Dear readers, please refer to the following articles that provide more background with regard to the Divine changes observed in H.H. Dr. Athavale.

• Changes in the colour of nails due to Divine reasons (Article coming soon)

1. An introduction to yellow nails due to Divine reasons

In the year 2011, the nails of H.H. Dr. Athavale started to turn a deep yellow. As there was no medical reason for the change in colour, we turned to spiritual research to find out the reason for such a change. In the past too there have been many changes in H.H. Dr. Athavale’s body which we were unable to explain by modern science. For example, His body and the things He touched would emanate various fragrances such as sandalwood and other fragrances that had no earthly comparison.

In this article we will be sharing with you the various aspects of yellow fingernails and toenails occurring due to Divine changes in a spiritually evolved person’s body. We will also explain the spiritual significance of fingernails changing colour to yellow with regard to H.H. Dr. Athavale. In order to more clearly document the phenomenon H.H. Dr. Athavale allowed His nails to grow long.

2. Causes of nails turning yellow due to Divine reasons

At a physical level, the causes behind fingernails turning yellow are varied and include fungal infections, lung disease or severe thyroid disease. However when it is due to spiritual reasons, it is just the opposite and is positive in nature.

2.1 Due to His Divine mission

In every era and sub-era, God incarnates to re-establish Dharma or Righteousness on Earth. Depending on the mission of the Incarnation of God, the colours seen on their physical body can vary. As H.H. Dr. Athavale is a Parātpar Guru (a Guru beyond the 90% spiritual level) He is also a fractional Incarnation of God. His mission is associated with Divine Knowledge. Yellow is the colour of the highest source of Knowledge in the Universe. As He has become one with the Divine Knowledge, His physical body including His fingernails have started to gain a yellowish hue.

Over 200 books on Spirituality have been published by H.H. Dr. Athavale on various aspects of Spirituality. The Divine Knowledge received by seekers under His guidance, the subtle-experiments and the knowledge received from the subtle-analysis are unique. In the majority of the books compiled by Him, over 70% of the content is Divine Knowledge being published for the first time.

2.2 Manifestation of energy required to protect seekers

As the adverse times mentioned in our article on World War 3 Predictions become imminent, one aspect of the Incarnate mission of H.H. Dr. Athavale is the protection of seekers. The yellow colour on the extremities such as on the fingernails is a sign of the Divine consciousness (Chaitanya) manifesting and activating through His body. Due to this Divine consciousness, seekers are protected from the attacks of higher level negative energies and therefore are able to stay alive during the adverse times and continue their spiritual practice. Without the protection of God through higher level Saints such as H.H. Dr. Athavale, thousands of seekers would fall prey to higher level negative energies and would not have been able to do spiritual practice in these adverse times.

2.3 Due to the nature of the Kundalini in the spiritually evolved

Refer to – What is Kundalini?

According to the spiritual Path of Kunḍalinī, the Divine consciousness required for the functioning of a human being is known as chētanā. The active part of chetana is known as vital energy (prāṇa–shakti)and the non-active part is known as Kundalini. Kundalini is used primarily for spiritual growth. The Kundalini system consists of 3 main subtle-channels and six subtle energy centres known as chakrās. As a result of regular spiritual practice, when the Kundalini is activated, the activated Divine consciousness flows upwards. It flows from the lowest of all the chakras, the Mūlādhār-chakra, through the Central channel (Sushumnānāḍī) all the way up to the Brahmarandhra, a subtle-opening situated at the crown of the head.

In the case of highly spiritually evolved people, the Kundalini rises past the Brahmarandhra into the Universe thus purifying the environment in the upwards direction. After this it flows back through the Brahmarandhra, down through the Central channel to the Muladhar–chakra. This downward flowing Divine consciousness is emitted through the nails into the environment. This Divine consciousness begins to purify the Earth and lower-subtle planes of the universe. In this process the nails become yellow as the colour of Divine consciousness is yellow.

3. Some spiritual concepts

Here are two spiritual concepts to better understand the aspects of the following slideshow of yellow fingernails and toenails.

3.1 Left and right channels of the Kundalinī

In the Kundalini system there are 3 main channels:

• Sushumnanadi, that is, the Central channel that extends from base of spine to the top of the head,
• The Sun channel (Pingalānāḍī) that runs to the right of the Central channel, and the
• The Moon channel (Iḍānāḍī) that runs to the left of the Central channel.

Due the nature of the Moon channel, subtle-energy associated with the saviour (tārak) Principle of God and unmanifest (nirguṇ) Divine consciousness is better able to flow through it. The Sun channel on the other hand is associated with the destroyer (mārak) Principle of God and works more at the manifest (saguṇ) level. Through the destroyer Principle, God protects devotees from negative energies and through the saviour principle He helps seekers to grow spiritually.

Therefore to summarise, more unmanifest energy flows through H.H. Dr. Athavale’s left hand and more manifest energy flows through His right hand.

3.2 Fingers and their association with the 5 Absolute Cosmic Elements

Each of our fingers is associated with a particular Absolute Cosmic Principle (tattva). The diagram below shows the relationship between each finger and the Absolute Cosmic Principle.

When Divine consciousness flows out of a spiritually evolved person’s hand, the energy from each finger will differ as it is modified by the predominant Absolute Cosmic Element in that finger. Accordingly as the little finger is associated with the Absolute Earth Element (Pruthvītattva), it also has the most amount of manifest Divine Consciousness coming out of it. The thumb is associated with the Absolute Ether Element (Ākāshtattva) and hence has the most unmanifest Divine Consciousness emanating out of it.

4. Various aspects of nails changing colour to yellow due to Divine reasons

In this slide show we will share with you the various aspects and subtleties of the fingernails of H.H. Dr. Athavale changing colour to yellow. Prior to the change in colour to yellow, the fingernails of H.H. Dr. Athavale had a pinkish hue which signifies Spiritual love (Prīti).

When the fingernails of His Holiness Dr Athavale started to change to yellow, it started from the base of the fingernail. This picture was taken when the base of the right thumbnail began to turn yellow. The left thumb only has a tinge of yellow. The reason for the difference between the left and right hands is explained later in the slideshow.

Here one can see the base of fore fingernail beginning to turn yellow. This is indicative of the Divine consciousness in His Holiness Dr Athavale body beginning to emanate out of his fingernails.

This picture was taken on 28 May 2011, where the fingernails of His Holiness Dr Athavale had turned yellow. When this spiritual phenomenon first started, it went to the darkest stage of yellow. When the yellow colour in the fingernails is most pronounced it means that there is maximum manifestation of Divine consciousness (Chaitanya) for performing His mission in the physical world.

On 4 Jan 2012, we took another picture of His Holiness Dr Athavale’s nails as the yellow colour began to fade. Here it is at medium level of yellow colour. The reason for this is that the Divine consciousness emanating from His Holiness Dr Athavale was now operating more towards the unmanifest nirguṇ.

On 23 Mar 2012, the fingernails showed a very slight sign of yellow. This means that the mission of His Holiness Dr Athavale was operating more at the unmanifest (nirguṇ) level.

The mission of His Holiness Dr Athavale is taking place more at an unmanifest level also known as nirguṇ in Sanskrut. We explained earlier the left side of the body is associated with the Moon channel in the Kunḍalinī system which is associated with the unmanifest. As a result of this, changes on the body of His Holiness Dr Athavale take place on the left first and only later do we see the same changes on the right. However since the right is associated with Sun channel in the Kunḍalinī system or the manifest aspect of His mission, the energy emanating out of his right hand too is more at the manifest level. When the Divine consciousness is more at the manifest level it shows up as deeper colour of yellow (as compared to the left hand).

The mission of His Holiness Dr Athavale is taking place more at an unmanifest level also known as nirguṇ in Sanskrut. We explained earlier the left side of the body is associated with the Moon channel in the Kunḍalinī system which is associated with the unmanifest. As a result of this, changes on the body of His Holiness Dr Athavale take place on the left first and only later do we see the same changes on the right. However since the right is associated with Sun channel in the Kunḍalinī system or the manifest aspect of His mission, the energy emanating out of his right hand too is more at the manifest level. When the Divine consciousness is more at the manifest level it shows up as deeper colour of yellow (as compared to the left hand).

As explained in the previous slide as His Holiness Dr Athavale’s mission is being carried out more at an unmanifest level changes start with the left and move to the right. So also the receding of these changes also happen on the left first and then on the right. It is for this reason that the yellow colour on the right hand manifests later but also recedes later.

It was observed that the little finger nail was the most yellow and the yellowness kept on decreasing towards the forefinger. (Refer to the section 3.2 on the Absolute Cosmic Elements and their relation to each of the fingers.) The little finger is associated with the Absolute Earth element which is required for more manifest energy. The reason for this is there is more manifest Divine consciousness in the little fingers and hence the darker yellow colour. The energy in the fingernails becomes increasingly unmanifest as it goes towards the forefinger.

As started earlier the thumb of a person is associated with the Absolute Cosmic Ether element (Ākāshtattva) and works more at an unmanifest level. As the mission of His Holiness Dr Athavale is taking place at both an unmanifest level and manifest level the thumb along with the other fingers begin to turn yellow with the Divine consciousness being emitted through the nails.

When the big toenails of His Holiness Dr Athavale began to turn yellow, it is an indication that the waves of Divine consciousness or Chaitanya in the form of the Absolute Cosmic Fire Element (Tējtattva) have begun to create a protective covering on the ground with the help of non-materialised Absolute Cosmic Ether element (nirguṇ Ākāshtattva). The big toenail like the thumb is associated with the Absolute Cosmic Ether element which is the most powerful Absolute Cosmic Element and is used to fight the negative energy vibrations from the lower regions of Hell. This protective covering will help seekers during the coming adverse times.

Here the big toenails of a seeker Mr. Vinay Verma have turned yellow. Mr. Verma practices spirituality under the guidance of His Holiness Dr Athavale and had attained a spiritual level of 63% in July 2012. The reason for his big toenail turning yellow is due to his higher spiritual level and involvement in the spread of Spirituality to the masses.

5. What do the yellow fingernails of His Holiness Dr. Athavale look like in the subtle?

In our spiritual research team, we have seekers who have an advanced sixth sense of vision. By the grace of God and with many years of regular spiritual practice these seekers are able to see into the spiritual dimension, just as we see the physical dimension. One such seeker Her Holiness (Mrs.) Yoya Vallee created a drawing based on subtle-knowledge of all the spiritual vibrations emanating from the hand of H.H. Dr. Athavale when His nails had turned yellow. All of H.H. (Mrs.) Yoya Vallee’s drawings based on subtle-knowledge are verified by H.H. Dr. Athavale for subtle-accuracy before they are published.

The accuracy of this drawing based on subtle-knowledge is 80%, which is well above the average subtle or clairvoyant artist’s ability.

6. In summary

The coming times will be very adverse for all of us. Highly evolved Saints such as H.H. Dr. Athavale have made a resolve for the spiritual growth of seekers as this period is very conducive for spiritual growth. When we consistently practice Spirituality, we are also able to access God’s protection. We pray that as many people as possible start spiritual practice and take the maximum benefit of the current times to go ahead in their spiritual journey.
