Temples

Life is a miracle, our body is the temple of Holy spirit who lives in (1 Corinthians 6:19) Nature is our divine mother…and we are her children. There is no other heaven than in between our loved ones. Be it our family or friends, hold them tight and never let them go.
Just as air is everywhere, but we at times need fan to feel it and though there are pen and paper but someone need to hold a pen and write to leave a mark of the thoughts; visiting temple and praying hard for peace and good health helps.
We visit temple for calm and better mind set. Also 5 reasons/benefits are:
1. Location and structure: Normally they are located at ‘Moolasthanam’ or ‘Garbhagriha’ which are high positive wave centric places.
2. Temple and 5 senses: Ringing bell while entering and listening to its vibration – hearing; lighting camphor – sight; hands over camphor flame – touch; offering flowers – smell; drinking theertham – taste. These have the 5 senses activated.
3. Pradakshina: Literally means right side in Sanskrit. Once 5 senses are activated we need to go around the ‘Moolasthanam’ or ‘Garbhagriha’ preferably 9 times.
4. Applying Tilak/kumkum: Normally on the mid-brow region, when done Adnya-chakara is pressed. Facilitates blood supply, helps retain energy in the human body and control the various level of concentration. Also Ashes represent, that the end would be only Ash - Ash is that would remain of everything.
5. Prasadam : Coconut and Banana are considered to be sacred and have important place in all religious activities. All other fruits are tainted (partially eaten; and grown from partially eaten fruit).


Dejected about the circumstances around - especially diseases - taking away the life of young ones - with just born kids - wondering When people have been to Moon, Mars and around the world decades before; when atom bombs and hydrogen bombs are manufactured, when there was penicillin in the 1940s; why is still there no vacine or cure for cancer? If Xray was found long back in 1895; why does it take so long to detect cancer? Is it ture that the pharmaceutical industry would never release a new drug which cured cancer even if they accidentaly found one? Is it because curing cancer would cut into the profits of the super-rich owners of the pharmaceutical industry?

People come to our life - some for a reason; some for a season and just a few for lifetime...we cannot hold on to anyone..time moves on and so do the people as per their priorities...We can definitely learn from them...what to do and what not to...and cherish the moments...Pray hard for the wellbeing of self and all of us around.
