Nirgrantha
self-imposed painful way of strictly regulated norm of a life of perfectly desirable conduct which could be fully conductive to the total elimination of all kaşayas. And, their references to different lesyas with different hues clearly seems to refer to the auras of the astral bodies of the concerned persons referred to by them. In the last few years, Yuvacārya Mahāprajña has described these researches in the fields of parapsychology through the garb of the Jaina terminology, which should be quite clear as a result of the related material presented in these pages.
