Why do we go to temple ?

Dear Chitvish mam,
I have become an active member only today, though I have registered longtime ago, since I didnt complete activation, I couldnt reply or participate in any of the threads. However I have read many of your threads and found that to be quite enlightening . I was so impressed that today after completing the activation, I just searched for your threads and started writing to you. In fact I called my 13 year old daughter and read her aloud this particular explanation on going to temple.

Hats off to you mam, pl keep up the good work

Regards

Radhika

Dear Chitra Mami,

Sorry for the late stepping in but better late than never. I was just going thru all the posts. I simply adore your way of answering with patience.:bowdown

These days we hardly have any time to wait for anything / anyone. We try to go to the temple on special occassions like b'days and anniversaries and rest of the days it all depends. Whenever we find leisure time we just think of going for shopping / going around with friends..and least think about going to the temples.

I've seen a few of friends who go to temples on compulsion.Why does anyone require to suggest / compel us to visit the temples.

From lighting a lamp and doing the pooja in a specific pattern has some significance. Many a times we keep questioning our elders as to why certian things needs to be done at specific timings..Most of the time our quesitons are left unanswered and so we dont give importance to such things. Once we get to know the significance of it we can offer our prayers whole heartedly.
