A21:- Aqua-guard is able to remove “Trasa” (mobile) living-beings
from the water. Even algae etc may also be removed from it by filtration process. However, water-bodied living beings, which come out of the filter may not become completely non-living, as it happens while making Dhovana, i.e. by rubbing process. The rubbings between water bodies are neither so vigorous nor any extra foreign material is added. Here the body structure (Yoni) of water is not strained and the dissolved oxygen continues to remain in it and that too also in its radical form. As such, it should theoretically remain as “living-being” only. Normally, it makes only “mixed” type of water, i.e. a mixer of living and non-living water. Experiments with 'Aura' photography of boiled water, dhovana-water and filtered water
proved this logic and analysis to be correct. Q22:- Due to paucity of water supply, several buildings in big cities
mix ground water of bore well with water, supplied by municipality from rivers or lakes. This mixing should automatically make the mixed water non-living due to use of
Swakıyashastra. A 22:- As per Åchãrãng Sutra, mixing of two different types of water
should make the mixer non-living. However, one has to keep two points in mind: Thoroughness of mixing process is to be ensured properly. In absence of it, both these waters may exist side by side as livingwater in some small pockets, without attacking each other. For vratis it may not be suitable Secondly, we are not aware of the shelf-life of this non-living water. It is different from dhovana (parkãya-shashtra). As per science, it should depend on the contents (type and quantity) of minerals in the mixed water. Contents below 'threshold' limit may not be able to block all the window-openings of the netlike yoni-structure. Hence, it may remain as 'Mixed' type of water, which is not acceptable to vratis. Moreover, the 'oxygen' content to make it live, is not disturbed. All this is indicative of 'shorter' shelf life or life span of non-livingness.
