Aura A Theoretical And Practical Research

This comprehensive book, "Aura: A Theoretical and Practical Research" by His Holiness Acharya Shri Vijay Nandighoshsuriji, published by the Research Institute of Scientific Secrets from Indian Oriental Scriptures (RISSIOS), aims to bridge the gap between ancient Jain philosophy and modern scientific understanding, particularly concerning the concept of "aura."

The book is a product of Acharya Nandighoshsuriji's dedication to exploring scientific compatibility with the wisdom preserved in Jain scriptures. It presents a comparative study of Jain canonical texts and various scientific theories, with a particular focus on "aura" as understood in both spiritual and scientific contexts.

Key themes and areas covered in the book include:

• Aura and its Scientific Basis: The book defines aura as a bio-electromagnetic field surrounding all living and non-living objects. It explains the scientific understanding of this field, its connection to the body's energy centers (chakras), and how it can be perceived or captured through techniques like Kirlian photography.
• Jain Philosophy and Aura: The text delves into the Jain concepts that relate to aura, most notably Lēśyās (subtle colors or mental states that influence one's aura). It explains how Lēśyās are formed, their different types (Krishna, Nila, Kapota, Tejo, Padma, Shukla), and their correlation with one's thoughts, emotions, and actions (Karma). The book highlights how the colors of the aura can be seen as manifestations of these Lēśyās.
• Karma and Aura: The book establishes a strong link between an individual's Karma (deeds) and their aura. It posits that good Karma leads to a positive and pure aura, while negative Karma results in a distorted or impure aura. The Jain concept of karmic bondage and its different types (Sprsta, Baddha, Nidhatta, Nikacita) is explained in relation to how these karmas influence the soul and consequently the aura.
• Alternative Therapies and Aura: A significant portion of the book explores various alternative healing modalities and their connection to the aura. This includes:
  • Colour Therapy (Chromopathy): Explaining how different colors affect the body and mind and can be used to balance the aura and heal diseases.
  • Gem Therapy: Discussing the vibrational properties of gemstones and how they can be used to harmonize the aura and address specific health and spiritual imbalances, often linked to astrological influences.
  • Jain Astrology and Aura: The book connects planetary influences in horoscopes with the state of one's aura and suggests specific Jain rituals, mantras, and Tirthankara meditations to mitigate negative astrological effects.
  • Dowsing (Radiesthesia/Radionics): Exploring its use in diagnosing diseases and its reliance on the dowser's bio-electromagnetic field and its harmony with the subject's aura.
  • Reiki Therapy: Presenting Reiki as a universal life force energy that interacts with the human aura and energy centers (chakras) for healing.
  • Magnetic Therapy: Examining the relationship between magnetism, electricity, and the bio-electromagnetic field (aura), and the therapeutic effects of magnets.
  • Pyramid Therapy: Discussing the concept of pyramid energy and its potential to influence the aura and promote healing.
  • Acupressure and Acupuncture: Highlighting how these therapies work with specific energy points in the body that are reflected in the aura.
• Vāstuśāstra and Aura: The book explores the concept of the aura of a residence or place (Vāstu) and its impact on the health and well-being of its inhabitants. It discusses "Geopathic Stress" – disturbances in the Earth's energy fields – and its correlation with Vāstu defects and diseases like cancer, drawing parallels with ancient Jain architectural principles.
• Human Aura Diagnosis and Therapy: The book details how aura imaging can be used for diagnosing diseases, even before physical symptoms manifest. It presents case studies and photographic evidence illustrating the changes in aura before and after various treatments, including meditation, gem therapy, and other alternative methods.
• Practical Research and Case Studies: The book includes practical research findings and case studies, including aura photographs, to support its theoretical discussions. It showcases how Acharya Nandighoshsuriji and his associates have applied scientific methods to study and understand these concepts.

Overall, "Aura: A Theoretical and Practical Research" is a pioneering work that seeks to validate ancient Jain spiritual insights through a modern scientific lens. It encourages a holistic approach to health and well-being, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of an individual, all of which are intricately linked to the concept of aura and Lēśyā as understood within Jainism. The book aims to foster rational inquiry and demonstrate the profound scientific underpinnings of Jain philosophy.
