Measurement of Aura Field - an experiment

While we were at Dandi Ashram on 5^th and 6^th of July, during the lunch break after the morning session of the Madhuchaitanya Board meeting, Rambhai invited the entire Editorial Board to the big meditation hall. We were wondering why he had called us – thinking that it may be a bhajan session or something of the sort. Dr. Singh and I were waiting near the hall when Rambhai accompanied by a sevadhari carrying an industrial measuring tape joined us. 6 other Board members joined us shortly, of which 4 were gents and 4 ladies.

Once inside, Rambhai explained that he was going to test the length of our aura using two copper rods bent in an ‘L’ shape – one foot by 4 inches or so. Along with the copper rods he had two pieces of hollow bamboo about five inches long in which he could insert the short arm of the ‘L’ shape so that the rod could move freely. He told us he got inspiration for this experiment from a place in Bhilwara, Rajasthan where he saw a similar experiment being carried out in a ‘Gowshala’. After he came back to Dandi he had this simple instrument ready and tested it on a few sadhaks and it worked.

The experiment now was to test the aura field under normal circumstances and after taking 5 rounds of the ‘havan kund’ at the ashram to check for any change in the field.

One by one he checked the aura of the members present – he placed both the rods in the bamboo pieces and held the bamboo pieces in each hand with both fists touching each other. Those of us who were close to the person being tested were asked to move away so that the auras did not inter-mingle. The copper rods were parallel to each other – Rambhai held these rods about a foot from the person and started slowly moving backwards in a straight line. When he had gone some distance the rods started moving outwards, and when they had moved completely outward, Rambhai stopped and the distance was measured with the tape – 26 feet. Each person was tested and the aura varied from 20 feet to 35 feet of the people present.

After this we went to the havan kund took five rounds and returned and the same process was carried out. Each and every person’s aura field had increased by 5 to 15 feet. This goes to show that by just taking rounds of the havan kund your aura gets cleansed and expands. The next morning we sat for the havan and again tested our aura, it had increased by another 5 to 10 feet.

This was quite fascinating and fun. No aura colours or quality of the aura field but just the distance was measured. Quite interesting - with such a simple mechanism which anyone can set up!
