10 Scientific Reasons Why We Should Visit to Temple
The Location and Structure of the Temple
Temples are carefully located in places where positive energy is strong because of the magnetic and electric wave transfers of north/south post push. The idol of God is located in the temple's main center, known as "Garbhagriha" or "Moolasthanam". Ideally, the temple structure is created after the idol has been set in a high positive wave-centric location. This *moolasthanam* is where the earth's magnetic waves are found to be the most severe.
Remove Your Footwear Before Entering the Temple
Temples are places where pure vibrations of magnetic and electromagnetic fields carry beneficial energy. In the past, temples were designed such that the floor in the heart of the temple acted as an excellent conductor of these pleasant vibrations, allowing them to move through our feet and into our bodies. As a result, entering the temple's main center requires you to go barefoot.
Senses
Humans have five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. These are triggered by the following actions in the temple: The good energy at the temple can only be effectively absorbed if you activate all five senses in your body while there. Furthermore, the place of worship is deemed to be pleasing only if your five senses are satisfied.
Ringing the Temple Bell.
People who visit the temple should and will ring the bell before entering the inner temple (Garbhagudi, Garbhagriha, Moolasthanam, or womb-chamber), which houses the primary idol. These bells are designed in such a manner that when they make a sound, it unites the Left and Right sides of our brains. When we ring the bell, it makes a sharp and persistent sound that lasts at least 7 seconds in echo mode. The length of the echo is sufficient to activate all seven healing centers in our body. This clears our mind of any bad notions. The idol absorbs the bell sound and vibrates within the Garbhagudi for a certain period of time.
Lighting Camphor in Front of Idol: Sight Sense Activated
The interior core of the temple is generally gloomy, especially where the idol is located. You normally close your eyes to pray, and when you open them, you should notice the camphor that was lit to perform the Aarthi in front of the idol. This light viewed in the dark awakens your visual perception. Another purpose for lighting camphor is to allow the idol to absorb heat and vibrate within the Garbhagudi for a set amount of time.
Put your hands over the camphor flames.
Once the camphor is delivered to you after the prayer, you normally place your hands over it to warm them up before touching your eyes with them. This step ensures that your touch sense is engaged.
Offering Flowers to God at the Temple.
Flowers are attractive to look at, have a pleasant aroma, and are extremely soft to the touch. The nectar provided by the flower is pleasant to the tongue, and this combination is ideal for use in temples. Only particular flowers, such as rose petals, jasmine, and marigold, are used as offerings to God depending on a variety of qualities, the most significant of which is scent. The scent of the flower, camphor, and instance sticks all have a powerful essence that keeps your sense of smell active and pleasant, bringing serenity to the mind.
Drinking Theertham.
The water used for theertham often contains Thulasi leaves steeped in water and must be held in a copper vessel for at least eight hours. According to Ayurveda, water held in a copper jar may balance the three doshas in your body (vata, kapha, and pitta) by positively charging the water. Drinking this Thulasi water activates the taste sense. Other benefits of drinking Tulsi water from a copper or silver vessel include relief from sore throats, fever and common colds, coughs, respiratory disorders, kidney stone development, and lower chances of heart disease.
Pradakshina around Garbhagriha/Moolasthanam.
Finally, after following all of the aforementioned rites, you must go around the idol within the Garbhagriha, the temple's innermost chamber, nine times in a clockwise orientation. The idol within the Garbhagriha absorbs all of the energy from the bell sound and camphor heat, vibrating the good energy within the Garbhagriha for a certain amount of time. When you perform the pradakshina at this time, you tend to absorb all of these wonderful vibrations since your five senses are active. This vibration within the Garbhagriha is significantly lower, hence it is recommended that visitors return to the temple frequently and repeat the same rites.
Applying Tilak/Kumkum Provided By The Temple Priest
An area on the forehead, between the two brows, has been recognized as a key nerve point in the human body since antiquity. The Tilak is said to prevent "energy loss," while the crimson 'kumkum' between the brows is meant to keep energy in the human body and control varying degrees of focus. When applying kumkum, the spots on the mid-brow and Adnya-chakra are automatically pushed. This also improves blood flow to the facial muscles.
