Truly speaking, the Lord is omnipresent. There is not a single place where the Lord does not exist. If you can realize the Lord’s presence everywhere, you need not go to a temple. However, how many of you have such a realization? Hence you must go to a temple. Some ask, “When the Lord is omnipresent, why do you constrain Him to a temple?” We are not binding the Lord’s presence to the sanctum of a temple. We only state that the omnipresent Lord is also present in temple. Can anyone deny that the omnipresent Lord is not in the temple? Of course, you can even worship the Lord where ever you are. But can you focus your mind and worship right here? Hence, in accordance to your spiritual maturity, temples have been consecrated in accordance to the Shastras as places of worship. Hence prayers offered in such places fructify. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal
