FORM OF WORSHIP: TEMPLES, PUJA AND HOMA |

Temples
We also need more formal places of worship as we no longer live in nature. The Divine presence should
not be excluded from our communities. Temples are important as they provide a sacred
space for the community to gather wherein our spiritual energies can
be renewed. They serve as channels to bring Divine grace into the world. They
become a focus for our collective aspiration. Each temple should be the meeting
place for the whole community wherein we come together to share our aspiration in life.
Temples, moreover, are not connected only with the physical nature. They are linked to nature on
the astral plane. Hence they use forms of art, color, sound and incense which bring us into the
presence and power of the subtle nature. They become doorways into the subtle
realms of religion and spirituality.
Temples serve to create an occult force in the world. They keep our psyche and collective mind clear
and open to Divine grace. They serve as a focus to bring the energy of the sacred into our
sphere of activity. As such they aid in the prevention of social calamities like
crime, wars or plagues.
