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. 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 one 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.
