Questions and Answers
20 questions on Dowsing
For the coconut toss test, should the coconut be water-filled or dry?
Take a water-filled coconut for the toss; the coconut thrown in the demonstration was water-filled. A dry coconut is used instead when dowsing for ground water.
In hand scanning and the coconut toss, when should the breath be held and when released?
In hand scanning, hold the breath only while spreading the arms; then release it and bring the hands together slowly without holding it. While throwing the coconut, take a breath and let it go as you throw.
Can the coconut toss be done inside a house with a 10-foot roof?
No, do it in open ground. Thrown to a low height, the coconut naturally falls close by and shows nothing; it must go up at least 10 feet.
How should the coconut be held for the toss?
Always with the pointed end upward, just as a person walks with the head up. A coconut has three eyes, a head and a tail, and it is the only fruit in which all five elements are perfectly present.
Should the hand scanning, coconut, swastik and ghat methods be done in Surya swar?
Yes, all the methods taught here are to be done in Surya swar; the kesar swastik in particular is drawn in the earth (prithvi) tatva of Surya swar.
When dowsing, is the bone or water located where you stand, where your hand is, or where the coconut lands?
It is located where the pendulum turns clockwise or anticlockwise, at the spot under the hand, about an arm's length of one and a half to two feet from the body. It is not where a jumping coconut finally falls, but where the movement began.
Some dowse for water with a coconut, some with a stone or guava wood; which is right?
Any of them, because the dowser is the person; the tool is only a bridge, a medium in which the current produces movement. Some people dowse with bare hands, and some sway or tremble where water is. Only a person whose body reacts to the energy can check it; people who live in a negative place get used to it, like a worm content in a drain.
Trembling legs when looking down from a height, or a headache near negative people: are these weaknesses?
No, they are not weaknesses; they show the sensitivity of a dowser. Practise pendulum dowsing: ask your spouse or children to hide a coin and try to find it with the pendulum.
What can a person do who feels no vibration at all while dowsing?
Do nadi shodhan for six months; even then, not everyone becomes a dowser. At a training in 2021, dowsers from across the country, many carrying scanners and lecher antennas, could not find a single one of the bones hidden at five places. Practise with a coin hidden in the house or in someone's hand, and consider yourself a dowser only when the answers come out right about 2500 times.
How can a business be selected through dowsing?
Take the pendulum with all its precautions and ask, for example: should I open a general store? If yes, turn clockwise; if no, anticlockwise. If it turns clockwise, select that business. Do not ask the next question at once; dip the pendulum in salt water again first. It can also tell whether a running business will do well later.
Why do dowsing or energy scanning results come out perfect at some places and wrong at others, even when everything is done correctly?
The swar running at that moment decides it. Dowsing must be done in Surya swar, in its earth element; when it is done in the wrong swar the instrument does not move or gives wrong results.
In hand scanning, when should the hands be stopped: when tingling starts, or when the hands turn red and warm?
Stop where the hands stop on their own, when you feel some energy resisting them, a current connecting the two palms, a vibration trying to stop you. That distance is the aura of the land.
Can a rudraksha pendulum answer a spiritual question, such as whether someone can progress toward vairagya (renunciation)?
Rudraksha dowsing is very good for questions connected with spirituality. Rudraksha is bhavana vardhini and bhavana nashini: it strengthens or dissolves a feeling, and the pendulum finds its own way according to that feeling, so a sincere feeling progresses.
Something has been lost at home and cannot be found; can it be traced?
Ask the swar expert early in the morning, between 6 and 7 am, when the answer can be given; meanwhile keep searching yourself. Dowsing can also be used to find lost and hidden objects.
After a puja place built right next to a toilet in a relative house was corrected, I had blood in my stools for 8 to 10 days, and I still feel the same vibe when discussing it. What does such an energy impact indicate?
It indicates negative energy at that place. Dowsers and highly sensitive persons feel such energy much more strongly, and your body was able to sense it; talking about it connects you to it again. The teacher has had similar reactions at sites, once with his whole body going limp, red and sweating and with severe loose motions.
Can a universal scanner or a similar device trace hidden elements under the ground?
The teacher challenges anyone to trace a hidden element with one. In a training, bones that generate negative energy were buried and 60 to 65 practitioners from about 15 states, using Lecher antennas, universal scanners and pendulums, could not find them. The body is the best scanner, so use the hand scanner, dowsing and swar methods instead.
Why is Shikhi called the most sensitive devta, a maha-dowser?
Shikhi, the first devta and as important as Brahma, is so highly sensitive that anything done at its place gets an immediate reaction. Sensitive people become dowsers, but Shikhi is a maha-dowser. Among its many names it is called Shiva, and disturbing it is compared to Shiva's third eye opening, which shakes the universe.
After one bone has been dug out of a plot, how can we tell whether more shalya remains there, and how much more should be dug?
More bones remained in the case discussed. Bones are traced where the dowsing rod or pendulum turns anti-clockwise, or where the swar shifts into sushumna. Remove the soil over at least a 10 x 10 ft area around the spot, 5 ft from the centre in each direction, down to the depth where the bone lay plus another 1 to 1.5 ft, and throw it away. Then purify the land.
A consultant had 2.5 kg of yellow mustard kept under a bed in the South-West; a year later dowsing showed strong negativity and there were daily quarrels. Can yellow mustard create negativity?
Yellow mustard that was washed, energised and commanded cannot give negativity. Mustard simply bought from the market and placed without purification and command does not work, even a ton of it in a shop, and it may bring negativity from wherever it came. Incomplete knowledge is very dangerous.
Kaudi and coal also act as shalya. How are they detected, and is there a body sign as with bones?
They are found by dowsing. Any shalya produces a vibration (spandan) in the body of the person checking.
