Scientific Analysis of Vigraham (consecrated idols) and Dwajasthambam (Flag pole) in Temples

Modern science has been used to understand the importance of Temple culture and its impact on the society irrespective of religion, caste, creed or color. It is well known that all objects reflect light rays 360 degrees around the object and this phenomenon permits us to visualise objects around us as these rays fall on our retina. The rays emanating from the consecrated idols can be analyzed using Kirlian cameras. Kirlian cameras take photo of light and energy (shakti). Studies have shown that before consecration the idol's photo is black and white and after consecration, an aura of brightness forms around the idols. Photos of each ray emanating from the idol has the full form of the idol on anlaysis. For example , each ray coming from an Idol of Sree Krishna has the full photo of Sree Krishna. The rays coming from the consecrated idol's have the power to kill harmful germs. So when a person prays standing in front of the idol he gets the full benefit of these very powerful rays. This has been proved at Temple University. The rays coming from the idols traverse to the topmost part of the temple called the Stupika and get reflected. For this reason the Stupika's are usually gold plated.

In front of the sanctum sanctorum there exists a Flag Pole called Dwajasthambam. The topmost part is made of Panchaloham and carries the symbol of the Idol's chariot. If it is a Sree Krishna Temple, it will have Garuda at the top. The rays reflected from the Stupika strike the topmost part of the Dwajasthambam and get reflected all around. The region covered by these rays can be calculated by holding a thread at the topmost part of the Dwajasthambam and extending it to the farthest point it can touch on earth. These rays are also reflected from the earth and reach further objects in it's vicinity.

When a person stands in front of the temple and prays, the rays from the consecrated idol enter his body and it has the capacity to cure infectious diseases. If the body of the person is warm, the rays get reflected like rays falling on a glass surface and the person does not benefit from them. Thus people in earlier times visited the temple right after a dip in the Temple pond to get the maximum benefit of these rays. All Temples had a pond next to it for this purpose. The famous scholar Sri Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri did penance at Guruvayoor Temple and prayed daily with wet clothes after a bath at the Temple pond for curing his illness.So we should visit Temples as frequently as we can and preferably with wet clothes or right after a bath.

Significance of 28th Day Thread Ceremony for Newborns.

It is a common custom followed to tie a black or black and yellow thread around the the waist of a Newborn at the 28th day.Initially this custom was followed  exactly at the 28th day after the child was born.Now since people are pre-occupied with work this ceremony is conducted on a Holiday and extends to 29th or 30th day.Majority of the people do not know the significance of this ceremony why it has to be on the 28th day. There are 28 stars associated with our system starting with Aswathy,Bharani and going up-to Abhijith (28th Star.2.5 Nazhika). Normally Astrologers take only 27 stars into consideration because Abhijith has a short time duration when compared to other stars.But Abhijith is strong during the period when it is present.28 days constitute a Chandra Masa(Moon Month). In 28 days these stars will come face to face with the Moon one by one.The rays from the star will get mixed with the rays of the Moon and Somam( A subtle matter in the form of liquid )...

Reason behind choosing Malayalam month Karkidakam as Ramayana Masam

Ramayana Masam is observed to bring out the importance of Ramayana and not of the month.Karkidakam month is often called  "panja masam"  (lean season).New ventures and auspicious functions(Wedding,House Warming,Vidhyarambham etc ) are not held during this month.Karkidakam marks the begining of Dakshinayanam(southern movement of the sun). Inclement weather,poverty and diseases are the highlights of this month.The effect of which is reflected in mankind and in all living  beings. As per Ayurveda shastra this time is good for all health treatments such as Pizhichil ,Uzhichil etc..The change in the sun's path has significant impact on human beings also. Human body and nature are closely associated.Both bodies are made up of Panchabootham(Earth,Water,Fire,Air and Sky). Any change in Prapancha Sareeram(Nature) has a direct effect on Human body and the society.This is based on the Prana (Life Force) and the body.Phenomenon of Uttarayana and Dakshinayana based on the celesti...

Scientific Analysis of Sree Chakra

Modern science has come up with a deeper meaning in Sree Chakra which is considered symbolic in Tantra Sasthra. Experiments show that when the Mula Mantram of Sree Lalithambika Devi is recited correctly ,Sree Durga Devi's form with four hands, is formed in the atmosphere. ഓം ഹ്രീം ലളിതാംബികായൈ നമ: ക എ ഇ ല ഹ്രീം ഹ സ ക ഹ ല ഹ്രീം സ ക ല ഹ്രീം The above Sloka is the Mula Mantram of Sree Lalithambika Devi .The effect of this mantram can be analyzed using the Tonoscope .Tonoscope is an instrument which measures the frequency and tone of sound and gives a pictorial representation of the wave form. When we connect the tonoscope to a computer and recite the mula mantram of Sree Lalithambika Devi the output is the Sree Chakra. Sree Chakra is a mathematical scientific wonder and so far it has not been fully analyzed.The second part of the analysis is to pass a Laser beam through the centre of Sree Chakra and develop a Hologram which results in the image of Sree Lalithambika Devi w...
