1. "Experiment on Water-Aura" by Jeoraj Jain The author has relied on Kirlian photography of Aura which is yet not recognised authentic scientifically. As a matter of fact the Aura is not at all any index of the property of any object. Aura is the result of high voltage electric field on the photograph of the object on the film. Once the photograph is taken the contact with the real object is shut. Aura appears in the photograph only if moisture is present and in absence of moisture and also in vacuum, it is not there. Obviously, the Aura is only the impact of high voltage electric field and has nothing to do with any property of the object under study, moreover the electromagnetic waves emanating from the object are so week in comparison to the high voltage field and cannot have any impact and the contact with the object is already shut when aura is photographed. It appears that the author is obsessed with the practice in Swetamber Sthanakvasi sect of taking 'Dhowen' water which contains remnants of food which is definitely the breeding nursery for germs and certainly cannot be better than the water from R.O, U.V, and filtered, in purity, free from all sorts of germs. It is his bias that he wants to prove superiority of 'Dhowen' water by pseudo scientific jargon which people generally do not understand. I challenge if he can get published such article in any international scientific journal. I request you to desist from publishing such articles in the prestigious journal, 'Arhat Vacana' without getting it evaluated by some reputed scientist.

2. "Adhunika Jiva Vijñāna se pare Jaina Jīva Vijñāna" by Prabhat Kumar Jain The learned author has tried to prove impact of karmic load from previous life or the Karmāņus on the functioning of genes. He has vainly dabbled in chemical structures of chemicals, the nucleotides. He has himself agreed that the functioning of genes is conditioned by ambient environment which is scientifically well established fact and there is nothing new. He has quoted the results of the experiments by the pioneer genetic scientist J. Craig Venter, creating the living cell in laboratory which only refutes any impact of Karmāņus and surprisingly the author has not mentioned about the structure of Karmāņus and how they act or interact in functioning of genes. The genes and their functioning have been very well researched and documented which satisfies the required scientific scrutiny. The functioning of physical body can all be explained by genetics and is 'terminus techniqu' and there is no need to stretch it further to Karmāņus. The vulnerability of the off-springs from the genetic traits of biological parents has nothing to do with the karmic load of the off-spring as it is the result of deeds of the parents only.
