WHY VISIT TEMPLES ? (Scientific Reason)
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.
