INDIA is a home
of Temples with varied culture and heritage. 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.

Usually 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 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 and 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 are 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.
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 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.
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.
