I do appreciate your view point Rihana. You can do what you wish to, if you have no qualms about what you are doing))

I appreciate your viewpoint Rihana.
If you have no qualms about what you are doing, it is fine

With due respect to you @Jeeves ma'am,
it is not true. I could not find aby information stating in NASA's web portal.

Satellites travel at tremendous speeds and any hurdle its way would only ricochet the vehicle off its orbit; the satellite would either fall down to Earth or spin off into space oblivion.

Also, if it affects satellites, should it also not affect airplanes, and birds flying over the region?

Second, the Hubble images you mention is Saturn's North pole which is hexagon in shape. However, many yantras in many other temples are also hexagons. So nothing unique about it.

Thank you Krish for the explanation here
I am merely placing here what the temple authorities told me and showed me regarding NASA

Isn't that a paradox? If we want our women to believe in superstitious wisdom, then we should not educate them in sciences or medicine or engineering. If we educate them, then they would turn into inquiring minds like Jayasala and discover the truth and debunk the malarkey. Why educate them, instead inculcate fear and tremble and let them grow up as simple-minded juggins to be deceived by charlatans and sold off taabeez and plenary indulgences to prevent satellites from falling on their heads because they are not pious enough. In my childhood, I heard the story of a naive chicken scared of the falling sky. I never imagined that few decades on, I would be treated to a modern adaptation of satellites malfunctioning over our heads because we haven't paid due homage to a petulant artefact.

Jeeves, I do honour your opinion. My post is my anguish at the fallout from our grade-oriented education system. I am only beginning to realise the extent now through social media.

To anyone reading this: please ensure that your kids grasp basic physics and maths. They don't even need doctoral courses to study the natural forces, just ensure that they don't hurriedly commit to memory rather imbibe the foundation principles in physics. Sit with them, and tutor them, and question them, 'those babas when they pull out red lemons, what chemical reaction is it'. From an early age, fascinate them with the writings of Feynman, Sagan, Zimmer, Greene, Bryson, Sacks and the like. They are animated writers explaining in lay terms the honest-to-goodness wonders of the natural world. Please, do it. We need more common sense than doctoral degrees to examine the natural world around us.

Madam Iravati
I have written here nothing about Babas or charlatans here nor have I asked anyone to follow these people.
I HAVE JUST TALKED ABOUT GRANITES AND THEIR PROPERTIES.
If you wish to believe, please do so. If you don't it is fine !

@Jeeves
Yes ma'am, out there are numerous spurious pseudo science claims mentioning NASA to make them sound authentic.

... Little by little, our beliefs many of which were considered superstitions, are being scientifically proved. Hence, it is better not to bring gender equality in sensitive matters like this and leave things as they are.)))))))))))))))))))))))

Can you please provide a link or reference to power manifestation being proved by NASA?

What temple authorities tell and show regarding NASA and matter printed in a religious magazine does not in any way mean 'scientifically proven.'

There is nothing wrong in trying to show that ancient practices have some logic or science behind them. We have had many threads too where the possible science behind religious practices was discussed at depth for pages. But 'proven by NASA' label is a different thing. It needs formal evidence or a graceful retraction of the claim.

@Rihana,

I was always worried I was living too close to the launching station of NASA and any malfunction could result in the space shuttle landing in our backyard. It gives me a lot of comfort to see many are very appreciative of the scientists in NASA as though they are demi-gods. I have interacted with many who developed programs for docking the space shuttle into the space station. They explained how those development efforts were flawed several times before implementation.The real question I have is even if NASA scientists were to agree that Satellites do malfunction when they cross Thirunallar, will it make the claim more authentic? They are humans too and are bound to make mistakes. When a spacecraft's pieces fell scattered in various states with live astronauts, our heart broke. There are several claims including pinpointing the time the Adam's bridge was built (thrrough satellite images), the oceanographic study of sunk Dwaraka, etc. from scientists. They are inconclusive. I read them for educational/ entertainment value. I study the epics for it's value and not for it's authenticity. Similarly, I read Jeeves post for the information about ancient architecture and study of properties of granite stones. Let us not prosecute @Jeeves for submitting her opinion even if there are apparent errors. After all, this post is not a dissertation that she needs to defend. There is no need for her to retract anything she said in her posts as someone like Kamala has already published a correction with reasons. Take it easy.

@Viswamitra, I usually do not respond to posts that talk about demi-gods of NASA or suggest that I "take it easy", but this is from you, so. OP has called Iravati's responses as sick, bombastic, and much more, and also commented very negatively about IL and ILites (people spewing venom, land of the ignorant and much more), and given lots of gyan about how such discussions should be conducted. My response was to nominate Iravati's posts for FP and to give some gyan here about scientific proof.
