MANDIRS |

| One of them is
the prana pratistha. The statues in side temples are not just pieces of rocks. With special mantras there have been invocation and institution of life energy in them. The light in a temple comes from ghee lamps. The quality of light and its effects on the eyes coming from a kerosene oil, perhaps more economical, is not the same as that emanating from a ghee lamp. Try doing a tratak dhyan on a kerosene lamp and then on a ghee lamp.The sooth- ing effects of the ghee lamp is obvious. Similarly, a sandal paste on the forehead (near the third eye) has not only a cooling effect but also a balmy effect. All these things were not just accidents. They have been the work of many people over a period of time to get to the mature stage of usage. |
