I will be off from FB for two days, as we go to Mookambika in Karnataka. My daughter got First Class for MBBS and we go to thank the Goddess of Learning. Mooka means silent and Mookambika means the Silent Mother, She who can make the dumb speak, Mookam Karothi Vaachalam. Cultural Tourism - Heavens on Earth - Mookambika Temple, Kollur If the Lord is omnipresent, why should one visit temples? Tantra talks about centrallisation of the Almighty Self ! Our ancient forefathers, the Rishies, had unlimited spiritual knowledge and they knew that there places where there is an excessive concentration of Cosmic Energy ! They constructed Temples there, so that we mortals can have a glimpse of Spiritual Grace ! The word temple is derived from the Latin Tempulum, where Law and Justice can be administered ! Positive Energy emanates from persons and places of worship and this can be felt by devotees. Even though Temples and Synagogues represent Exoteric Religion, esoteric and mystic meanings are contained in the Symbolism of such places of worship ! I was struck by the spiritual halo which surrounds the Temple, during my visit there. The Temple is well maintained. It is said that Sankara was told by the Divine Mother not to look back, when He had a vision of Her. At the sound of her anklets, he looked back. Then the Mother Divine told him to install her idol at Mookambika ! More info at keralaheritages/html/culturaltourism6.htm
