Guest guest Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Dear Sir/Madam, Are the temples really centres of Divine Power that reinforce and refresh human life? This question often rises in the modern mind. The knowledge of the well-coordinated science involved in temples convinces everyone about their efficacy to relieve mental tensions, ailments and help tap the life-reinforcing Powers within. Power in Temples – A Modern Perspective by Srikant, a well-read book, gives in-depth information on temples with a scientific orientation. The updated 7th edition of the book is available now. The Hindu daily in a review (June 16, 1987) of its fourth edition observes: “The book by an author whose erudition is quite obvious and matched only by his abundant passion for Hindu thought, encompasses a much wider canvas than the title would suggest….The author provides scintillating fare on the subtle nexus that exists between the Creator, Cosmos and Man….The explanation of the interlocking symbolism is very beautiful….Temple worship could not have been better defended, if defense indeed was necessary….A book lucidly written and rich in contents.” Indian Express (July 29, 1987) : “The significance of temples is so well presented that anyone who visits a temple after reading the book will have new perceptions…. The printing and getup are excellent and the reader will greatly benefit in knowledge and faith by reading it.” On its fifth edition (June 2002), Dr. G.V. Raghu, President, The Hindu Temples, Atlanta, U.S.A., writes : “I convey my appreciation of the book Power in Temples – A Modern Perspective. Most of us attend temples with great faith and devotion but understand very little of the well-coordinated science and significance behind temple construction, consecration of Deities, ceremonies, etc. Your book gives guidance and scientific explanation for many of our questions. The book reinforces faith in the efficacy of temple worship and its relevance in alleviating the tensions and problems of modern life. I strongly recommend this book to temple worshippers, skeptics and temple administrators.” The Updated Seventh Edition (January 2007): size: demy octavo; pages:240; colour illustrations: 53, B & W: 47 Price abroad: US$ 18.00 or equivalent.
