The Sun Rises in the West

In December 1986 Param Pujya Gurudev Dr. Narayan Dutta Shrimali was invited for addressing gatherings in six places in America on “ Sun Principle and transformation of matter”. This article was written by Mr. Brevian, a famous American journalist and one of the hardest critics of India that time covering the final session of Guruji’s programme in Washington capital of the United States.

Despite the cold temperature in the month of December in America causing cold response in public gathering either political or art and dance exhibition, the news of an Indian presenting practical program on “Sun Principles” in five prominent cities of USA was verbally spreading amongst enthusiasts. It was noted that the said Indian was not after any financial gain nor had desire for fame. It was his just intention as an Vedic knower to demonstrate and introduce the art of the ancient Vedic science called Surya Vigyan or ”Sun Principal’’ for the first time in history to the Western public.

The purpose was really clear that in the modern scientific era of the 20th century, he wanted to proof that by means of tapping solar energy it would actually be possible to convert and transform one matter to another. In another words, according to him without using any form of hypnotism or magic, you can actually convert a simple piece of cotton in to a piece of hard rock.

Impossible!! Utterly Impossible!

If it were mere possible the whole world would dash into a devastating of a chaotic revolution, as people will be converting iron into gold and could in this way gain simply anything. If it would be mere possible it would actual be without doubt one of the most phenomenal scientific achievements of the current century.However in this matter it was my assigned task to be critical in the utmost matter.

After careful consideration I formed a committee of eighteen professionals whom were selected secretively. Among The eighteen professionals were including Atomic scientist, Scientist, Physician, Doctor, Meteorologist, Intelligence agent, psychologist, Investigating journalist, solar scientist, Astro-scholar, Environmentalist and Electrical energy specialist. (all names omitted to avoid inaccuracy.

The professionals I selected were simply the best experts in their fields of work and I forbid them the following things before the show started:

1. Not to utter any word to the challenger while he is performing

2. Not to show any sign of appreciation.

3. Being utmost critical at all times

4. Not to communicate with each other when challenger is performing.

5. And finally of course be at all times - observing.

The venue of the program was set at Jefferson Hall at 3 a clock, for one hour period.The venue had seating capacity of one thousand the same number of passes/tickets were distributed. But there was a gathering of more than 10 housand people for the reasons that it was Mr. Shrimali’s last broadcast out of six earlier publicized demonstrations.

Mr. Shrimali was sitting on stage and was explaining in fluently English,that the sun is the central form of seven different types of rays which can actually create all types of matters. All matters are basically made of atoms.If desired, atoms can be created as destroyed or even modified.The modification is actually linked to the transformation of one matter into another.The transformation can be permanent. (Conclusions quote:) 

This knowledge known as Surya Vigyan (Indian name) can bring revolutionary changes in the medical field. As by example

* Person with weak memory can become more intelligent with the aid of this solar technology applied to certain parts of brain.

* Unnecessary growth in the body can be destroyed or terminated.

* Kidney stones can be dissolved or discharged with urine,.

As indicated, there was total silence in the hall, no clapping nor verbal appreciation no special expression on the faces.

Matter Transformation

I had collected a cubicle piece of wood and a rose flower ready. Washed and cleaned for free of chemical or visible contamination. I have requested Mr. Moore to make sure the challenger does hypnotize the audience. On top we had applied Basil waves in the hall so that hypnotism can be easily deactivated. The program was to be televised live so that people outside the hall could also observe the performance.

WE have requested Mr. Shrimali to take off the shirt and garment above waste and his dhoti will be checked with special equipment so that nothing will be attached or applied to the dhoti. He will require to wash his thoroughly before the performance and he was not supposed to move his hands below the waist or touch the dhoti. I have also mentioned to Mr. Shrimali that he will not be disclosed what material will he be given for matter transformation. He will also not be told what matter he has to transform into. He was only to be told when he is ready to perform.

On my request the Environment specialist washed Mr. Shrimali’s hands thoroughly and dried to make sure that the hands are free of any chemical agent(s).

Before that we have made Mr. Shrimali to take off his Kurta( Indian shirt) and Banyan, which have removed from the stage.Mr. Shrimali stood up at the middle of the stage. Raised his hands above his head that he was all clear and said: you can see my hands and you can see they are all empty.

(His bare torso was very attractive)

I took the piece of wood and handed it over to him and requested him to transform it into gold. After that I went off the stage and took my seat.

Mr. Shrimali raised his hands holding the piece of wood in the air and made a steady look to it.

He started to twist the wood in a special manner with fingers and we all were focusing on the piece of wood. One minutes passed, two minutes passed, and on the fourth or the fifth minute, we saw the white piece of wood turning its color into golden yellow.

I used my binocular focussed to the piece of wood and heard him say : here is the piece of gold, as you desired !!!.

Afterwards, I had Mr. Brown take a look at the gold and hold it separately for a while. Then I got up and handed over the fresh rose flower to Mr. Shrimali and asked him to transform it to iron. Now Mr. Shrimali repeats the same action as before he did with the piece of wood and in two to three minutes time the tender rose transformed into solid iron.

Then Mr. Harwin got up to the stage and went to take a look at the iron rose. The scientists also went to the stage to investigate the two transformed items. And after five minutes time they declared that he had indeed succeeded in the challenge and transformed both the items into the wanted materials.

The whole hall exploded into an appreciation and applause. The tensed faces of the eighteen members relaxed and each of them went and congratulate Mr. Shrimali. Mr. Shrimali then expresses then his thanks to all presence there. His voice was full off confidence polite and soft spookiness. Mr. Grown handed over the city key for Washington DC to Mr. Shrimali as an honor. Indeed Mr. Shrimali was the first Indian citizen whom got hold off the city key of Washington. I thought “the Sun indeed has risen in the west”.

Bitter Truth with Blessed Effects

I remember an occasion when I was traveling with my master. The station master in a town we were passing through came to me and said, “Sir, give me something to practice, and I promise I will follow it faithfully.” 

My master said to me, “Give him something definite to practice.” 

I said, “Why should one fool misguide another? It will be better if you instruct him.” 

So my master said, “From this day on, don’t lie. Practice this rule faithfully for the next three months.” 

Most of the employees of the railroad in that area were dishonest and took bribes. But this man decided that he would not take bribes or lie any more. 

That very same week a supervisor from the head office came to investigate him and his assistants. The  stationmaster answered the probing questions of the supervisor honestly. This inquiry brought serious trouble to his staff. All the employees who had been taking bribes, including the stationmaster himself, were 25 prosecuted. He thought, “It has been only thirteen days, and look at the difficulty I am in. What is going to happen to me in three months’ time?”

Soon his wife and children left him. Within a month his life had crumbled like a house of cards from a single touch. 

That day the stationmaster was in great agony, and we were some three hundred miles away on a bank of the Narmada River. My master was lying under a tree when he suddenly began laughing. He said, “Do you know what is happening? That man whom I instructed not to lie is in jail today.” 

I asked, “Then why are you laughing?” He answered, “I am not laughing at him, I am laughing at the foolish world!” 

Twelve people in that man’s office had gotten together and said he was a liar, although he had been speaking the truth. They accused him of being the only one guilty of taking bribes. He was put in jail and all the others were released. 

When the stationmaster went to court the judge looked down at him from the bench and asked, “Where is your attorney?” 

“I don’t need one.” 

The judge said, “But I want someone to help you.” 

“No,” said the stationmaster, “I don’t need an attorney; I want to speak the truth. No matter how many years you put me behind bars, I won’t lie. I used to share in bribes. Then I met a sage who told me never to lie, no matter what. My wife and children have left me, I have lost my job, I have no money or friends, and I am in jail. All these things have happened in one month. I have to examine truth for two more months no matter what happens. Sir, put me behind bars; I don’t care.” 

The judge called a recess and quietly called the man to his chamber. He asked, “Who is the sage who told you this?” The man described him. Fortunately the judge was a disciple of my master. He acquitted the stationmaster and said, “You are on the right path. Stick to it. I wish I could do the same.”

After three months that man did not have anything. On the exact day that the three months were up he was sitting quietly under a tree when he received a telegram saying, “Your father had a huge plot of land that was taken long ago by the government. The government now wants to give you compensation.” They gave him one million rupees. He had not known about the land, which was in a different province. 

He thought, “Today, I have completed three months of not lying and I have been rewarded so much.” He gave the compensation to his wife and children, and they happily said, “We want to come back to you.” 

“No,” he said. “Until now I have only seen what happens by not lying for three months. Now I want to find out what will happen if I do not lie for the rest of my life.” 

Truth is the ultimate goal of human life, and if it is practiced with mind, speech and action, the goal can be reached. Truth can be attained by practicing non-lying and by not doing those actions which are against one’s own conscience. Conscience is the best of guides.

If we all really want to start practicing truth ...

1. Stop taking bribes.
2. Stop producing fake travel/medical/any other bills either for tax exemption or for any other purpose. There is no end what we can save money, being content in whatever we have is the key to success in spiritual life also.
