(iii) Author has put up a strange hypothesis at page 55 that a soul pradesha or 'n' identical pradesha matches with location of every cell and emit Adhyavasayas locally for functioning of each cell. It postulates that different pradesha of soul function differently and dividedly for different purposes as different cells performs different functions. According to Jainism all pradeshas of the soul function together simultaneously in all its modes. In Jainism soul and matter are independent of each other and soul does not interfere in functioning of any other object least directing it.
(iv) At page 58 it is mentioned that every soul and object emits its aura in Kirlian photography which manifest its properties. The fact is that aura in Kirlian photograph is certainly not that of the object itself but an image created by the effect of high voltage electric field on photographic plate depending on moisture levels and not on modes or quality of the object as no such image is created if photography is done in vacuum.
(v) There is mention of cosmic consciousness which exists (predates also, page 61) in all organisms. It is another term for Vedic concept of one all mighty creator, doer and destroyer god. This concept is contrary to very fundamentals of Jainism which has vehemently rejected it. In Jainism each individual soul is separate entity independent of even any other soul least of so called cosmic consciousness or god. Under faith healing (pages 62, 63) it is mentioned that sender soul transmits thoughts and the target soul/s receives them if tuned to frequency of transmitted waves. There is no place for such occult concepts in Jainism. Sadly the author has relied on outside sources and not on Jain scriptures, thus deliberately distorting the fundamentals of Jainism.
