Water divining - It is real

The dowsing rod by itself does not have any power. It works with select few people. I am one such person who has been using the dowsing rod. This is used for water divining. I also use coconut for water divining.

The dowsing rod also has a very interesting use. With this I am in a position to identify the positive and negative energies at a place or of an object. I have also observed that the dowsing rod when placed before the photos of living persons and that of dead persons react differently. Further, when the photo of dead person is placed facing south, the dowsing rod indicates positive energy; while in all other directions, it shows negative energy. Similarly, photos of Indian gods and goddesses show positive energy, specially if placed facing east or west. Also, lamps used in pooja rooms show positive energy, if placed in east-west direction and negative energy if place in the north-south direction. Further, the writings in Devanagiri lipi(scripts)- Sanskrit, Hindi etc.show positive energy, whereas, the writings in English show negative energy. Same is true while speaking Sanskrit and English. Every individual has an aura of positive energy around him/her. The radius of this circle differ from individual to individual. This aura decreases when he/she talks in English and increases while chanting Sanskrit shlokas.

The word “Aum” in Sanskrit scripted on any surface shows positive energy. It also helps to reduce the negative energy at any place. Chanting of “Aum” too has a very positive impact on the positive energy level.

These have been demonstrated by me at various places. I can show this to any one.

So try showing it to the people at the James Randi Educational Foundation, where you can win a million dollars if you can actually do it.

These are interesting claims.
Who have you demonstrated them to?

As t-bonham@scc.net points out, as soon as you prove them, you can become a millionaire. :cool:

I myself can predict the future:

[spoiler]1. You won’t contact the Randi Foundation to pick up the million :confused:
2. Your reason will be one of the following:

  • my powers don’t work if anyone tests them
  • my powers don’t work for money
  • I don’t believe the Foundation has the money
  • I don’t want the money
  • it’s a lot of work filling in a form for the money
  • I am disgusted that you refuse to believe me

I do not agree to this. From my experience, dowsing has worked 100 % till now.

I do water divining with dowsing rod as well as COCONUT. Some people may claim that dowser can manipulate the rod. But how about the coconut? Normally you cannot place the coconut upright on your palm. It has to be placed flat. When you walk with the coconut on your palm and cross the underground stream of water, if any, the coconut just stands upright by itself. and falls back to original position once you cross over. What explanation can be given for this. I can demonstrate this, upload a video recording, if any body is interested.

I doubt it’s an unconscious fraud. Seems pretty conscious fraud.

Seeing is believing. You see it you will believe. It is no fraud.

Not to be blunt, but everyone up until now who has made the same claim as yours and has been tested in a scientific environment has been shown to fail. Not just some, every single one.

Now, it’s certainly possible that you are the exception to the rule. One should keep an open mind and design a test that allows you to prove your claim, and that’s on the way in another thread. But you’ll understand that we’re fairly skeptical that your alleged powers will disappear under the cold, clear light of examination. I don’t agree with others that this is conscious fraud, there’s no reason to believe that. There are plenty of ways that people can be unaware of what they are doing. I assume that is the case here until shown otherwise.

Pramanujan, why are you wasting time? No one here thinks your boasts are anything but idle self-deception at best, and a fraud at worst. Why not win the MDC, then we will all hang our heads and admit we were wrong to doubt you? Have you applied yet?

Put up or shut up, Dude!
