Aura : A Theoretical and Practical Research When ever a photograph is taken, the physical body is reflected, but at the same time aura of the person is also captured in the image, though invisibly. When aura of the photo is taken with Advanced Digital Aura Scanning Camera, aura becomes very clear in this image. It shows that aura is also made of atoms. Though it can't be seen with our physical eyes, its existence can't be denied any more. Probably, this aura can be Vital Body as per Jain Canonical belief.

However, word Bhāmandala is found but it is used only to describe bright circle that is found behind heads of Jain Tirtharkaras.
Image No. 13 - This image is of a cancer patient. This person was in the fourth stage of cancer. In this image, we can see clearly that only back colour is seen in the whole body and the aura surrounding the body. This person died after a few days of taking this image. A person suffers from a horrible disease like cancer only due to the inauspicious Karma of earlier birth. And inauspicious Karma means Krsna Lēśyā and as we had seen earlier in Kışņa Lēśyā there is nothing but black colour, which can be seen in the image. In an incurable disease like cancer, only Samādhibhāva - Samatā(Equanimity) can help. However, nobody in the world can, could or will be able to stop death. It is universal truth and we all have to accept it.
Image No.14 - This image is of the head of 3.5 to 4 year old girl. And this is a recent image. In the aura of this girl,
