    4. Temples, not a place of prayer

    Temples, Not a Place of Prayer

    Sadhguru explains the science behind temple-building in India. In ancient times, temples were built as energy centers which reverberated with a powerful field of energy and were not intended as places of prayer. It was customary for people to visit the temples in the morning and spend some time there so that they may imbibe the energy before they go about their day. This was seen as a necessary preparation for a person to maintain a pleasant atmosphere within themselves throughout the day.

    Kashi - The Eternal City
    Kashi, “the City of Light” is said to be more than 15,000 years old – the oldest inhabited city in the world. Home to 33 million gods and goddesses, this magnificent city was the beloved abode of Adiyogi Shiva and his wife Parvati, soon after their marriage. The Adiyogi himself established a powerful mandala (a sacred circular geometric pattern) of the city, by consecrating 108 shrines with unique qualities in a certain pattern – which continues to live even today.
