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 *Moolasthan*am / *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. Did you know,
every Vaishnava(Vishnu devotees), “must” visit a Vishnu temple twice every day
in their location. Our practices are NOT some hard and 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” which should be obeyed as a mark of respect so as to once again,
avoid stress to the mediocre brains
