature, crops, and communities.

Jeevamrut – Bringing Soil Back to Life

Soil is a living ecosystem, bustling with beneficial microbes that form the foundation of fertility. Chemical fertilizers disrupt this delicate balance, but cow-based Jeevamrut restores it naturally. Made by fermenting gomay (indigenous cow dung), gomutra (cow urine), jaggery, flour, and undisturbed soil, Jeevamrut multiplies beneficial microbes enriching the soil, improving nutrient availability for plants, building natural immunity against pests and diseases, and reviving the overall vitality—or sattva—of the soil.

Ghana Jeevamrut

Ghana Jeevamrut is the solid form of Jeevamrut, prepared into tennis-ball-sized pellets without water. Ideal for rainy seasons when liquid application is difficult, the beneficial microbes remain dormant during drying and reactivate upon contact with water, ensuring the soil continues to receive its life-restoring microbial boost.

Bio-Pesticides – Natural Crop Protectors

Instead of harmful chemicals, natural farming uses plant extracts, cow-based formulations, and beneficial microbes to fight pests.

Brahmastra

Brahmastra is a natural, broad-spectrum pest control solution effective against caterpillars and larvae. Made from cow-based and plant ingredients, it is eco-friendly, preserves soil microbes, reduces chemical dependency, and supports sustainable farming while protecting long-term soil health.

Neemastra

Neemastra uses neem’s natural properties to repel sap-sucking insects and inhibit pest growth. It offers fungicidal protection, enhances plant health and yield, and empowers farmers to manage pests sustainably while maintaining soil fertility and biodiversity.

Agniastra & Dashparni Ark

Agniastra and Dashparni Ark are plant-based pest repellents using chili, garlic, neem, and other extracts. Effective against chewing and sucking insects, they are environmentally safe, enhance plant resilience, and help farmers achieve chemical-free crop protection.

Sour Buttermilk Sprays

Sour buttermilk sprays act as a natural fungicide, preventing fungal infections and boosting plant growth. Rich in calcium, they support soil health, encourage chemical-free farming, and strengthen crop resilience and yield using easily available resources.

Agnihotra – Harnessing Cosmic Energy for Farming

Agnihotra is an ancient Vedic fire ritual performed at sunrise and sunset, aligning with natural rhythms to promote harmony and purification. It purifies the air and soil, reduces pollution and pathogens, and produces ash that acts as a potent organic fertilizer and bio-pesticide. This practice protects plants, animals, and human health while creating a peaceful, healing atmosphere for communities.

Agnihotra is a holistic practice, blending sound, fire, and natural elements to cleanse, energize, and enrich farms and the environment.
