Last of the series:when in a temple look at all the living beings celebrated in that temple-every temple will have a tree,a pond (water body),an animal,insect,flower that it celebrates!!it sanctifies even the smallest the most goose bump producing guy too -lizards,crawlies,
Hinduism is a way of life not a religion and therefore when you pray you don't need the poojari-do your prayers the way you want it
Why the Thirtams?
Because the idols were made of stone that is made medicinal by anointing in oil.The Azhagar temple in Madurai anoints the Lord with oil for three months in a year during which time the Lord is never adorned with jewels!!They then use camphor and the Thulasi in the water make it a medicine!!!
And that mythical beast in South Indian temples is called a Yazhi-I heard a father tell his kid that it was a dragon-it isntPrivate Reply to Shobha(usha) gowri (new win) |
