Guest guest Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 All, I wanted to share a video that I saw on youtube on Agamas and temples. The knowledge of the person on temples and temple rituals is probably the best I have ever seen so far. The first part is in the following link.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3afZv4SXbE The speaker talks about several temples in south India and about how temples were originally constructed. He talks about reasons why temples were constructed, the agama practice followed, different kinds of prathista like raja, rishi, devata pratishta and so on.. He also describes how a deity is invoked, what promises made to it during the time of construction of the temple, etc..It would be useful to have feedback from members of the group (including Shri. Narasimhaji) on some of the things he says about invoking deities...Sriram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
