Temple – The Centre of Power & Knowledge
A temple is not merely a place where the Lord’s idol is installed, where God incarnated himself in the form of an idol or statue. It is a place of infinite power and knowledge. The scriptures dealing with sculpture and temple rituals have explained this in detail. The sculptor or carver of temples and the sanctum sanctorum follows the guidelines given in scriptures.
The scholars well-versed in rituals first select a suitable place for building a temple and installing the deity’s idol. They follow several rules and regulations. They select a place where the gravitational forces are abundant. At that place of gravity, they install the Lord’s idol and also copper Yantras. The copper metal absorbs the gravitational force and spreads all over the place.
These powerful weaves spread by the Yantra will enter the body of the devotees when they circumambulate around the temple. This is one of the reasons for a marked change in the devotees who frequently visit temples. In addition to this, the power waves created out of rendering slokas by the priests also instil positive energies in the devotees.
Devotees feel exuberated when they visit temples frequently. Elders also suggest that when they do so, they energise themselves with this positive feeling.
Mantras – Wisdom waves
Lord resides in the Mantra, and when such a mantra is recited, the power enters the human body. This cleanses the mind and body while ignorance is destroyed. The inner devotional powers of men are invoked due to the recitation of the mantras. They realise this personally as their contaminated mind with anger, lust, desire, ego, and envy will slowly recede. The mind becomes fresh with pious thoughts.
The mantras are composed of Beeja Letters. There is a strong connection between sound and power. Sound produces vibration. If the mantras are recited perfectly, the hidden power in the Beeja Letters evokes superior power.
The sound waves spawned from the mantras have excellent energy. They influence the nature, humans and the creation of the universe. This fact has been acknowledged by the present scientific community.
The Beeja Letters not only conjure the inner energy of mankind but also invoke the invisible powers in nature. Our ancestors have amply demonstrated how, with the rendering of the mantras, rains are created and lamps lighted. It happens because the sound waves have the strength to move the atoms in nature. Hence, it is said that every letter is a Beeja and every Beeja letter is the personification of God.
If the devotee recites the Mantra with concentration and devotion, his Sadhana (the methodical discipline to attain the desired knowledge or goal) will be achieved. A simple recitation sans concentration and belief does not yield desired results.
The devotees should obtain the desired Mantra, which they would like to practice, only from the Guru. If one practices a mantra by reading from books or media, it is of no use. It may create negative vibes. The devotee, after obtaining the Mantra from the Guru, should practice with utmost devotion and belief. Then it will yield positive results.
The Om is a combination of “Aa”, “Vu”, and “Ma.” When we recite this syllabi wise, “Aa” invokes movements in the Heart and abdomen, “Vu”, the neck and upper part of the Heart and “Ma” nostrils and mind. All the letters, when combined and recited, will create vibration in the upper part of the body. It means that the Six Chakras explained in Yoga Sastra will be evoked.
The modern experiments conducted on the impact of reciting ‘Om’ apprise that if it is recited in a frequency of 425 Hz, binaural waves are created. Because of that, Alpha (8-13.9 Hz). Beta (14-30 Hz), Theta (4-7.9 Hz) and Delta (0.1 – 3.9 Hz) waves explore the mind. Their experiments revealed that on recitation of OM, the mental capacities of a man are taken from Beta to Delta and create mental peace.
Consciousness of Subtle elements
This universe is bifurcated into subtle and versatile. The body is versatile, whereas the mind is subtle. The subtle mind is more powerful than the versatile body. Our mental capabilities are more powerful than our physical strength. Man is able to perform great deeds because of the subtle power. If the subtle power is united with the waves generated out of mantras, it leads to great achievements.
There are several doubts in the minds of people regarding the secrets of mantras and Beeja letters. They comment differently. If the mantras are recited the way they should be, desired results are achieved. If one wants to understand the intricate knowledge embedded in the puranas, one should have a full understanding of the mantras.
The sound waves have an extreme influence on the mental and physical faculties of people. Some sound waves result in health deterioration, fear, and desperation, while positive sound waves create energy vibes in tune with a healthy environment.
The mantra recitation creates sound waves that reach the mind through the ears. The waves from the mind will extend to each part of the body to regenerate, reinvigorate and energise.
