8. Jainistic And Scientific Analysis Of Extrasensory Perceptions Of Śri Ashok Kumar Dutt
Śri Ashok Kumar Dutt, who is a mechanical engineer in Bharat Heavy
Electricals Limited, Noida, (Ghaziabad), can see the human aura. Not only that but he also can know the kinds of thoughts of men on the basis of its colours. With extrasensory perception he is able to see the colours of sound.
When someone spoke, Śri Ashok Kumar saw a mass of variously glittering colourful particles. Besides, he saw various kinds of coloured particles emerging from living and nonliving objects. Also, he sometimes saw living objects absorbing coloured energy particles from the surrounding atmosphere. In his article "The Secrets of the Alphabet and the Incantation-sound" in the October-December, 1992 issue of 'The Farbus Quarterly, he has narrated some of his experiences about sound. I was very much delighted to read that article. His experiences are much in keeping with the Jain view of reality. We shall analyse them later on. Let us first get acquainted with the belief of modern scientists regarding sound.
Generally, scientists believe that both sound and light are in the form of waves. Of course, some phenomena of light and especially the phenomenon of photo-electric-effect, can be explained only. by accepting light in the form of particles. Scientists call these particles photons. They were first called "quanta" by Einstein and the science that deals with them, is called quantum mechanics.
Light is of two types: 1. Visible light and 2. Invisible light. Invisible light, i.e. the electromagnetic waves are also of two types (1) that which has less/ low frequency and greater wave-length than visible light which is known as infrared waves and (2) that which has greater/high frequency and small wavelength than visible light and which is known as ultraviolet rays.2
The classification of sound is similar to that of light. Generally, the human ear can hear sounds with a frequency varying from 20 to 20,000. Sound is of
