"There is little value in knowing plants, animals and minerals unless one can find the stars working in each one of them"
Rudolf Steiner
All About Me
My first exposure to Biodynamic Agriculture was in the early 1990’s when I met Peter Proctor. The quote from the founder of Biodynamic Agriculture, Rudolf Steiner, “Every farm is a self contained individuality with a soul of its own” resonated with my instinctive opinion. I enrolled in Peter’s first training program on Biodynamic Agriculture in India and continued to work with Peter for many years where I taught classes with him, worked under different agro climatic conditions, and spiritually immersed myself with the various biodynamic preparations. I also authored a book, "Organic and Biodynamic Farming" in Tamil language to spread the word to non-English speaking local farmers in my state. As the interest in Biodynamic agriculture slowly began to grow in South East Asia, I found myself involved in teaching Biodynamic Agriculture to farmers throughout India, Thailand, China, Korea, Qatar and Egypt. Over the period of three decades, I have continued to organise and conduct hundreds of biodynamic agriculture courses for a myriad of enthusiasts including part time gardeners, landscapers, horticulturists, organic farmers, and even entire villages.
​
I am one of the founding members of the Biodynamic Association of India and served as Managing Committee member for several terms, and headed the "Training and Advisory" sub-committee for a few years. Starting from 2004, I have been actively involved in helping various farms in South East Asia obtain the Demeter Biodynamic certification. Since 2009, I have been listed as an International Advisor to the Biodynamic Federation Demeter International. I am currently on the Advisory Research and Training committee of Biodynamic Federation Demeter International.
​
I have spent most of my life with plants, soil, and Biodynamic philosophy and continue to learn from nature. I enjoy talking about the concepts, techniques, and the magic of Biodynamic agriculture with anybody and everybody. I am very passionate and will go out of the way to help you in your Biodynamic Journey. Whether you are a first time gardener or a well seasoned multi-generational farmer, you will always find an advice or few from your friendly Biodynamic consultant Jaison.
