Scientific research by Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay using the Universal Aura Scanner (UAS) to understand the spiritual benefits obtained from the daily activities of sweeping and wiping the floor

Each morning we sweep and wipe the floor of our home. We all must have experienced how after cleaning the house, the atmosphere becomes pleasant. Nowadays, many people wipe the floor using a ‘mop’ as it is physically more convenient and can be done in the standing position, rather than wiping the floor in the traditional way, in the squatting position. Sweeping and wiping being daily chores, a study was conducted using the Universal Aura Scanner (UAS) to study how the one performing these activities and the premises are affected scientifically. The interpretation and subtle analysis of the observations in this study are given ahead.

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 : The following research was carried out in this study.

A. Sweeping the floor and wiping the floor with a mop : On the first day, a woman participating in this study did sweeping and mopping of a room. UAS readings were taken of the subject before sweeping, after sweeping and after mopping the floor and of the room (in all four directions) after sweeping and mopping.

B. Wiping floor in the traditional way : Next day, the participant did sweeping of the same room and wiped the floor in the traditional way. UAS readings were taken of the subject before sweeping, after sweeping and after wiping the floor and of the room (in all four directions) after sweeping and wiping the floor. The observations of the first and second day were studied comparatively.

2. Effect of sweeping and wiping the floor in two ways, on the woman and the room :

On the first day, after sweeping and wiping the floor with a mop, negative energy of the woman and the room either decreased or was nullified and their positive energy increased. Next day, after wiping the floor in the traditional way, negative energy of the woman and the room was nullified and their positive energy increased to a large extent. This becomes apparent from the table given below.

Components	Particulars	Aura of negative Energy (Metre)	Aura of positive Energy (Metre)
1. UAS readings of woman
First day (After sweeping and wiping the floor with a mop)	Before sweeping	3.48	2.78
	After sweeping	1.86	3.98
	After wiping the floor	0	5.67
Second day (wiping the floor in the traditional way)	Before wiping the floor	3.36	2.92
	After wiping the floor	0	7.46

Readings of Room (four directions)
2 A. First day (After sweeping, the floor was wiped with a mop)

The East direction of the room	Before sweeping	1.72	0.80
	After sweeping	0	2.13
	After wiping the floor	0	3.38
The West direction of the room	Before sweeping	1.98	0.74
	After sweeping	0	1.48
	After wiping the floor	0	2.94
The South direction of the room	Before sweeping	2.46	0
	After sweeping	0	2.97
	After wiping the floor	0	4.35
The North direction of the room	Before sweeping	0.92	1.20

After sweeping	0	3.38
After wiping the floor	0	5.52

2 B. Second day (wiping the floor in the traditional way with hands) Note – After wiping the floor with hands, due to insufficient area for measuring the positive energy of the room, the exact aura could not be measured. Therefore, ‘more than’ has been written before those figures in the Table.
The East direction of the room	Before wiping the floor	0.80	1.37
	After wiping the floor	0	More than 4.42
The West direction of the room	Before wiping the floor	1.04	1.26
	After wiping the floor	0	More than 4.90
The South direction of the room	Before wiping the floor	1.63	0
	After wiping the floor	0	More than 5.52
The North direction of the room	Before wiping the floor	0	1.70
	After wiping the floor	0	More than 7.10

3. Conclusion :

The daily actions of sweeping and wiping the floor have positive effects on the one performing the action and the premises. The study showed that the positive energy (Sattvikta) in the woman and the room increased much more when the floor was wiped in the traditional way than with a mop. From this, it can be derived that wiping the floor in the traditional way is more beneficial than wiping the floor with a mop.

4. Spiritual analysis of the observations in the study

4 A. By doing the actions of sweeping and wiping the floor the woman is spiritually benefited : The woman in the study swept the floor (bending forward leaning on the right side). Later, she wiped the floor in the squatting posture in the traditional way that is using her right hand. While performing these actions, due to the posture of her body her Surya nadi (Sun channel) got activated and this created a protective covering around her. Therefore, while performing the actions of sweeping and wiping the floor with hands, the distressing covering around her reduced and her Sattvikta increased to a large extent.

4 B. The Vastu was purified by sweeping and wiping the floor : After the woman swept the floor, the raja-tama vibrations present there reduced or were nullified. While wiping the floor, the distressing vibrations of the floor were destroyed due to the Absolute Water principle (Apatattva). Therefore the vastu (premises) was purified.

4 C. Compared to wiping the floor with a mop, wiping it in the traditional way is more beneficial : While wiping the floor in the traditional way, the posture of the body is not the same as when wiping with a mop. Secondly, while wiping the floor in the traditional way, the cloth is cleaned more frequently in between wiping. Therefore, the floor gets cleaned in a better way. Similarly, the distressing vibrations present there are nullified and Chaitanya (Divine Consciousness) is created. Therefore, happiness is experienced after cleaning the house.

5. Efforts to maintain the Sattvikta generated in the vastu during the act of sweeping and wiping the floor : Before sweeping, one should pray and chant to make it a Sattvik action. A pinch of vibhuti (Holy ash) should be added to the water to be used for wiping the floor. Due to the Sattvikta of the vibhuti, wiping the floor with the water containing vibhuti, helps to eliminate the distressing vibrations on the floor. Before wiping the floor, one should pray to Jaldevata (Deity of water) as ” Let the covering of distressing vibrations from the floor be removed through the water with vibhuti.” The wet cloth used to wipe the floor should be rinsed in clean water in between. After wiping the floor, one should pray to the Vastudevata (Deity of the premises) to keep the Sattvikta created in the house intact, by lighting incense sticks.

Due to old age or physical ailments, some people are unable to bend at the waist while sweeping or wiping the floor with hands in the squatting position. Therefore, they do this action in a standing posture. At that time, they should pray sincerely to their Favourite Deity to create a protective covering around them and chant during the actions. By this, they will be protected from the distressing vibrations.
