The CIA was handed over the Kalpa Vigraha bya Tibetan Monk for Safe Custody and left some instructions. The CIA conducted experiments with the kalpa Vigraha. The CIA conducted some experiments that involved making subjects drink water in which the vigraha was immersed for nine days. Upon monitoring the lives of all the subjects who drank this water it was found that they all lived unusually long lives. Many had crossed the age of 110. It was this astounding discovery, a direct result of the experiments, which made breaking news when retired CIA officials revealed this to the media in 2008 The Water was charged with the idol and individuals from far and wide of the Unite States were given the charged water to drink. The officials , at that time, did not know what to expect. After some time the experiment was discontinued and the records were buried deep in the Vaults of the CIA. The information came out from a Retired CIA officer. The Kalpa Vigraha went missing and at the last count it was reported to be with an employee of IT industry or with a Soft ware professional in Hyderabad , Andhra Pradesh, India. The Kalpa Vigraha of Vishnu. The Kalpa Vigraha is a small crude brass idol weighing about 47.10 gms depicting a deity resembling the Hindu god Shiva kneeling or seated on one knee, a serpant’s hood forming a canopy above the head of the idol. In the right hand of the figure was a discus or circular weapon, perhaps the “sudharshan-chakra” of Hindu mythology. Around its neck was a string of beads. The metal formed three “loops” on one side caused by the snake, an arm holding a conch-shell and the discus. It measured about 5.3 cm tall and about 4.7 cms wide, with an oval base 2.5 cms long and 1.7 cms wide. The Kalpa Vigraha idol was reportedly found placed inside this heavy metal-lined wooden chest with a socket-and-pivot hinged lid and an ancient loop-and-rod lock assembly . The chest itself presented a curiosity, as the space within the box was barely 8 X 8 X 8 inches while the timber pieces used to construct all its five sides was about 8 inches thick each! The timber of which the lid of the chest was made also measured about 6 inches in thickness. The teak-wood timber was further protected by a 1-inch thick bronze-like alloy plate on all sides which despite severe external corrosion had preserved the teak-wood of the box to a fair extent. The metal plate appears to have been riveted into the teakwood with nails of some similar metal alloy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message
