...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...

...chime of bells announces the arrival of visitors to the Guang Ming Temple of Central Florida. Commonly associated with fat bald men and the infamous term karma, Buddhism is one of many religions practiced today. Practitioners reside everywhere from the vast continent of Asia, to your very own backyard. Located in Orlando, the Guang Ming Temple is one of more than two hundred temples around the world, belonging to the Fo Guang Shang Buddhist order.

...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...

...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...

...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.

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.

In which they belong to every period from the Archaic to Roman times, and it demonstrates the full development of the Doric style.

...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).
