Mind you, science has time and again proven the concepts it once staunchly defended to be false. New budding sciences like quantum physics are now challenging the very base of our science.

There can be no better sign for a society than its members embracing rationality and talking sense. However , this rational attitude we boast of often comes wrapped in the cloak of our orthodox (so called) scientific notions, a cloak through which we are rarely able to see, blinding us to the real truth.

The recently trending “women entering Shani Mandir” phenomenon is a proof that our society which once used to be blinded by the beliefs it was fed with and took honour in killing and being killing to defend them, without having any regard to their authenticity is now questioning and reflecting upon their thoughts, beliefs and actions (or at least a part of it is).

That is why the women who intend to enter the Shani temple and their supporters need to have this quick fact check.

THE SCIENCE OF TEMPLE CONSTRUCTION

THE STRUCTURE

A temple is not merely a building but an energy centre. It is required to be constructed in a way that would aid to harness maximum radiation from the earth. These temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple, known as “Garbhagriha” or “Moolasthanam”. In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed. This “Moolasthanam” is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum.

THE COPPER PLATE BENEATH IDOL

We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it. This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this positive energy. After all , it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy life.

THE WAY WE PRAY

Taking off footwear

Right from childhood, we have always been instructed to take off our footwear before entering a temple. This is done so that, we are able to absorb the radiation from temple’s ground with our bare feet.

Praying with joined hands

For the absorbed energy to remain within our body, we need a closed circuit. Our feet, one of the ending points of our nerves are receiving the inflow of energy which could easily radiate out of our body through other nerve end points, i.e our hands. To prevent this, we are required to join hands while praying, resulting in a closed body circuit.

THE TEMPLE BELLS

A Temple bell is yet another wondrous custom. It is not supposed to be made using just any one usual metal. It is made of various metals including lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium and manganese. The proportion in which each one of them mixed is a true scientific phenomenon. On obtaining the right mix, it produces a distinct sound that it can create unity of your left and right brain, enabling you to concentrate and pray.

The list could just go on and on, but I guess these points are enough to instigate many questions in the mind of a true rational person.

Women are not forbidden to enter all temples so why this specific temple?

Is the radiation there harmful for a woman body anatomy?

Or is the cosmic energy there not quite right for women?

A system that has a rationale for many of its customs maybe could have one for this one!

I personally feel that before taking any step further, a proper study of these aspects is indispensible.

Here I do not deny that there exist many other customs, which were made up by our ancestors for oppressing the weak and their own benefit. I strongly condemn and oppose such customs which cause hindrance to freedom and dignity of any human or even go further and threaten their lives.

But just as not all practices are authentic and meant for betterment of society, not all are vague either.

I staunchly believe that

“Our inability to find a rationale and comprehend logic doesn’t imply it’s absence.”

P.S: Just a personal point of view, always open for discussion:)
