WHY WE SHOULD VISIT TEMPLES?
WHY WE SHOULD VISIT TEMPLES?
(Scientific Reason)
There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape and
locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way.
Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave
path passes through densely. It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or
city, or in middle of the dwelling place, or on a hilltop. The essence of visiting a
temple is discussed here.
Now, these temples are located strategically at a
place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and
electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed
in the core center of the temple, known as "*Garbhagriha*" or
*Moolasthanam*. In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been
placed. This *Moolasthanam* is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be
maximum. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic
scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? No, they are not
God’s / priests’ flash cards when they forget the *shlokas*. The copper plate
absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a
person regularly visiting a temple and walking clockwise around the Main Idol
receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it. This is a very slow
process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this positive energy.
Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy
life.
Further, the Sanctum is closed on three sides. This
increases the effect of all energies. The lamp that is lit radiates heat energy
and also provides light inside the sanctum to the priests or *poojaris*
performing the pooja. The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers
takes a worshipper into trance, thus not letting 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 idol’s feet and then wear them with the idol’s
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 day’s 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 God’s words in somebody’s 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 “elder’s instructions” or “granny’s teaching’s” which
should be obeyed as a mark of respect so as to once again, avoid stress to the
mediocre brains

Swapaanam: A blend of art and love
It’s either because one
expects too much from the master craftsman, Shaji N Karun, or it’s that his
previous gems are yet to loosen their magic spell on viewers; no matter what,
his latest flick, Swapaanam, comes a cropper compared to his other outings. Nevertheless,
it lends some mesmerising moments though the transcended communion of love,
life and art. By opening the gateway to explore an untrodden path where a
percussion art is blended with a dance form, the director has created an
entirely new universe of aesthetics in cinema.
The
intensity of the novel experience could have reached a level higher had the
story lying beneath been a bit more realistic. In terms of the narrative, there
is nothing much deeper than what one gets to comprehend from the discussions
that had been doing their rounds prior to the film’s release.
Unni
(Jayaram) is a Chenda (a percussion instrument) artist with an ambiguous
parentage and a relentless ambition to excel in his art. However, he is always
overlooked by his own kin despite his unmatched talent. A naive and submissive
artist, he is considered only for supportive roles with the Chenda by his half
brothers who generally lead the Chenda melam performances during festivals.
Despite
the suppression, the exceptional talents of Unni are soon recognised and he
becomes a much sought-after chenda melam performer for festive seasons. Even
though a thorough artist, Unni is never able to read the mind of his wife
Kalyani (Lakshmi Gopalaswami) or her sensibilities. He could hardly realize
that his life was drifting away because of his tryst with destiny that
approached him in the form of Nalini (Kadambari), a Mohiniyattam exponent.
When
Unni displays his magnificent talent by expressing the nuances of Mohiniyattam
on Chenda they experience the marvel of a new world. Nalini instantly falls for
him and identifies her own warmth and tender feelings in him. As they further
explore their new world, they slip into fathomless emotions borne out of an
ethereal blend of their respective arts. It ultimately leads to love that is
identified by discovering oneself through the ecstatic fulfilment of art in the
other, by exchanging the senses and by becoming one with the other - through an
artistic and sensuous communion. It reaches consummation as the two artists let
themselves dissolve in each other and joyfully languish in the labyrinths of
art and love.
There
are some outstanding performances from Siddique as Narayanan Namboothiri,
Vineeth as Thuppan Namboothiri and P D Namboothiri as Achuthan. The film
reaches the zenith of artistic perfection several times when the visuals, music
and sound effects blend together to weave out some exhilarating moments.
Camera
by Saji Nair has produced brilliant and unearthly canvases with nature
displaying unusual colours. Sreevalsan J Menon’s musical ensembles are
sense-soothing feasts and provided marvellous accompaniment to the crests and
troughs of emotions. Conforming well to the fusion of arts in the movie, the
musical compositions blend Carnatic and modern musical elements extraordinarily
well. Forces of nature, which are common in all Shaji N Karun’s movies, are
present here too and they are enlivened by brilliant sound designs. The script
by Harikrishnan and Sajeev Pazhoor etches out too many moments, which worth the
experience.
Shaji
N Karun and crew should have kept in mind that all these would have been
forever archived in the Classic genre of Malayalam cinema had they taken care
of the layout of the storyline and the logic and reasons behind situations. As
a movie on art, love and the pangs of love, Swapaanam gives ample room for
critics to flourish both for and against it as it makes for a good watch for
its artistic sequences that are exuberant. At the same time, the film can also
be written off as forgettable with regard to its narrative, which is loose and
incoherent.

Consumers can get LPG cylinders without Aadhaar account: Government
NEW DELHI: Subsidised LPG cylinders can be purchased without having an Aadhaar account, the government informed the Lok Sabha on Friday.
A
clarification on delinking Aadhaar account from disbursal of subsidised
LPG cylinders would be issued within a week, Petroleum and Natural Gas
Minister Veerappa Moily said during Question Hour.
"A
clarification will be issued within a week," he said. As far as Direct
Benefit Transfer (DBT) is concerned, Cabinet has decided to delink
Aadhar account from disbursal of subsidised LPG cylinders. Now,
subsidised cylinders can be purchased without Aadhaar account, Moily
said.
He
said there have been some problems in DBT programme, mainly related to
banks, which have been given Rs 435 per cylinder (for subsidy) which is
not enough since the subsidised price of one cylinder has increased to
Rs 700.
He also emphasised that the government has not increased the price of subsidised cylinders for consumers.
Under DBT, about 4.86 crore accounts have been made and around 2.06 crore households have received subsidised cylinders.
Regarding
Know Your Customer (KYC) norms for LPG connections, the Minister said
the government has already issued clarifications regarding multiple
connections and would liberally look into the matter if required.
Regarding
Know Your Customer (KYC) norms for LPG connections, the Minister said
the government has already issued clarifications regarding multiple
connections and would liberally look into the matter if required.
To a query, he said the government would think of a new scheme to ensure
that LPG connections reach people, especially to those Below Poverty
Line (BPL), at the earliest.
The Minister noted that about 96 per cent of BPL families use less than six LPG cylinders a year on a single family basis.
Noting that about 60 per cent of people are covered by LPG and PNG
connections, Moily said the idea is to make the coverage 100 per cent.
The government, if required, is ready to open more outlets and kendras for gas connections, he said.
He also said the government has increased the limit of subsidised LPG cylinders to 12 per year.
When
a member requested the minister to provide coupons to MPs so that they
can facilitate quicker LPG connections in their respective
constituencies to those who are in urgent need of connection, Moily
said, "We will consider it".

ദിലീപും മഞ്ജുവും ഇനി കുടുംബക്കോടതിയിലേക്ക് ?

Malayalam Film News: ദിലീപ് - മഞ്ജു വാര്യര് ബന്ധത്തിലുള്ള സ്വരചേര്ച്ചകളെ കോര്ത്തിണക്കിയുള്ള ഗോസിപ്പുകള് നിരവധിയാണ്. അഭ്യൂഹങ്ങള്ക്ക് വിരാമമിട്ട് ദിലീപും മഞ്ജുവും ഉടന് വേര്പിരിയുന്നതായി റിപ്പോര്ട്ട്. ചില ഓണ്ലൈന് സൈറ്റുകളിലാണ് ഇത് സംബന്ധിച്ചുള്ള വാര്ത്തകള് പരക്കുന്നത്.
തൃശൂര് കുടുംബകോടതിയില് വിവാഹബന്ധം വേര്പിരിയുന്നതിനുള്ള സംയുക്ത അപേക്ഷയില് ഇരുവരും ഒപ്പുവെച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. സ്വത്തുക്കള് പങ്കുവെയ്ക്കുന്ന കാര്യത്തില് തീരുമാനമാകാത്തതുകൊണ്ടാണ് വിവാഹമോചനം നീട്ടികൊണ്ടു പോകുന്നതെന്നുമാണ് വാര്ത്തകള്.
ഏക മകള് മീനാക്ഷിയുടെ കാര്യത്തിലും ഇവര് തമ്മില് ധാരണയിലെത്തിയതായും സൂചനകളുണ്ട്. നിലവില് ദിലീപിനൊപ്പമാണ് മകള് താമസിക്കുന്നത്.
നേരത്തെ മഞ്ജു വാര്യര് സ്വന്തം പേരില് നിന്നും ഭര്ത്താവായ ദിലീപിന്റെ പേര് ഒഴിവാക്കിയിരുന്നു. മഞ്ജു ഗോപാലകൃഷ്ണന് എന്ന പേരു മാറ്റി മഞ്ജു വാര്യര് എന്ന പേരു തന്നെ ആക്കിയിരുന്നു.
നടന് ദിലീപിന്റെ യഥാര്ത്ഥ പേരാണ് ഗോപാലകൃഷ്ണന്. പേരു കൂടാതെ വീട്ടുവിലാസവും മാറ്റാനാണ് മഞ്ജുവിന്റെ തീരുമാനം. തൃശൂരിലെ സ്വന്തം ഭവനമായ പുള്ളിലെ വസതിയായിരിക്കും പുതിയ വിലാസം. നേരത്തെ ദിലീപിന്റെ വസതിയായിരുന്നു വിലാസത്തില് ഉള്പ്പെടുത്തിയിരുന്നത്.
