PLACE
OF RITUALS, TEMPLES AND FESTIVALS IN HINDUISM |

| Hinduism
considers religion and spirituality to be purely a personal affair.
It concerns with the eternal relationship between the Eternal Soul
and the Eternal God. Hence the Hindu is obliged neither to build a
temple nor pay a visit to it on any particular day. To him his own
body is the temple, the abode of the Lord.
However, for the sake of the ordinary
people who are incapable of comprehending this truth, who always
need an external support for the practice of their religion, temples
are recommended. Even the temple is only an external symbol of this
body. In fact, many of the technical names of the various parts of a
temple are identical with the names of the various parts of the
body. |
