________________ The Science of Colours The magic of colours weaves a significant role in human life and culture. From the pages of history, we see how specific colours have an influence on specific places, times, and groups. For instance, the communist parties of Russia accepted red as the symbol of revolution, while India and China use red as the symbol of celebration. The Vedic seers symbolized their goddess of knowledge, Saraswati, as dressed in pristine white, while Lakshmi is depicted in red colour. In the Jaina tradition, we employ five colours for spiritual practice or sadhana. The five colours represent the five supreme beings, also known as Panch Parameshthi. Meditating on these five colours will nullify the effects of sinful deeds and bestow auspiciousness. At the core of this belief lies the science of colours, and how they can have a positive or negative impact on our life. 62
