The cycle of Anamika’s meditation, the disruption by the dark forces, and the solutions – this continued for a while. At the Adhyatm Sadhna Kendra, trainers and eminent personalities continued to visit, and so it was that Samni Mallipragya ji also arrived at the Kendra. She had a deep interest in meditation and also used to train the practitioners and instructors at the Kendra. We hoped that her arrival would provide a solution to our problem.

During her evening meditation, again Anamika was troubled by the dark forces and Samni ji attempted to banish them by chanting the Mangal Paath, Navkaar mantra and other prayers. After some time, it began to appear as if Anamika was visualizing the divine soul. I informed Samni ji of Anamika’s previous communication with the divine soul. It was then that Samni ji and I decided to raise some questions to the divine soul via Anamika to find solutions to some of our doubts. Below I recount some of the questions we asked and the answers we received:

Question 1: Was Lord Mahavir married or unmarried?
Answer: He was unmarried. (In some Jain traditions, there is a belief that Lord Mahavir was married and even had a daughter.)

Question 2: Was Lord Mallinath (the sixteenth Teerthankara) a man or a woman? (In some Jain traditions, Lord Mallinath is believed to be a woman.)
Answer: Man.

Question 3: Then why is he considered a woman in some traditions?
The answer obtained was vague and unclear.

Question 4: Which is the best method for meditation?
Answer: Preksha Meditation.

Question 5: How can it be developed?
Answer: Acharya Mahashraman is working on it.

Question 6: How can one attain the state of Shukl Dhyaan (the superlative state of meditation in Jain tradition, which is virtually impossible in the present age)?
Answer: It is not possible in this era.

Question 7: Is it possible to attain the knowledge of the Fourteen Purvas (the superlative state of knowledge in Jain tradition, which is virtually impossible in the present age)?
Answer: It is not possible in this era.

Question 8: What is the present status of Late Acharya Tulsi and Acharya Mahapragya?
No answer was received.

This interrogation was perhaps carried out two or three times by me and Samni ji during Anamika’s meditation.

Here, it must be made clear that since Anamika was not from the Jain community and is therefore unfamiliar with the traditions of Jainism.  She did not have any prior knowledge of the terms used in the Jain tradition nor of the questions asked of her. She did not even remember the questions asked of her once she returned from her state of meditation. She was merely a medium, almost similar to a telephone.

There was still much more which Anamika’s journey was to lead us to experience.
