Reproduced below are some of the questions asked by patients in a terminal care unit. Most of them were suffering from an advanced stage of cancer. We take them as typical when human beings are faced with the prospect of a disease that is seriously debilitating and from which the prospect of recovery is poor. Many of them concern existential issues; others are related to our belief-systems that are being challenged through the crisis, a crisis of faith as it were. Some are connected to the illness itself.

Photobionics is the science which explores the practical applicability of the spiritual truth that all creation is the condensation of cosmic light of varying frequencies. A few chemicals were intuitively identified to be the triggering ingredients of certain biological processes of plants (and all other living beings). When these chemicals were sprayed over plants in micro-dilutions, there remained no necessity for using chemical manures or pesticides. The series of trials that were undertaken and the results that varied according to season, soil and other conditions are given here below.

Photobionics is a science which explores practical implications of the spiritual truth that all creation is the condensation of cosmic light which operates through nature in various rhythms. The possibility of extending the knowledge of kuṇḍalinī and cakras to all living and non-living things, therefore, also becomes its field of exploration.

The New Age market is flooded with gadgets, techniques and processes for better health, each claiming its own space in the human mind and its own share in the race for consumerism. Such movements are aided by a growing dissatisfaction with current medical practice, which is an offshoot of a material and mechanistic view of life. Somehow, humanity is not able to accept this view whole-heartedly despite its ‘spectacular success’ and ‘statistical proofs’. Something in man intuitively feels that he is not matter and chemistry alone. And as this ‘something’ grows stronger he searches for other paradigms, explores other states of consciousness independent of his body and even of his mind. This pull towards a greater, unexplored unknown is the other cause of man’s search for the new, his interest in the unexplained, his fascination for the new and the unknown.

The article was written at the request of the Director of a hospice care where the terminally ill are lodged. He wanted something that could help them in their hour of distress while they were facing death. This text was written entirely with such patients in mind. Rather than quoting facts and figures or expounding a scripture, the author felt that they needed something that inspired hope and confidence as they stood face to face with the 'inevitable'. The author realised that they needed something that could not only convince their mind but also, and even more importantly, touch their soul.
