ORIGIN OF THE BOOK
With the blessings of His Holiness Reverend Acharya Shri vijay Suryodayasuriji Maharaja and divine blessings of His Holiness Reverend Shasan Samrat Acharya Shri vijay Nemisurishwarji Maharaja the Research Institute of Scientific Secrets from Indian Oriental Scriptures (RISSIOS) had published the book "Scientific Secrets of Jainism" (Gujarati Edition). The same institute organized an open book exam on the book during the year 2000 in Gujarat and Bombay.

As comparative and critical study of modern science and Jain philosophy is my favourite subject, I accepted his request and I studied 34th chapter of Jain Agama Sri Uttarādhyayana Sūtra and seventeenth chapter of Sri Pannavanā Sūtra, which deal with Lēśyās. And after studying colour therapy and gems therapy within a month I had written a detailed article on Aura, Lēśyās, Colour therapy and Gems therapy.
