Question:
What
is the principle behind the ‘Satari’ held over the
heads of devotees in Vaishnavite temples?
Sage TGN:
If you are trained in Meditation,
you would know that when you go from Turiyam-stage to
Turiyatheetham, the bio-energy would form a conical
shape over the crown of your head. The satari would
bring this about instantaneously. This is because it has been charged with
energy in the sanctum sanctorum through appropriate incantations. Note that the
satari itself is conical in form. These yogic
practices, although peripheral in nature, have their own benefits.
That a pyramid-structure could hold energy was realised in the orient thousands of years ago. That is why
the towers or spires of places of worship — temple, mosque or church — are
distinctly conical.
In our country, sages had also discovered that while stone
stores energy, metal conducts and transmits it. Hence it is that the idol in
the sanctum is of stone whereas the idol taken out in procession on
festival-days is of metal. Any temple is an energy-bank with the sanctum as the
centre; and moveable metal idols in the vicinity play
the role of accumulators and conduits to devotees outside.
