Interesting & Amazing Facts<br />
Why do we worship the Tulsi Plant Hindu religion has bestowed ‘Tulsi’, with the status of<br />
mother. Also known as ‘Sacred or Holy Basil’, Tulsi, has been recognized as a religious and<br />
spiritual devout in many parts of the world. The vedic sages knew the benefits of Tulsi and that is<br />
why they personified it as a Goddess and gave a clear message to the entire community that it<br />
needs to be taken care of by the people, literate or illiterate. Tulsi has great medicinal properties. It<br />
is a remarkable antibiotic. Taking Tulsi everyday in tea or otherwise increases immunity and helps<br />
prevent diseases, stabilises the drinker’s health condition, balances his or her body system and<br />
most important of all, prolongs his or her life. Keeping a Tulsi plant at home prevents insects and<br />
mosquitoes from entering the house. It is said that snakes do not dare to go near a Tulsi plant.<br />
Maybe that is why ancient people would grow lots of Tulsi near their houses.<br />
Why do we worship Idols Hinduism propagates idol worship more than any other<br />
religion. Researchers say that this was initiated for the purpose of increasing concentration<br />
during prayers. According to psychiatrists, a man will shape his thoughts as per what<br />
he sees. If you have 3 different objects in front of you, your thinking will change according<br />
to the object you are viewing. Similarly, in ancient India, idol worship was established so<br />
that when people view idols it is easy for them to concentrate to gain spiritual energy and<br />
meditate without mental diversion<br />
Why should we visit a <strong>Temple</strong>? <strong>Temple</strong>s are located strategically at a place where the<br />
positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of<br />
north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple, known as<br />
“*Garbhagriha*” or *Moolasthanam*. This *Moolasthanam* is where earth’s magnetic waves<br />
are found to be maximum. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic<br />
scripts, buried beneath the main Idol. What are they really? The copper plate absorbs earth’s<br />
magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple<br />
and walking clockwise around the main idol receives the beamed magnetic waves, and his<br />
body absorbs it. This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this<br />
positive energy. Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy life.
Interesting & Amazing Facts<br />
Joining Both Palms together to Greet - Namaskar In Hindu culture, people greet each other<br />
by joining their palms – termed as “Namaskar.” The general reason behind this tradition is that<br />
greeting by joining both the palms means respect. However, scientifically speaking, joining both<br />
hands ensures joining the tips of all the fingers together which are devoted to the pressure points of<br />
eyes, ears, and mind. Pressing them together is said to activate the pressure points which helps us<br />
remember that person for a long time. And, no germs since we don’t make any physical contact!<br />
Why do Indian Women wear Toe Rings Wearing toe rings is not just the significance of married<br />
women but there is science behind it. Normally toe rings are worn on the second toe. A particular nerve<br />
from the second toe connects the uterus and passes to heart. Wearing toe ring on this finger<br />
strengthens the uterus. It will keep it healthy by regulating the blood flow to it and menstrual cycle will<br />
be regularized. As silver is a good conductor, it also absorbs polar energies from the earth and passes<br />
it to the body.<br />
Applying Tilak/ KumKum on the Forehead On the forehead, between the two eyebrows, is a<br />
spot that is considered as a major nerve point in human body since ancient times. The Tilak is<br />
believed to prevent the loss of “energy”, the red ‘kumkum’ between the eyebrows is said to retain<br />
energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. While applying KumKum<br />
the points on the mid-brow region and Adnya-chakra are automatically pressed. This also facilitates<br />
the blood supply to the face muscles.<br />
Why We Start with Spice & End with Sweet Our ancestors have stressed on the fact<br />
that our meals should be started off with something spicy, and sweet dishes should be taken<br />
towards the end. The significance of this eating practice is that while spicy things activate the<br />
digestive juices and acids and ensure that the digestion process goes on smoothly and efficiently,<br />
sweets or carbohydrates pulls down the digestive process. Hence, sweets were always<br />
recommended to be taken as a last item.
Why you should not sleep with Your Head towards North Myth is that it invites ghosts or<br />
death, but science says that it is because human body has its own magnetic field (also known as<br />
heart’s magnetic field, because of the flow of blood) and Earth is a giant magnet. When we sleep<br />
with our head towards north, our body’s magnetic field becomes completely asymmetrical to the<br />
Earth’s magnetic field. That causes problems related to blood pressure, and our heart needs to<br />
work harder in order to overcome this asymmetry of magnetic fields. Apart from this another reason<br />
is that our body has a significant amount of iron in our blood. When we sleep in this position, iron<br />
from the whole body starts to congregate in brain. This can cause headache, Alzheimer’s disease,<br />
Cognitive Decline, Parkinson disease and brain degeneration.<br />
Surya Namaskar - an important Yoga based ritual Hindus have a<br />
tradition of paying respect to the Sun God (Surya) early in the morning by<br />
a water offering ritual. It was mainly because looking at sun rays through<br />
water or directly at that time of the day is good for eyes, and also by waking<br />
up to follow this routine we become prone to a morning lifestyle, and<br />
mornings are proven to be the most effective part of the day.<br />
Why do we Fast The underlying principle behind fasting is to be found in Ayurveda. This<br />
ancient Indian medical system sees the basic cause of many diseases as the accumulation of<br />
toxic materials in the digestive system. Regular cleansing of toxic materials keeps one healthy.<br />
By fasting, the digestive organs get rest and all body mechanisms are cleansed and corrected.<br />
A complete fast is good for heath, and the occasional intake of warm lemon juice during the<br />
period of fasting prevents the flatulence.<br />
Since the human body, as explained by Ayurveda, is composed of 80% liquid and 20% solid,<br />
like the earth, the gravitational force of the moon affects the fluid contents of the body. It causes<br />
emotional imbalances in the body, making some people tense, irritable and violent. Fasting acts<br />
as antidote, for it lowers the acid content in the body which helps people to retain their sanity.<br />
Research suggests there are major health benefits to caloric restriction like reduced risks of<br />
cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, immune disorders etc.

Sanatan Hindu Rituals & Traditions<br />
Why do Hindus light a lamp?<br />
In almost every Indian home a lamp is lit daily before the altar of the Lord. In some houses it is lit at dawn, in some, twice a day<br />
– at dawn and dusk – and in a few it is maintained continuously. All auspicious functions commence with the lighting of the<br />
lamp, which is often maintained right through the occasion.<br />
Light symbolizes knowledge. Knowledge removes ignorance just as light removes darkness. Also knowledge is a lasting inner<br />
wealth by which all outer achievement can be accomplished. Hence we light the lamp to bow down to knowledge as the<br />
greatest of all forms of wealth.<br />
Why not light a bulb or tube light? That too would remove darkness. But the traditional oil lamp has a further spiritual significance.<br />
The oil or ghee in the lamp symbolizes our vaasanas or negative tendencies and the wick, the ego. When lit by spiritual<br />
knowledge, the vaasanas get slowly exhausted and the ego too finally perishes. The flame of a lamp always burns upwards.<br />
Similarly we should acquire such knowledge as to take us towards higher ideals.<br />
Why do Hindus do Namaste?<br />
Indians greet each other with namaste. The two palms are placed together in front of the chest and the head bows whilst<br />
saying the word “Namaste”. This greeting is for all - people younger than us, of our own age, those older than friends, even<br />
strangers and us.<br />
Namaste could be just a casual or formal greeting, a cultural convention or an act of worship. However there is much more to it<br />
than meets the eye. In Sanskrit namah + te = namaste. It means - I bow to you - my greetings, salutations or prostration to<br />
you. Namaha can also be literally interpreted as "na ma" (not mine).<br />
The real meeting between people is the meeting of their minds. When we greet another, we do so with namaste, which means,<br />
"may our minds meet," indicated by the folded palms placed before the chest. The bowing down of the head is a gracious form<br />
of extending friendship in love and humility.<br />
The spiritual meaning is even deeper. The life force, the divinity, the Self or the Lord in me is the same in all. Recognising this<br />
oneness with the meeting of the palms, we salute with head bowed the Divinity in the person we meet. That is why sometimes,<br />
we close our eyes as we do namaste to a revered person or the Lord – as if to look within. The gesture is often accompanied<br />
by words like "Ram Ram", "Jai Shri Krishna", "Namo Narayana", "Jai Siya Ram", "Om Shanti" etc - indicating the recognition of<br />
this divinity.<br />
Why do Hindus do pradakshina (circumambulate)?<br />
We cannot draw a circle without a centre point. The Lord is the centre, source and essence of our lives. Recognising Him as<br />
the focal point in our lives, we go about doing our daily chores. This is the significance of pradakshina.
Why do Hindus blow the conch (sea shell)?<br />
When the conch is blown, the primordial sound of Om emanates. Om is an auspicious sound that was chanted by the Lord<br />
before creating the world. It represents the world and the Truth behind it. It represents dharma or righteousness that is one of<br />
the four goals (purushaarthas) of life. The sound of the conch is thus also the victory call of good over evil.<br />
Another well-known purpose of blowing the conch and the instruments, known traditionally to produce auspicious sounds is to<br />
drown or mask negative comments or noises that may disturb or upset the atmosphere or the minds of worshippers. Ancient<br />
India lived in her villages. Each village was presided over by a primary temple and several small ones. During the aarti performed<br />
after all-important poojas and on sacred occasions, the conch used to be blown. Since villages were generally small,<br />
the sound of the conch would be heard all over the village. People who could not make it to the temple were reminded to stop<br />
whatever they were doing, at least for a few seconds, and mentally bow to the Lord. The conch sound served to briefly elevate<br />
people's minds to a prayerful attitude even in the middle of their busy daily routine.<br />
Why do Hindus say Shaanti thrice?<br />
Shaanti, meaning "peace", is a natural state of being. Disturbances are created either by others or us.<br />
To invoke peace, Hindus chant prayers. By chanting prayers, troubles end and peace is experienced internally, irrespective of<br />
the external disturbances. All such prayers end by chanting shaanti thrice. It is believed that trivaram satyam - that which is<br />
said thrice comes true. For emphasizing a point we repeat a thing thrice. In the court of law also, one who takes the witness<br />
stands says, "I shall speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth". Shaanti is chanted aloud the first time,<br />
addressing the unseen forces. It is chanted softer the second time, directed to our immediate surroundings and those around,<br />
and softest the last time as it is addressed to oneself.<br />
Why do Hindus offer a coconut?<br />
A coconut is offered on occasions like weddings, festivals, the use of a new vehicle, house etc. It is offered in the sacrificial fire<br />
whilst performing yagna. The coconut is broken and placed before the Lord. It is later distributed as prasaad ( a holy gift).<br />
The marks on the coconut make it look like the head of a human being.<br />
The coconut is broken, symbolising the breaking of the ego. The juice within, representing the inner tendencies, is offered<br />
along with the white kernel - the mind, to the Lord. The coconut also symbolises selfless service. Every part of the tree - the<br />
trunk, leaves, fruit, coir etc. is used in innumerable ways like thatches, mats, tasty dishes, oil, soap etc. It takes in even salty<br />
water from the earth and converts it into sweet nutritive water that is especially beneficial to sick people. It is used in the<br />
preparation of many ayurvedic medicines and in other alternative medicinal systems.
Wembley <strong>Temple</strong> - Construction & Architecture<br />
The architecture of the Shri Sanatan Hindu <strong>Temple</strong> in Wembley has impressed thousands with its dazzling decorative<br />
complexity since its completion in 2010. Its intricately-carved bright sand-coloured walls and domes are established as an<br />
unmistakable landmark on the Ealing Road. Construction of the Shri Sanatan Mandir, like all Hindu <strong>Temple</strong>s, is based on the<br />
scripture of the Shilpa Shastras, which contain design rules, and standards. In this tradition it is laid out on numerical and<br />
geometrical principles based on a grid. The <strong>Temple</strong> is close to square in plan, aligned with its main doors facing to the east.<br />
For the first time visitor the most striking impression is made by numerous intricate forms of carving and moulding which cover<br />
the exterior and interior walls, and also the ceilings and the pillars supporting the domes. The patterns have been derived from<br />
Hindu legends such as the Mahabharata, Ramayana and Shrimad Bhagvatam. Carvings also recognise non-Hindus like<br />
Mother Theresa and Guru Nanakdevji. Each of the 210 pillars depicts a famous event from Hindu Scriptures. Elsewhere on<br />
the stonework, rosettes, feathers and leaves are all-hand-carved. The only unadorned surface is the smooth expanse of<br />
Makrana marble floor.<br />
Many of the component pieces were carved in limestone in the small town of Sola in the state of Gujarat, before being shipped<br />
to UK and assembled. Yellow Jaisalmer limestone is seen on the exterior and pink Bansi Paharpur inside, all stone coming<br />
from Rajasthan, India. The architectural style is described as being in the Northern Indian tradition. No architect’s name is<br />
associated with the <strong>Temple</strong>. There are 11 inner temples and 29 smaller sanctums housing a total of 41 deities. The total<br />
construction area of the Mandir is 20,900 square feet. The <strong>Temple</strong> is 182 ft by 115 ft and is 66 ft at its highest point in the<br />
main Shiker. Shri Sanatan Mandir at Wembley is in a plot which is 2.4 acres. There are 2 domes and the width of each of the<br />
domes is 30 feet across. The big dome with Raas Lila formation has 18 Radha murtis and the small dome has murtis of 18<br />
different sants. There are 3 Shikhers (large Shikher is 66 feet tall and the two small Shikhers are 59 feet tall). There are 8<br />
small Samarans over eight inner temples. There are 2 large Samarans over the domes. There are 426 internal arches under<br />
the beams. There are 34 Zarukhas and 7 Zarukha gates. There are 8 Sinhasans. There are 117 ceilings with 34 different<br />
types of design.<br />
No underlying structural steel frame work was used for the <strong>Temple</strong> and there is not even a single small subsidiary metallic<br />
beam or bolt anywhere. For spiritual reasons iron-based materials are considered inauspicious in Hindu culture. All masonry<br />
is designed to be self load-bearing. Only copper, silver or gold is permitted in construction, and there is indeed gold here at the<br />
highest point of the <strong>Temple</strong>, the gold-plated adornment on the spires properly known as Shikharas. The Shri Sanatan Hindu<br />
Mandir was constructed over 14 years using funds raised by the charity Shri Vallabh Nidhi UK. It opened in the summer of<br />
2010 with the Pran Prathistha ceremony to infuse spirit into the statues. See the website at www.<strong>SVNUK</strong>.org for more details.

Kameshwar Mahadev <strong>Temple</strong> Wembley
Shiv Puja - Reason of pouring milk on Shiv Lingam<br />
Cow milk is a good conductor of positive energy. When a devotee visits a Shiva temple and offers<br />
cow milk to the Shiv Ling he is actually ensuring that the positive energy that surrounds the Shiv ling<br />
flows into his or her body. During this ritual the devotee must loudly chant the mantra “Om Namah<br />
Shivay”. This will make the devotee strong mentally, physically as well as emotionally.<br />
If we try to understand how this ritual started we have to go back to the incident of samudra manthan.<br />
In battles between Devas (Gods) and Asuras (demons), the Devas were defeated and Asuras gained control of the universe.<br />
Devas sought help from the god Vishnu who advised them to obtain the nectar of immortality by churning the ocean. The<br />
Samudra Manthan process released a number of things from the ocean. One product was the lethal poison known as Halahal.<br />
The poison was so deadly that it could destroy the whole universe.<br />
To stop it Lord Shiva decided to drink the poison. His wife Parvati ensured that this poison stops at the throat of Lord Shiva<br />
and does not enter any other part of his body. Many snakes who were close to Lord Shiva also consumed a little of this poison<br />
and they became more poisonous.<br />
After the manthan the devtas decided that they should thank lord Shiva for the help so they did the first abhishek and since<br />
then it has become a ritual to pour milk on Shiv Lingam and ask Lord Shiva for his blessings. After that many kings were also<br />
seen doing the same. Lord Rama did the same before his battle with Ravan.<br />
Keeping it cool<br />
Another concept is that Lord Shiva was a very short tempered God and when his third eye opened he could set everything on<br />
fire. The day lord Shiva gets angry it can mean the end of the universe. By constantly pouring milk on the Shiv ling the<br />
devotees ensure that his head is kept cool.<br />
Mahamantra “ ॐ नमः शिवाय - Om Namah Shivay"<br />
ॐ नमः शिवाय means “I bow to Shiva.” Shiva is the supreme reality, the inner Self. It is the consciousness that dwells in all. This<br />
mantra is free of all limitations. This mahamantra should be recited minimum 5, 11 or 108 times – there is no restriction to the<br />
number of recitations. Om Namah Shivay mantra is respectfully recited by Yogis and devotees in prayers and meditation. The<br />
powerful healing mantra ॐ नमः शिवाय is beneficial in treatment of all physical and mental ailments. Soulful recitation of this<br />
mantra brings peace to the heart and joy to the (Soul).
