Why we go to places of worship:
People of all religion go to their respective places of worship like the temples of Hindus, Churches of Christians and Mosques of Muslims and other religious places of other religions. Why we are going there? Majority of the human beings are having an inner restlessness. Whatever is achieved, still they feel that something is wanting. Actually what we search for is the peace and tranquility.Why go to the religious places for this? The earth is having various kinds of energy all over it. The easiest one we understand is the gravitational energy (force). In the olden days whenever, a place of worship is to be built, the experts of the various fields of life like the Vaastu, architecture, diviners and the priests etc are involved and they select the place where the institution is to be built. They select the best place with the best positive energy concentration. The materials for constructions are selected; the images, idols etc are also made out of the selected materials. So when the building is complete the positive energy of nature is maximum in the place. After the completion of the building and installation of the images, expert priests do the chanting on the almighty and sanctify the place with further pure and positive energy. In case of Hindu Temples, invariably there will be a tank, lake, river or ocean close by which mostly will have some special effect on those who take bath in it, because of some minerals/medicinal properties present. There will also be one or more of the trees like papal, banyan; neem etc inside the compound which will create some special effect in the atmosphere of the temple. The thirtha given will contain essences of the materials used for the abhisheka of the idol and flowers used which all will have some minerals or medicinal substances. All these create a positive vibration, peace of mind and relief in some cases of sicknesses. If people without any prejudice go there, they will feel a difference in the atmosphere comparing to other places. If the persons are with faith the experience will still be better. Only those who have no faith may not feel anything in the place. Apart from the positive energy, the places of worships are having codes to be observed. This also adds to the effect.
With all the above facts we get some relief in our tension, stress, anxieties when we go to the places of worship and spend some time there. Of course just by going and coming to and from those places, we may not gain much. We should observe the codes of the places for the full benefit.
