MOSCOW, March 4, 2025 — Russian entrepreneur and spiritual practitioner Vyacheslav Vasilyuk has launched AUM YogaFerma, the world’s first agricultural-backed cryptocurrency aimed at promoting chemical-free farming practices globally. The initiative, which reached a market capitalization of $500,000 within 72 hours of launch, represents a unique intersection of blockchain technology, sustainable agriculture, and Eastern spiritual principles.
Vasilyuk, who owns 1,000 hectares of chemical-free farmland in Russia, conceived the project following his transformative experience at India’s sacred Kumbh Mela festival. “After performing ablutions in the Ganges alongside hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, I experienced a profound spiritual revelation,” said Vasilyuk. “I realized that creating a community-driven cryptocurrency could become a powerful force for promoting sustainable farming practices worldwide.”
Unlike conventional memecoins, AUM YogaFerma is backed by tangible agricultural assets—specifically chemical-free wheat production. Vasilyuk characterizes the current state of industrial farming as a “food genocide,” noting that over 50% of Russian wheat goes toward feeding livestock rather than directly nourishing people, creating what he calls a destructive cycle of environmental degradation and health consequences.
“Large agricultural enterprises aggressively use fertilizers and chemical additives to increase yields, creating a slow-motion catastrophe,” Vasilyuk explained. “After using chemicals, the soil is dead. Cancer rates are significantly higher in regions with industrial-scale agricultural production, and patients are getting younger—people in their 40s with cancer is becoming the norm, not the exception.”
The cryptocurrency has seen remarkable growth since its Q1 2025 launch, with peak growth reaching 2,500% before stabilizing into what Vasilyuk describes as “organic growth patterns.” The project now attracts investors from multiple countries who share the founder’s vision of clean agriculture.
“AUM is not a memecoin in the classical sense,” Vasilyuk clarified. “By name it may be classified as such, but in essence, it’s a community coin carrying specific meaning and concrete benefits. My goal is to draw attention to agricultural issues and encourage people to consider the impact of chemicals on health and the environment.”
The project team is currently developing models to integrate the cryptocurrency into the real economy, particularly in the agricultural sector. Future plans include using the coins for interest-free business loans to eco-farmers, with token holders receiving dividends without needing to sell their holdings.
Vasilyuk’s journey to this point began with a health crisis at age 33, which led him to adopt raw food practices before embracing Buddhism during travels in Tibet and India. He received the spiritual name Pavan Chander Sigh at a Buddhist monastery, where his immersion in yoga and meditation transformed his worldview.
When questioned about potential contradictions between spiritual practices and cryptocurrency ventures, Vasilyuk emphasized transparency: “For me, yoga isn’t just an image of someone sitting in lotus position. Yoga as mindfulness manifests in all areas of life, including business. The project is completely transparent—I’m open to communication, welcome like-minded individuals, and don’t hide my name or business. If I deceive someone now, the same will return to me according to karma.”
The AUM YogaFerma community continues to expand as the project attracts those who share Vasilyuk’s commitment to ecological principles. “Those seeking quick profits have already made their money and left,” he noted. “Those who remain understand the meaning and are ready to develop the project. Together, we can make our earth cleaner.”
