Since I am a Jain Muni, there are many limitations regarding practical work. I have not tested these principles practically. I arrived at such conclusions on the basis of analysis of natural phenomena and social experiences. So it is necessary for the readers to notice that the research papers presented in this book are only theoretical.

I have possibly incorporated them here.
