When Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale recited Shriramraksha stotra, the Deity Principle in the picture of Shriram became active, because of His yearning for the welfare of society

In our homes, it is customary to recite Shriramraksha stotra and Shri Maruti stotra along with ‘Shubham Karoti’ after lighting a lamp at twilight in the temple at home. Ramraksha was composed by Sage Budakaushik. Evolved Sages receive inspiration for such compositions through the Paravani [Mode of speech of a Seer where one experiences Advait (Non-duality with God)]. There is reference in texts by Sage Budakaushik that ‘Ramraksha was revealed by Deity Shiva in His dream state’. This is due to the state of evolved Sages of complete Non-duality with God and the realisation that God is the doer of everything.

Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale recites the Shriramraksha stotra daily for His health, as advised by a Saint. Spiritual research was conducted to study the effect of reciting Shriramraksha stotra on Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr. Athavale. For comparison a study of a seeker reciting the Shriramraksha stotra was also done. For this research, the ‘Universal Aura Scanner (UAS)’ device and a pendulum were used. Universal Aura Scanner and a pendulum can measure positive and negative energy in objects, premises, and individuals.

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.

Note – For measuring the aura with the ‘UAS’ device, only a maximum of 30 metres of space was available at the study site. Therefore, a pendulum was used for accurate aura measurement.

1. Analysis of the observations

On the first day of the study (26.10.2024), Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale recited the Shriramraksha stotra in His room. On the second day (27.10.2024), a seeker chanted the Shriramraksha stotra in the Ashram’s meditation hall. UAS readings were taken for both, before and after chanting Shriramraksha stotra. The effect of reciting Shriramraksha stotra by a Saint and a seeker on the picture of Shriram, as well as on the Holy ash from the incense stick placed in front of it was studied. The same picture of Shriram was used on both days of the study. UAS readings were taken of the pictures of Shriram and pictures of Holy ash.

1 A. Positive effect of Shriramraksha stotra recitation on both Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale and a seeker
Before reciting the Shriramraksha stotra, the seeker had 4.7 metres of negative energy aura, but it was nullified after recitation. No negative energy was found in Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale and other components in the study. The positive energy readings of all components in the study are given below.

Components	Aura of Positive Energy in components (in Metre)
	Before recitation	After recitation
1. Recitation of Shriramraksha by seeker
A. Picture of Shriram	75	105
B. Holy ash	–	44
C. Seeker	5.4	15
2. Recitation of Shriramraksha by Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale
A. Picture of Shriram	30	463
B. Holy ash	–	394
C. Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale	20,550	40, 550

The following points were noted from the above readings.

1. When the seeker recited Shriramraksha stotra, the positive energy aura in the picture of Shriram increased by 30 metres. 44 metres of positive energy aura was found in the Holy ash from the incense stick lit there. After reciting Shriramraksha stotra, the positive energy aura in the seeker increased by 9.6 metres.

2. When Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale recited Shriramraksha stotra, the positive energy aura in the picture of Shriram increased by an extraordinary 433 metres. 394 metres of positive energy aura was found in the Holy ash there. After reciting Shriramraksha stotra, the positive energy aura in Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale increased by 20,000 metres, which is extraordinary.

2. Conclusion of the study

From this, it is understood that both Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale and the seeker received spiritual benefits after reciting Shriramraksha stotra; however, the extent was different. Also, even though both recited in front of the same picture, the amount of the Shriram Principle (Chaitanya) emitted from that picture was different.

3. Spiritual analysis of observations

3 A. Creation of a protective shield around the seeker after reciting Shriramraksha stotra : Shriramraksha stotra generates a specific energy (Chaitanya). This creates a protective shield around the one reciting the stotra. The seeker recited the stotra with spiritual emotion (bhav). Due to this, the Chaitanya in the picture of Shriram became active, and a protective shield was created around the seeker. As the seeker recited in the Ashram’s temple room, the Sattvik (spiritually pure) vibrations there also had a positive effect on him. This eliminated the negative energy in the seeker and increased his positive energy. The Chaitanya emitted from the picture of Shriram had a positive effect on the Holy ash. Due to this, a significant amount of positive energy was also found in the Holy ash. This highlights the importance of reciting with spiritual emotion.

3 B. When Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale recited Shriramraksha stotra, because of His yearning for the welfare of society the Deity Principle in the picture of Shriram became active : Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale is a Saint of the highest order striving for spiritual upliftment of society (samashti). Any action He performs is for the welfare of the entire creation. When He recited in front of the picture of Shriram, the positive energy aura in that picture increased extraordinarily from 30 metres to 463 metres. Due to His yearning for the welfare of society, the Deity Principle in the picture of Shriram awakened and became active for the benefit of society. When the seeker recited in front of the same picture on the second day, the Chaitanya in that picture became active only for that seeker. As a result, the positive energy in the picture increased from 70 metres to 105 metres. Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale imbibed the Shriram Principle (Chaitanya) according to His mission. This showed a significant increase in the positive energy within Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale. The active Chaitanya in the picture of Shriram had a positive effect on the Holy ash. Due to this, a significant amount of positive energy was found in the Holy ash. This demonstrates that every action of Saints striving for spiritual upliftment of society like Sachchidanand Parabrahman Dr. Athavale is for the welfare of the society.
