Mahashivratri vrat (vowed religious observance) is observed on Magha Krushna Paksha Chaturdashi (Fourteenth day of the dark fortnight in the eleventh month of Magha as per Hindu lunar calendar). On Mahashivratri, the Shiva principle is a thousand times more active than usual. On this day, there is a tradition of worshipping Deity Shiva, performing Abhishek (consecration by ritualistic bathing with water, milk, etc.), ritualistic worship and remaining awake. On Mahashivratri (on 21.2.2020) some Sanatan seekers performed Abhishek on the Shivapindi at an ashram in

Mr. Ashish Sawant using the U.A.S. device for the experiment

Dhamse,Goa. On behalf of Maharishi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay, spiritual research was conducted using the UAS (Universal Aura Scanner) device to study the benefits an individual gets spiritually by performing Abhishek on the Shivapindi on Mahashivratri. The interpretation and spiritual analysis of the observations in the study are given next.

The Universal Aura Scanner (UAS) was developed in 2005 by Dr. Mannem Murthy, a former nuclear scientist from Telengana. By using this instrument the energy and the aura of an object, a premises, an animal or an individual can be measured.

1. Interpretation of the observations in the study

1 A. By doing Abhishek on the Shivapindi, the seekers were positively affected : This can be understood from the table given ahead.

Seekers in the study		Negative Energy Aura (Metre)	Positive Energy Aura (Metre)
1. Seeker with spiritual distress	Before Abhishek	1.90	0
	After Abhishek	1.42	0
2. Seeker with no spiritual distress	Before Abhishek	0	1.80
	After Abhishek	0	2.36

Following points become clear from the above table.

1. After Abhishek, the negative energy aura in the seeker having spiritual distress reduced.

2. After Abhishek, the positive energy aura in the seeker having no spiritual distress increased.

2. Spiritual analysis of the observations in the study

2 A. By worshipping Deity Shiva on Mahashivratri, the pressure created by the evil forces reduced : ‘Deity Shiva rests in one of the four prahars of the night on Magh Vadya Chaturdashi (a full day is made up of 8 prahars, 4 during daytime and 4 at night. Each prahar is of 3 hours). On Mahashivratri, the timing of Shiva Puja is between 12 am and 1.30 am. This time is about an hour and a half. As per the scriptures the science behind worshipping Deity Shiva on Mahashivratri is as given ahead. In the period of Deity Shiva’s rest, the Shiva principle is not active, that is, at that time, Deity Shiva passes from the state of meditation to the state of Samadhi (A super-conscious state of meditative union with the Absolute God Principle). The Samadhi state of Deity Shiva is the time when He is doing Sadhana for Himself. So the tama component or the Halahal (literally meaning poison) from the Universe is not accepted by the Shiva principle at that time. Therefore, the amount of chaos in the Universe increases, that is the pressure of evil forces increases tremendously. To avoid its effect on us, Bel leaves (Aegle marmelos), white flowers, Rudraksha garlands that attract maximum Shiva principle are offered on the Shivapindi or the Shiva principle in the environment is attracted by performing abhishek.Therefore, the effect of the increased pressure of evil forces is not felt as much as it should be.’ (Ref : Sanatan website – https://www.sanatan.org/en/mahashivratri)

2 B. Reasons for reduction of negative energy in spiritually distressed seeker after Abhishek : After performing Abhishek on the Shivapindi, the Chaitanya (Shiva principle) emitted from it was absorbed by the seeker according to his capacity. Therefore, the negative energy present in the centre created by the distressing energy inside the seeker and the black covering around him were destroyed, thus reducing his negative energy.

2 C. Reason for increase in the positive energy aura of the seeker with no spiritual distress after Abhishek : This seeker had positive energy and no negative energy. After  abhishek at the Shivapindi, the seeker received the Chaitanya (Shiva principle) emitted from it. Therefore, his positive energy aura increased.
