...WHY VISIT TEMPLES ? (Scientific Reason) There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape and locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way. Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave path passes through densely. It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or city, or in middle of the dwelling place, or on a hilltop. The essence of visiting a temple is discussed here. Now, 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. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? No, they are not God’s / priests’ flash cards when they forget the *shlokas*. 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. Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy...

...hypersensitivity, and uniqueness itself. Just like the blind have amazing audition, people who have the social phobia or autism may be exceedingly creative. The film Temple Grandin, directed by Mick Jackson, perfectly illustrates that a girl named Temple Grandin, who actually is an autistic person, grows with fear, doubt, and loneliness but overcomes her autism and achieves great scientific accomplishments. Temple could not speak until age four. When her mom takes her to the psychiatrist, Temple is diagnosed with autism. Instead of following the advice of the doctor, her mom insists on sending Temple to school, rather than an institution for special children. Temple never wants to be touched by any other people except herself, not even her mother. She is willing to spin or put herself in a narrow “squeeze machine”, which can make her calmed and satisfied. Temple’s mind works like pictures. She is a “visual thinker” who thinks and memorizes things like taking pictures. Temple’s life is not easy and happy. In the film, she is laughed at by her classmates and she is even regarded as a freak because she is weird and behaves differently. However, Temple’s high school teacher Carlock notices she has amazing abilities and she is also fascinated by science, so he wants to foster Temple and takes care of this girl. To everyone’s surprise, Temple, as a graduate student, works as a consultant of companies to improve cattle’s environment. Using her visual thinking, she builds a long and curly channel...

...Temple Work or Temple Blessings My mission wasn’t anything I thought it would be. It was far better than I thought it would ever be and it changed me forever. Something happened to me there that I will never forget and it helped inspire me for this this project for me. I all started the day I left for my mission. Right before I entered the MTC I made a few quick stops. One of them was a stop at my grandparents house just down the street from the MTC. After I took some pictures and embraced my grandparents for the last for two I made a statement that turned out to be prophetic. As I was getting into the car I turned to my mom and said to her, “This might be the last time I ever see Poppa” Poppa is a my grandfather, at the time he was very sick and we weren’t sure how much longer he would make it. His quality of life had been diminishing for a few months and mentally he was losing the strength to continue. My Poppa wasn’t a member of the church either. Fast-forward a year and a half later. I enter the library in a town outside Boston, Massachusetts to email my parents like any other Monday. I opened my email to read that my cousin who was only a few months older than me had passed away due to substance abuse and that my Poppa had suffered a seizure and was in a medically induced coma. My mind went blank. I could not think. I couldn’t speak. I had only heard of things like this happening to other people it didn’t happen to me and my family. We were safe from that kind...

...Greek temples were often designed to serve as protect statues within Greek sanctuaries in Greek paganism. The temples usually indirectly served as a cult purpose, meanwhile the sacrifices and rituals devoted to the respective divinity took place outside them. Temples were frequently used to store votive offerings. They are the most widespread and known building type in Greek architecture. There are artists today who have tried to mimic artists in ancient Greece, but have failed miserably. One of the most significant features to come out of Greek art is the architecture, most prominent the three architectural orders of ancient Greece, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. The workings of this order has a systematic order of inter dependable parts whose scopes are based upon mathematical ratios. The basic components of all three orders are the columns. Although most of us do not know this order, they see it every day. The Doric order has shafts that composed of drums seated on top of a sty lobate. The shafts do not have bases in the Doric order like they do in the others. At the top of each column lies an entablature and at the top of each entablature lies a pediment. The Doric order was mainly used in Greek and Rome and was the earliest of the three orders. The Doric order came about in a definite form in 7th century B.C, but it was not widely used until the 19th century during the Greek revival which was an architectural movement that took place between the end of the 18th century and...

...The temple of Hera, also called the Haraion, is one of the first monumental temples in Greece. It is located in the north-west corner of the blessed area of the Altis, on the south slopes of Kronios hill, secured by a powerful terrace wall. It was devoted to the Olympian sanctuary by the people of Skillous, which is an ancient city of Eleia. It has been said that the temple was built approximately eight years after Oxylos rose to the throne of Elis, which was c. 1096 BC, but in reality it is much later. Around 650 BC, the first Heraion was built, it was a small Doric temple with merely a cella and pronaos. Later in 600 BC, the opisthodomos and ptero were added. However, the theory that the entire temple was built around 600 BC prevails today. The temple was renovated a few times, and the Romans decided to convert it into a kind of museum. The museum was for sanctuary’s choicest treasures, such as the famous Hermes by Praxiteles. The temple, which has a typical squat appearance owing to its great length in proportion to itsextent and its low height, is orientated east-west. It was a Doric peripteral hexastyle with sixteen columns at the sides. The original wooden columns were slowly replaced by stone ones. In which they belong to every period from the Archaic to Roman times, and it demonstrates the full development of the Doric style. Even when Pausanias visited the temple in the second century AD, a wooden column was still in place at the opisthodomos. The columns had shallow...

...Tabernacle and Temple Comparison The Tabernacle was a sanctified place where God chose to meet his people, the Israelites, during the 40 years they roamed in the desert under Moses’ guidance. The leaders and people came together to worship and offer sacrifices. The detailed layout of the Tabernacle and its courtyard is important because it shows God’s given way for man to approach Him. This setup informed the Israelites they could only come to God in the way he prescribed. The Tabernacle entailed a tent-like structure covered by rug-like layers for a roof, and an exterior courtyard. The Tabernacle was separated into the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies (The Tabernacle Place, 2006). It was made of acacia wood boards coated with gold and fitted together to form the walls. On top, four layers of curtains represented a roof to protect the Tabernacle from sun and rain, the innermost layer was knitted with good linen and embroidered with angel figures, the second layer was made of goat’s hair, the third layer was made of rams’ skins dyed red, and the outermost layer was made of porpoise skins (The Tabernacle Place, 2006). The curtains were held to the ground with loops and clasps. The Tabernacle was enclosed by a tall fence made of lined draperies (The Tabernacle Place, 2006). The whole compound was surrounded by a high fence with only one entrance. The gate was concealed by a curtain or screen made of finely twisted linen with the colors blue, purple and...

...Q1. Evaluate the cross-border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand over the possession of the Preah Vihear Temple from the geopolitical and mediatory role of ASEAN in the conflict resolution process. Cambodia and Thailand had a long history of wars and disputes between them even though they were neighboring countries in Southeast Asia. Dispute over the Preah Vihear Temple was not something new. This dispute has been going on for over a hundred years and both states have exchanged fire over this possession of the temple in October 2008 to April 2009. Preah Vihear Temple is located between the Choam Khsant district in the Sisaket province of Northeastern Thailand. Upon the Cambodian Independence and the French withdrawal in 1953, Thailand took over the temple in 1954. But in 1962, International Court of Justice (ICJ) awarded the ownership of the Preah Vihear Temple to Cambodia by a 9 to 3 vote by affirming the Preah Vihear is in the Cambodian territory using a 1907 map. But the court had only ruled that the temple belonged to Cambodia but did not rule on the surrounding lands. Therefore Thailand reacted by only handing over the temple with nearly no surrounding areas to Cambodia unwillingly. Even though one of ASEAN's aims was to accelerate economic growth, social progress, cultural development among its members, the protection of the peace and stability of the region and to provide opportunities for member countries to discuss differences peacefully. On July 22, 2008...
