Temple is like R and D lab for the human society to explore the best that lies dormant in the human
it is like a puja room for the home
here in these the community and the family gets involved fully to give their best in what ever way they like to express, may be art, music ,dance, sculpture, etc
every age has constructed temples with contemporary knowledge, techniques ,means and materials
our IT age has to also, st is its manifestation
so many seekers visiting, contributing, benefitting
st is a temple in the clouds
gods from heaven are blessing all with knowledge, ways, to get deliverance in the most modern style.
like rich temples, with gold silver diamonds, offered to god by devotees,
the new temple is being enriched by all visitors by their treasures of wisdom more valuable than material richness
traditions have found new ways to endure in line with changed times
i feel gratitude, with all reverence, to new temple, and realize my great responsibility to build and preserve pavithratha
and feel the necessity to contribute an iota of my effort , with what ever small the drop of wisdom that i might have gained in my journey of life, simultaneuosly gaining updating of my little knowledge with the torrential downpour from rishis of every level
St the temple, knowledge the god
As human evolves, temples that he constructs also evolve
the more the evolution ,the more the quality of temples.
in the state of ultimate evolution, the temple he constructs will be in his inside, deepest.
and the god therein will be his self,
the self visits the temple, and worships the god his own self
self worshipping itself is the goal of all temples, physical, subtle, unmanifest within.
self blessing self, life is blessed in turn,bringing all glories, material and non material to oneself and to the universe.
the next step after visit to st, the golden temple, is to enter the inner temple, and be with oneself, the ultimate god, one's self
with sweet association here, i would prefer more to be within my inner temple
tukaram says
देह देवाचे मंदिर, आत आत्मा परमेश्वर ॥१॥
जशी उसात हो साखर, तसा देहात हो ईश्वर ।
जसे दुग्धामध 81;ये लोणी, तसा देही चक्रपाणि ॥२॥
देव देहात देहात, का हो जाता देवळात ।
तुका सांगे मूढ जना, देही देव का पहाना ॥३॥
