Encyclopedia of Select Temples

Temples have been constructed by sages, kings and people to serve as a channel where one can experience the divinity that has been consecrated. When our phone batteries lose charge they go out-this requires us to charge them by connecting them to a source of power. They are then back in action. Our lives in today's world and our karma makes us also lose our aim, mood or in other words our "battery" goes out. Temples and mantras then serve as the sources of power-in this case what we call as Shakti that can be seen as Ganesha or Shiva or Devi or Vishnu or Hanuman. Such temples also are centers of art, culture and economic growth sustaining the material and spiritual life of people. This book would be a compilation of sacred geometries and temple centers-a brief snapshot of the architecture, history and science of the spots. The temples will be given as per the directions: north, south, east and west with the temples grouped under each direction. The aim is to enable any seeker/traveler to gain access to select well-known and relatively lesser-known temples in India along with valid pointers. This will be the first such book presenting this data in this format.
