Dr. Pillai: Timeline Jumping

The Hindu Scriptures give a great deal of understanding of how the dopamine level and its excitation can help in the evolution and production of a higher, more positive, state of consciousness. That excites me and I am more interested in FMRI studies which I have been funding recently. It is to prove to the world that if you need to address the problem of suffering, the problem of understanding, you have to go to the brain. Change the brain and change your life. Through brain changing education you can create a new life for the world.

Sonja Benkovich: There has been talk from some of your students on how you can also transmit energy, which is called Darshan. What is Darshan? How does that transmission work and how does it help the receiver?

Dr. Pillai: Darshan is simply “sacred seeing”. If there is one person who is enlightened, he radiates energy that can affect the entire environment. For instance, my own first formal teacher in Washington DC performed a great experiment with the police department. A group of people sitting together can bring down the crime rate by 25%. The research was about 30 years ago.

There is a person who is enlightened and you get to be around him, or be in his presence, or look at his picture. There is a tremendous amount of energy that comes out that can change other people too. This is really what Darshan is: the silent transmission that comes out of an enlightened being. You can see the halo around Jesus Christ. That halo is the energy that comes out of this person, and that energy is very transformational.
