INTRODUCTION
This book contains some of the articles written by the author from time to time on various sub-titles relating to non-living and living-water. Some of them appeared serially on a particular theme. These articles are not like chapters of a book, but are largely independent of each other. The sequence or order has been selected to establish only a virtual connection with each other, e.g. the theme of Research can be arranged at some other place, without seriously affecting the continuity of the other sub-themes. However, it was thought prudent to place the articles pertaining to livingness of water, as understood by Jains and modern science, in the first place. Subsequent Research articles have been grouped together and placed at one place.
The research work has been presented in English language, in order to get International Community interested in the subject for taking up advance research projects. Other articles, pertaining to traditional JainScience of water, have been presented both in Hindi as well as in English Language. The idea is to enhance the understanding of normal laity, who is not well versed in technical/scientific words. It is expected that both the communities, residing in South as well as in North India, would not find the language as barrier to understand various aspects of Water. It should also help them clear their doubts, if any, on practical aspects of non-living water (boiled or dhovana) and its usage in the routine life. This should enable them to reinforce their trust in Jain-Science. The objective of the book would be fulfilled,
i) if it arouses the interest of the Readers to know further or to
promote further research on science of water, ii) if the Science community gives a serious thought on the new
set of ideas and the revolutionary Hypothesis of LivingWater, it would enable them to undertake further advanced research on different phenomenon at micro level of living
water, iii) if it helps to inculcate the right spirit and habit in the Layman
to avoid wasteful practices and save water for sustainable
growth and iv) if it helps Homeopaths to understand and develop the
“THEORY OF HOMEOPATHY” on sound footings, in the light of the Hypothesis of Living-Water, as propounded in the chapter on Characterization.
