Dham Sarkar – A Scientific Perspective
This is neither a religious
nor a political commentary but just an academic endeavor to inform the public
about Bageshwar Dham Sarkar.
Chapter 4: Is Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri A Mystic?
What does modern science tell about such phenomena?
As
has been discussed
earlier modern science studies natural phenomena in bits and
pieces. As tools and methods progress, new understanding and information keep coming
in. This chapter focuses on what modern parapsychology
says about the accomplishments of Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri.
Automatic Writing
Usually,
automatic writing is done by a professional medium, who can connect with the
departed ones. People come to them for closure, especially in contacting the
loved ones who are dead. Some of them may go into a trance and are not aware of
what is happening around them. In most cases, the writings are done in a script
unknown to the medium.
However,
automatic writing can also be done even when the individual is conscious of their
surroundings. The communication need not have to be with the dead but also with
an entity or deity.
Shri
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri claims to have obtained the information from Hanuman but is
very well aware of what he writes about a person whom he has identified. If the
person wants to ask three questions, then Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri
will write down the three questions before the person asks. And without
exception, always Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri is right.
Sometimes
he writes about a person who has not yet been identified, too. After he writes
in detail about, let’s say, five people, he numbers those five sheets of paper.
Then he asks a journalist or a group of journalists to bring anyone from the
crowd of lakhs (hundred thousand) of people.
Then
he asks the journalists to identify any one of the five people and any one of
the five sheets. In all cases, the problems listed by the individual will be
the same as what is written on the sheet of paper.
As
far as I know, this is something that is not there in the parapsychology
literature. Automatic writing has been studied since 1882 (by the Society for
Psychical Research) but no writing has been as accurate as this one.
Hence,
this needs to be studied separately.
Please
watch the video located on top, (if you have not already done so) to know more
about how Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri performs this feat.
Clairvoyance
Clairvoyance is knowledge of objects, individuals, or events without the mediation of
sensory channels. It is one aspect of Extrasensory Perception (ESP) that has
been studied extensively in experimental laboratories.
Shri
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri uses clairvoyance extensively in the following ways.
When
several thousand people apply every day, only a few get the chance to be called
onto the stage for a personal tet-e-a-tete.
Shri
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri knows whether they have applied or not.
He
points out if they have written down the questions and hiding them.
Shri
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri calls them either by name or by the dress they are
wearing. Sometimes he calls someone having a relative with a particular name.
Once he called out the uncle’s name of a journalist!
The
amount of details he reveals about the person is astounding! Once he said to a
man that he is keeping a photo of a Godman that he should discard so that he
gets the full benefit of the divya darbar. The man kept refuting saying that he
had no such picture but Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri tells him exactly where
it is in his house.
Scrying
One
application of clairvoyance used by mystics is paranormal Psychometry. Here, a
person’s identity and details are revealed by touching an object, clothing,
etc., belonging to that person. Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri doesn’t use this
as he never asks for anything to touch.
However,
what he uses is another application of clairvoyance called Scrying. Here, an
object is used through which the seer receives messages. Unlike others who use
a crystal ball or a mirror, Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri uses a small mace,
which he waves above his head. He doesn’t use this all the time but now and
then. He calls it his wi-fi through which he receives information from Hanuman.
Psychic Diagnosis
Shri
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri is very adept at paranormal psychic diagnosis. He can
tell where exactly in the body the ailment is and he is always accurate in his
diagnosis. He will also say how long the person had a problem, what the doctors
diagnosed, what all the person has done to overcome the problem, etc.
He
is not medically qualified but identifies the problem. For example, he is as
specific in medical diagnosis as to inform that the person is afflicted in the
spine L3S1. This information is not available to everyone except specialist
doctors. The person need not be in the presence of Shri Dhirendra Krishna
Shastri. Sometimes he says a relative of a person is afflicted with the
problem. People who cannot afford modern medical tests can benefit from such a diagnosis.
In
most cases, Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri points out exactly the cause of the
problem like infection, accident, congenital, influence of black magic, who has
done the black magic, etc.
As
was pointed out earlier, Shri
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri is not an exception but exceptional. There are such
cases of psychic diagnosis from all over the world. Edgar Cayce of the USA was
able to diagnose after getting into a trance. Several books on paranormal
phenomena are available explaining how it works. Some mystics have been
investigated by medical specialists and found reliable. The following video
shows how psychic diagnosis was done by looking at the photographs of patients
unknown to the seer.
Telepathy
Telepathy is a transference of thought from one person to another without the mediation
of sensory channels or physical energy.
Similar
to clairvoyance, thousands of laboratory investigations have been done to find
out the veracity of telepathic communication. Tests have been conducted with cards,
drawings, emotions, images, kinetic impulses, sensations, numbers, etc., and
there is ample evidence to substantiate the occurrence of telepathy.
Shri
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri is quite adept at this where he not only knows what
the person is thinking at present but also what the person thought in the past.
It could be an immediate past or a distant past.
The
so-called mentalism or mind reading imitates this phenomenon and creates an
illusion that the magician can read the mind. However, as pointed out earlier,
it is just trickery.
For
telepathic communication to be complete there has to be a sender and a
receiver. However, the devotees can hardly know how to send the information. In
addition, Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri is not mind reading because he doesn’t
ask people to remember one or two things. He asks the devotees to narrate the
questions they have in mind and irrespective of how many questions they ask, he
shows what is already written down by him. In most cases, people tell him they
have nothing more to ask except a single question. However, Shri Dhirendra
Krishna Shastri points out they have at least three questions and narrates
them. The devotees later confirm the questions.
Precognition
Precognition is another aspect of Extrasensory Perception where there is knowledge of an event
before it happens. There is no time limit for such a prediction. It can be
days, months, years, decades, or even centuries. Many people like Jeane Dixon
of the USA, Wolf Messing
of the USSR, Nostradamus of France, and Vanga Dimitrova of Bulgaria
are famous all over the world for their insight into the future.
In
India, too, there are plenty of people who claim to prophesize. It does not
mean that all of them are reliable. However, just because some of them are not
honest, doesn’t mean that all others should be put in the same bracket.
Shri
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri gives predictions about when the person will get rid
of the problem, what one should do to overcome the suffering, and what one
should be careful about to avoid future difficulties.
He
is also able to carry on with divination where for instance, he
tells a woman where to find her missing husband.
Remote Viewing
Of
all the scientific studies conducted in the field of parapsychology, the one
that comes closest to what Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri does is known as
Remote Viewing. This is an offshoot of what was referred to as General Extrasensory Perception (GESP) in the earlier research that contained all three aspects of
ESP – Clairvoyance, Telepathy, and Precognition.
The
greatest example of remote viewing comes from Mahabharatha, where Sanjaya acts
as a seer for Drutharastra. Sanjaya not only describes the situation at hand
happening elsewhere, but also narrates details of thoughts, feelings, and
perceptions of the person/s he is referring to. He can look into the past,
present, and future as if they are all the same. Even the whole of Bhagavadgita
is a dialogue between Sanjaya and Drutharastra.
All
these capabilities are very well described in Mahabharatha and until modern
researchers started working on remote viewing, parapsychologists could not
explain Sanjaya’s divine vision. They thought that it was part of the superstition.
Watch
the video below to learn more about remote viewing.
When
the rest of the world is trying to understand remote viewing, we have with us
many seers who can do it so effortlessly. The one who excels in this art is Shri
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri.
Psychic Healing
One
great criticism against Bageshwar Dham is that people are so superstitious that
instead of going to a doctor, they come here for treatment. In almost all cases
those who come here would have spent a lot of money, time, and resources going
to hospitals, taking medicine, following prescriptions, and undergoing surgery.
They say that no improvement was there despite their effort and they have come
here as a last resort.
If
hospitals were successful, then why are there millions of people waiting to be
heard?
Shri
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri can help patients overcome severe problems on the
spot. One such example is a disjointed spine. As said earlier, he can not only
identify the problem specifically as L3S1 but also offer treatment within
seconds. The patient has been suffering from the problem for three years, and
doctors had recommended surgery. Watch the video below to see how the patient
removes the bandage and can walk without pain.
Some
people may claim that this is stage-managed. Now, it is their onus to prove so.
If they want to test Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, then they should bring someone
afflicted with a chronic problem that is pre-diagnosed by medical staff, and
subject them to psychic healing. Even if there is a slight improvement on the
same day, it is better than what the hospitals are doing after demanding so
much money.
Psychic
healing is also identified as faith healing. Here, the supposition is that it
works only on those who have faith and it acts as a placebo. However, psychic
healing affects everyone irrespective of the belief. If a placebo were to cure
such severe diseases, then at least hospitalization would have been effective,
too.
Psychic
healing is practiced all over the world. In India, we have plenty of people who
are proficient in it. Of course, some fake practitioners are misleading the
public. The WIPs (Well-informed Ignorant Persons) should join hands with
magicians and parapsychologists in checking the veracity of the claims. Only
then this healing will have gained its importance in Sanatana Dharma.
In
summary, old populations relied on spiritual lifestyles to survive. They had to
deal with nature and its harsh realities. Hence, they used several ways to gain
knowledge, out of which the following are used by Shri Dhirendra Krishna
Shastri to identify problems: automatic writing, clairvoyance, scrying, psychic
diagnosis, telepathy, precognition, and remote viewing. He also uses psychic
healing to help people alleviate their problems. Modern parapsychological
research has scientifically established that all these phenomena are verifiable
and reliable. Hence, Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri is not a doctor, but a mystic who uses intuition.
