Revival of Hindu Temples and Cultural Heritage🔗

At the heart of the Vedic tradition and Hindu life is the sacred tradition of Hindu temples, the Cosmic Energy centers where the Divine resides in the beautiful form of deities. Any human settlement in Vedic civilization has flourished around temples, making Hinduism a temple-based civilization of celebratory traditions. Temples have also been the education and cultural centers where one learns and practices the highest ideals of life and has Satsanga, the truthful association with an evolved, devoted community. Temple rituals are processes to invoke and radiate different Divine energies within and without.

The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam has established Hindu temples all over the world based on the pure Agama Sciences and rituals; inspiring millions of people to live, learn and benefit from the rich fulfilling Vedic tradition. More temples are needed to enrich human need to directly connect and commune with the Divine and to serve the urgent planetary need for positive peaceful energy centers.

Each temple is a powerful energy circuit created by a Superconscious Being and retains that pure energy for several thousands of years. The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam has brought down enormous Cosmic Energy and stored them in all established temples to radiate it to the whole planet, for mankind to experience the ultimate peace, healing, fulfillment of desires, also to radiate unique powers and powerful truths.

In Hinduism, there is no idol worship. Worship happens “through” the idols. Everything, from education, architecture, lifestyle, or celebrations is based on temple traditions. By overflowing devotion (bhakti) onto the living deity in the personal form or “Archavatar” of pure consciousness, the oneness (Advaita) with the Divine is experienced.

Worship (Pujas, Homas, and Meditations) - Employing powerful mass worship as a means to realizing collective peace and harmony. Young monks of the Nithyananda Order conduct mass fire rituals involving the public thereby creating profound healing energy for a peaceful mind and healthy body in those living in the surrounding areas.

Globally, temples are best known for their modes of worship (pujas, Homas, and various meditations). Employing powerful mass worship as a means to realizing collective peace and harmony is one of the core components of the temple infrastructure.

Simply by its nearness, inhabitants, and passersby of the ecosystem reap its benefits. This effect of group meditation has been thoroughly studied and tested and has been statistically proven to reduce the violence and crime rates in its surrounding area.⁴²¹
