OF RITUALS, TEMPLES AND FESTIVALS IN HINDUISM |

| Actually the temple represents the Lord and His creation (the
universe) in all its aspects. Usually
the gateway to a temple will be a massive and magnificent
construction. When we stand in front of it we are made to feel so
insignificant before the Lord of the universe ! As we proceed
inwards leaving behind the grand carvings and decorations of the
outside, we notice that the sanctum sanctorum itself is small and
dark.
We can have the darshan of the Lord only when a light is lit
up and waved before Him. This indicates that we have to leave the
grand external world outside, direct our minds inward, light up the
lamp of knowledge there and behold the Lord within the sanctum
sanctorum of our hearts. |
