What is Dowsing ?

Dowsing is a process of energy reading. Science believes that objects and non objects are energy signatures of an underlying interacting processes . Simply put, everything visible or invisible around us is energy and this energy represents a continuous transformation that, the entity is undergoing. Everything in the universe is a reflection of the ceaseless flow of primal energy, creating subtle patterns that flow and interconnect with others forming a web we call creation.


Vedantic philosophy also gives a similar explanation, giving a dynamic property and an inherent quality of change and influence to even stationary objects.

I use a pendulum to detect the energy behind an event, a person or an object. The reading gives an indication of the energy influence, that person, object or event has and the likely interconnections it would form.

How does this reading help?

My earlier post “Esoteric Guides” has been well received with 400+ views. The post tried to convey the idea that all forms of external help fall short in solving our problems. People resort to Astrology, Vastu, Feng Shui, Crystal therapy etc. to find a way that brings to them towards success, wealth, health and other forms of happiness. Swami Vivekananda says that “ I am sure if you look back upon your lives you will find that you were always vainly trying to get help from others which never came. All the help that has come was from within yourselves. You only had the fruits of what you yourselves worked for, and yet you were strangely hoping all the time for help.”

Dowsing helps in connecting us to our environment harmoniously which is composed of other people or objects by giving us a electromagnetic reading of our self. Since everything is energy and energy flows ( just like water) from a higher consciousness , the readings in dowsing (only if the questions are carefully solicited) tell us three things about the energy in play at that time , the point of origin ,the direction in which the flow is and its area of influence. This information interprets the lessons our experience conveys and allows us to go ahead by bringing a closure.

I shall explain through an example. A few years back, a young girl came to me, as she wanted a solution to her father’s physical and monetary health, both of which had suffered a drastic and sudden downfall. Her father had a paralytic stroke and the factory that he had started was inactive since the past 18 months. Since a dowser is a vastu, fengshui and geomancy expert, she thought that either the house or the factory had some defects. A lot of women staffers were detected with breast cancer in the ABC newsroom in Brisbane in December 2006 , when they were forced to relocate their premises. Here is the link to that story.

A dowser judges if there are any energy lines crossing under the building that could bring obnoxious energies in to the house or factory. In Germany these lines are thought to be cancer producing and they are called “ Read more about it herehttp://www.dowsing4geopathicstress.co.uk/index.php/geopathic -stress/geopathic-stress-and-cancer

Coming back to the story, I dowsed on her fathers photograph, her factory and house photographs which gave a reading, “all clear” with respect to energy lines. Then proceeding further on her fathers photograph I made a dowsing chart which could indicate the origin of the energy, the flow and the area of influence. Since I knew the area of influence, it was the health and business, finding the other two variables was easy. To cut a long story short, the point of origin was in the “dues” which the father had managed not to pay. As a dowser, I keep insisting that people should pay extra attention towards “debt “and “dues”. Most of my posts revolve around these two neglected duties of man. In fact one of the reasons of our birth is due to the debt from past lives and the unpaid dues that we carry forward in this life. I asked her if there were any unpaid dues? The girl was now teary eyed and said that banks were ready to reposes the house and some debt was taken to meet the medical bills and household expenses through the difficult times. I explained her that the dues were prior to the fall of fortune and she should look back and find out if some due was unpaid, since the consequence her family was going through was a result of a deliberate choice made in this lifetime. , I did have fair intuition “what that debt was”, but I refused to trouble her more and without taking any charges gave her a small booklet of Swami Vivekanandas “ His call to the Nation”. At the door I casually remarked that these “debt” energies gain momentum over time and inflict greater pain even to the extent of taking all comforts away.

This story only shows how a dowser works which is not by suggesting remedies externally like space clearing, gems and stones but by going directly to the point of origin or the cause. This story does not end here since that girl came back to me after 3 years with a box of chocolates. Her face told me that she had come to give good news. She informed me that her father had died after 7 months of her visit to meet me, her house at tardeo was disposed by the bank last year and she and her mother were now staying at Kandivali a far flung suburb from tardeo which was up market . Her only solace was the discussion she had with her father about what I had told her that day. I waited patiently to know the reason why her face radiated peace, since up to know whatever she had said was not very pleasant.

She said her father had confessed that the dues I was talking about were the “taxes “he had saved on importing the machinery by under declaring the value. The amount He had managed to save was 11 odd lacs. She said that her father told her that had he realised this money would make him and his family suffer he would have gladly paid since at the time of importing the machines he had a huge cash surplus. Nature never forgets and always comes back with a vengeance to balance things, I told her. She did not believe that it was her father’s unpaid dues that had borne this harsh consequence but it was pre-ordained, since many of her father’s friends were still enjoying wealth and had resorted to such similar dubious activities some,even on a much higher scale.

I told her that her father cleared his account in this life; many of us like to carry them forward in our next life and make it difficult for the dowser to know the cause of the consequence. Every choice that we make carries within it the seed of the consequence. It is our duty to choose wisely.

Dowsing is also useful in making a choice based on the energy of the options.

Another way of making a wise choice is to choose the option, which is the most unselfish.



The miseries of the world cannot be cured by physical help only. Until man's nature changes, these physical needs will always arise, and miseries will always be felt, and no amount of physical help will cure them completely. The only solution of this problem is to make mankind pure. Ignorance is the mother of all the evil and all the misery we see. Let men have light, let them be pure and spiritually strong and educated, then alone will misery cease in the world, not before. We may convert every house in the country into a charity asylum, we may fill the land with hospitals, but the misery of man will still continue to exist until man's character changes...
