1. Introduction
The Maharshi University of Spirituality, located in Goa, India has been involved in over 30 years of spiritual research about the spiritual dimension and subtle energies and how they affect a person’s life ubiquitously. The intention is to help people make more informed decisions along with gaining a holistic understanding of life. To this end, we have been publishing our research on the website www.spiritual.university and www.ssrf.org along with publishing papers at various conferences about various findings and phenomena from a spiritual perspective.
