Because of its location where high magnetic values are available, the Main Idol is placed in the core center, and also because they place a copper plate written with some Vedic scripts, which is buried, beneath the Main Idol's placement known as
"Garbhagriha" or Moolasthan, the copper absorbs the earths magnetic waves and radiates to the surroundings. Thus a person who regularly visiting a temple and taking clockwise rounds of the Main Idol's placement, automatically receive the beamed magnetic values absorbed in his body. This is very slow and a regular visit will make him absorb more energy. What
scientifically it is known is positive energy. In addition,
the Sanctum sanctorum is completely enclosed on three
sides. The effect of all energies is very high in here. The lamp that is lit
radiates the heat and light energy. The ringing of the bells and the chanting of
prayers gives the sound energy. The fragrance from the flowers, the burning of
camphor give out the chemical energy. The effect of all these
energies is activated by the positive energy that comes out of the idol. This is
in addition to the north/south pole magnetic energy that is
absorbed by the copper plate and utensils that are kept in
the Moolasthan known as grabagraham. The
water is used for the Pooja is mixed with Cardamom, Benzoine, Holy Basil (Tulsi),
Clove, etc. are mixed that is known as "Theertham".
This water becomes more energized because it receives the positive ness
of all these energies combined. When persons go to
the 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
people passes on the energy to all. That is the reason why, men are not allowed
to wear shirts to the temple and ladies have to wear more ornaments because it
is through these jewels (metal) that positive energy is absorbed in ladies. 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
Lost energy in a days work is regained this way and one gets being 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 in one's body and mind, for those who take a regular
clock-wise round circle every day. In addition at the temples they offer holy water about three spoons. This water is mainly a source of magneto therapy kind because usually they place the copper water vessel at the Garbhagriha. It also contains the values of cardamom, clove, saffron, etc to add taste and Tulsi
(holy Basil) leaves are put into the water to increase its medicinal value! The
clove essence protects one from tooth decay, the saffron
& Tulsi leave essence protects one from common cold and cough,
cardamom and benzoine known as Pachha Karpuram, acts
as a mouth refreshing agents! This way, one's health too is
protected, by regularly visiting the Temples. The
entire thing just become more energized locally, that the
visit and consuming the holy water and the other offerings
are worth for the visitor's health and longevity.
Apart from the above facts, each and every round taken in the temple is just simply burning fats in human body and in those days people regularly visited temples and never used to get sugar complaints/diabetic! In addition to it the Vedic chanting helps visitors some refreshing feeling in body and mind thus achieving mental peace, which is the ultimate aim of every
soul. And in those days, it was quite rare, you'll see
persons with Sugar level high in their blood. In fact, the
regular round trip to the temple itself protects one from
increasing sugar levels.
OKAY, DO ALL THE TEMPLES HAVE THE SAME VALUE?
NO, NOT AT ALL. Those temples constructed in earlier during Vedic Era used to be in accordance with Vedic principles and it has all such rich potentials listed above. As of now only about 180 temples in India qualify this & most of it is situated in the southern part of India. The location, structural, daily rituals followed without fail etc are counted.
Unfortunately, some of the temples that are materially
worthy are in the verge of collapse and are neglected of any
proper maintenance. In fact, most of these architectural
marvels deserves protection from the Heritage point of view,
if not from the Religious importance!
In fact out of 108 Divyakshetras known as Srivaishnava
Divyadesams (SriVaishnava's Holy Pilgrimage spots) of Sri
Vaishnava, 106 are located on the earth, most of them situated in southern part of India, said to be with high value of Vedic reliance. Though many of them in worst condition, still the values can be received by a visit to these places.
That's why the pilgrimage carried out by the religious and orthodox Indians to temples. And sure IT CURE S!! Cure from many ills.
The temples in the roadside and every nook and corner can never be matched with the ones constructed and placed in accordance with Vedic principles. However it may give some relief from a days tension and a visit to a temple itself gives some peace to many, the inner feeling for prayer and Bhakti can never be questioned.
These
108 Divyadesams (Sri Vaishnava pilgrimage spots are known as
Divya Kshetram) are found throughout India and they are
