There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape
and locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way.
Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave
path passes through densely. It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or
city, or in middle of the dwelling place, or on a hilltop.
The essence of visiting a temple is discussed here.
Now, these temples are located strategically at a place where the positive
energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave
distributions of north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the
core center of the temple, known as "Garbhagriha" or Moolasthanam. In fact,
the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed. This
Moolasthanam is where earth's magnetic waves are found to be maximum. We
know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried
beneath the Main Idol . What are they really? No, they are not God's /
priests' flash cards when they forget the shlokas.
The copper plate absorbs earth's magnetic waves and radiates it to the
surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking
clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his
body absorbs it. This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let
him absorb more of this positive energy. Scientifically, it is the positive
energy that we all require to have a healthy life.
Further, the Sanctum is closed on three sides. This increases the effect of
all energies. The lamp that is lit radiates heat energy and also provides
light inside the sanctum to the priests or poojaris performing the pooja.
The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers takes a worshipper into
trance, thus not letting his mind waver. When done in groups, this helps
people forget personal problems for a while and relieve their stress.
The fragrance from the flowers, the burning of camphor give out the chemical
energy further aiding in a different good aura. The effect of all these
energies is supplemented by the positive energy from the idol, the copper
plates and utensils in the Moolasthanam /Garbagraham.
Theertham, the "holy" water used during the pooja to wash the idol is not
plain water cleaning the dust off an idol. It is a concoction of Cardamom,
Karpura (Benzoin), zaffron / saffron, Tulsi (Holy Basil), Clove, etc . . .
Washing the idol is to charge the water with the magnetic radiations thus
increasing its medicinal values. Three spoons of this holy water is
distributed to devotees.
Again, this water is mainly a source of magneto-therapy. Besides, the clove
essence protects one from tooth decay, the saffron & Tulsi leafs protects
one from common cold and cough, cardamom and Pachha Karpuram (benzoin), act
as mouth fresheners. It is proved that Theertham is a very good blood
purifier, as it is highly energized.. Hence it is given as prasadam to the
devotees.
This way, one can claim to remain healthy by regularly visiting the Temples.
This is why our elders used to suggest us to offer prayers at the temple so
that you will be cured of many ailments . They were not always
superstitious. Yes, in a few cases they did go overboard when due to
ignorance they hoped many serious diseases could be cured at temples by
deities. When people go to a temple for the Deepaaraadhana, and when the
doors open up, the positive energy gushes out onto the persons who are
there. The water that is sprinkled onto the assemblages passes on the energy
to all.
This also explains why men are not allowed to wear shirts at a few temples
and women are requested to wear more ornaments during temple visits . It is
through these jewels (metal) that positive energy is absorbed by the women .
Also, it is a practice to leave newly purchased jewels at an idol's feet and
then wear them with the idol's blessings.
This act is now justified after reading this article . This act of
"seeking divine blessings" before using any new article, like books or pens
or automobiles may have stemmed from this through mere observation.
Energy lost in a day's work is regained through a temple visit and one
is refreshed slightly . The positive energy that is spread out in the entire
temple and especially around where the main idol is placed, are simply
absorbed by one's body and mind.
Our practices are NOT some hard & fast rules framed by 1 man and his
followers or God's words in somebody's dreams.
All the rituals, all the practices are, in reality, well researched,
studied and scientifically backed thesis which form the ways of nature to
lead a good healthy life.
The scientific and research part of the practices are well camouflaged as
"elder's instructions" or "granny's teaching's"
