WHY TO VISIT TEMPLES ? A must read !
(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
