The scientific explanation for visiting temple regularly:
There are hundreds of temples all over India in different size, shape and locations but not all of them are considered to be in the Vedic way.
Generally, the temples are located in a place where earth's magnetic waves pass through. In simple terms, these temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic wave distribution of north/ south pole thrust.Because of its location, where high magnetic values are available, the Main Idol is placed in the center, and also because they place a copper plate written with some Vedic scripts, which is buried, beneath the Main Idol's placement known as "Garbhagriha" or Moolasthan, the copper absorbs the earths magnetic waves and radiates to the surroundings. Thus a person who regularly visits a temple and makes clockwise pradakshina of the Main Idol's placement, automatically receives the beamed magnetic waves which get absorbed by his body. This is very slow and a regular visit will make him absorb more energy, known as positive energy. In addition, the Sanctum Sanctorum is completely enclosed on three sides. The effect of all energies is very high in here. The lamp that is lit radiates the heat and light energy.
The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers gives sound energy. The fragrance from the flowers, the burning of camphor give out chemical energy. The effect of all these energies is activated by the positive energy that comes out of the idol. This is in addition to the north/south pole magnetic energy that is absorbed by the copper plate and utensils that are kept in the Moolasthan.
The water used for the Pooja is mixed with Cardamom, Benzoine, Holy Basil (Tulsi), Clove, etc is the "Theertham". This water becomes more energized because it receives the positive-ness of all these energies combined. When persons go to the temple for Deepaaraadhana, and when the doors open up, the positive energy gushes out onto the persons who are there. The water that is sprinkled onto the people passes on the energy to all. That is the reason why, men are not allowed to wear shirts to the temple and ladies have to wear more ornaments because it is through these jewels (metal) that positive energy is absorbed in ladies. It is proved that Theertham is a very good blood purifier, as it is highly energized.
In addition, temples offer holy water (about three spoons). This water is mainly a source of magneto therapy as they place the copper water vessel at the Garbhagriha. It also contains cardamom, clove, saffron, etc to add taste and Tulsi (holy Basil) leaves are put into the water to increase its medicinal value! The clove essence protects one from tooth decay, the saffron & Tulsi leave essence protects one from common cold and cough, cardamom and benzoine known as Pachha Karpuram, acts as a mouth refreshing agents. This way, one's health too is protected, by regularly visiting Temples!!!...

AVS Sir,
You have answered most of my doubts which were lingering in my mind from my childhood days...
The present generation wants answers to all the questions else they will not follow.. The older generation didnot want any reasons to follow.. they just blindly follow the foot steps of their parents...
Now, to the younger generation..you tell them why it has to be done the way it should be and they simply do it... Reasoning is the essential part and you have given me all the answers...
I'll definitely start going to temple everyday from now on.. not that I've got Bhakthi on God.. not that I've got belief in God...!!!
Thank you for such a nice posting..

Dear Shri AVS and Shri Jeevarathnam,
Very good postings to foster inner peace.
Very timely, as much of our routine pursuit is towards material pleasures,
leaving very little time for soul searching.
May I make a few more small additions based on my limited knowledge.
Agamas specifiy how a temple is to be built.
The land to build a temple is carefully chosen - a fertile land , A ghoshala ( place where cows live) etc.
Acharya's specify the number and type of poojas and utsavas to be performed.
Bhaktas (Devotees) enhance the sanctity by their visits and prayers.
The combined efforts of Achrayas and Bhaktas increase the divinity.

A very nice & informative piece AVS.
Taking the liberty to go a bit further/deeper, the various aspects vis-a-vis enhancing the energy levels in temples isn't limited to just temples. It's MORE TO DO with the Spiritual nature of such constructions/buildings/structures--it's just a coincidence that since Hindu temples have been in existence & MORE IMPORTANTLY preserved much more systematically than those of any other religion that we focus on Hindu Temples whenever such topics get discussed. The Vatican, Mecca, Lady of Lourds, Ajmer Darga, Jerusalem, etc, etc are all examples of such Energy Centers/Vortexes--so to say.
To elaborate what you mentioned--'........they place a copper plate written with some Vedic scripts, which is buried, beneath the Main Idol's placement....', the scripts are essentially called 'Beeja mantras' or 'seed mantras' that's particular to the specific Idol being installed [for eg., 'GAM' for Ganesh, 'DUM' for Durga, 'SREEM' for Maha Lakshmi, etc], which enhance the efficacy of the energy level of the Main Idol over & above the enhancement due to the use copper plate.
Quite often gold plates have also been used since it has a higher capacity to absorb the energy levels than copper [typical conductivity & resistivity] & more importantly resistant to the vagaries of nature [far less corrosive].
Another aspect that's kept in mind during this process is to ensure ONLY a person of very high spiritual nature/level is entrusted with the task of installing the Main Idol.....not counting the many 'Swayambhu' Idols/Energy Vortexes like those @ Tirupati, Srisailam, Shirdi, Madhurai, etc.........since only such persons are believed to be capable of handling the extremely high energy levels [an analogy would be the result of a kid driving a nail into a wall & an adult doing the same task]. The reason why Swamis/Sadhus are called for the initiation ceremonies of any temple even today.
If one looks around us, it can be comfortably said that one of the primary causes of the temples that have now become decrepit [meaning ineligible for Pujas] COULD be the result of the lack/absence of such adherence to Rules in the installation procedures of the Main Idols—notable examples would be the Konark Temple, the massive & unique Vishnu temples in Cambodia & Indonesia, etc.
I can’t help but remark on the comments of Bharghavi—‘The present generation wants answers to all the questions else they will not follow.. The older generation didnot want any reasons to follow.. they just blindly follow the foot steps of their parents...’.
Frankly, I think she has missed-out the larger picture. The older generation DIDN’T follow “blindly’—they followed just because of the ‘Faith’ they had in what the elders said/did & the elders too kept their part of the relationship—they practiced what they preached AND more importantly, they also shared why they did what they did, unlike the present-day generation of elders.
Like the Quote goes: Faith is climbing the First Step in the staircase without knowing where the last step leads to.
Today’s child is bound to become tomorrow’s elder….so to say. Maybe our generation can try to turn the clock back a bit, for a good cause.
With the risk of being ridiculed/laughed-at, one can comfortably say that the British rule did play a major part in this decadence of the spiritual angle to the day-to-day living of Indians [all religions included], despite the very positive role they played in the industrialization of modern India.
