EFFECT OF VIBRATIONSi ON WATERii. Synopsis (The full work is published in Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference “Moral. Health. Peace: East-West”, St. Petersburg, September 19-20, 1995, p. 119 (Novgorod: Print Center of “Economics” college, 1996)). With spreading of Sahaja Yoga it became well known that water can be vibrated by Shri Mataji, directly by Her personal impact or in the presence of Her photograph. Many people experienced medicinal properties of such water. Vibrated water doesn’t get spoiled when stored for a very long time, like several months. For estimate of the quality of water we used standard, world-wide accepted, sanitary chemical characteristics, which indirectly characterize the degree of water contamination. We performed several experiments with various sources of water. Water taken from the tap was placed near Shri Mataji’s photograph during a puja in Kiev. Obtained results (Table 1) show that the effect of vibrations has changed all the characteristics. Effect of purification comprised from 10% to 70%. It is remarkable that the most strong effect occurred for the limited characteristics exceeding the permissible allowance, such as the content of iron and ammonia, the water turbidity. Characteristics Initial water Vibrated water Permanganate oxidability, mg/l 6.3 5.9 Turbidity, mg/l 1.8 0.7 Chromaticity, deg. 60 47 Iron, mg/l 0.69 0.18 Ammonia, mg/l 0.9 0.6 Active reaction of medium, pH 7.45 7.55 Alkalinity, mg-ekv./l 2.4 2.3 In the next experiment, the water was vibrated by adding to it some water vibrated by Shri Mataji personally. 15 ml of vibrated water was added to 1.5 l of water taken from the tap. Obtained results are presented in table 2. As one can see from the data, Shri Mataji’s vibrations had an effect on all the characteristics studied. In this chase the change in the values is not large, but the initial values were within the norm accepted for drinking water. Characteristics Permanganate oxidability, mg/l Iron, mg/l Hardness, mg-eq/l Ammonia, mg/l Nitrides, mg/l Nitrates, mg/l Chlorides, mg/l Initial water 3.6 0.12 3.8 0.27 1.0 49.0 Vibrated water 3.4 0.10 3.4 0.09 0.9 46.9 Many Sahaja Yogis know the fact that the river Barbera in the town of Cabella in Italy was extremely polluted, the local people could not use it. Now there is even trout in this riveriii. We performed an analysis of the water from Barbera river, and also after adding to it some amount of water vibrated by Shri Mataji (5 ml in 500 ml). The results, presented in Table 3, clearly show that the quality of the water in the river in now much better than in many sources of purified drinking water. But even here Shri Mataji’s vibrations improve all the characteristics. Characteristics Permanganate oxidability, mg/l Iron, mg/l Vibrated water 1.46 0.08 Water from Barbera river 1.84 0.12 Hardness, mg-eq/l Ammonia, mg/l Nitrides, mg/l Nitrates, mg/l 2.8 0.015 8.5 2.9 0.018 10 Experimentalists are very grateful to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi for the invaluable information and the opportunity for this research. i Vibrations are manifestation of the all-pervading cosmic power a yogi is connected to after getting his self-realization (see main page). While vibration express the spiritual power, they also have material manifestations which can be studied by scientific methods. ii Synopsis.
