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 idols feet and then wear them with the idols 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 days 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 Gods words in somebodys 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 elders instructions or
grannys teachings which should be obeyed as a mark of respect so as to once again, avoid stress to
the mediocre brains.
