| All the mantras
have no literal meaning but they have a pragmatic value and we used to make our children
absorb them at a very early age. They would learn
the use of the temple without ever even being aware of what they had learnt.
They would learn the art of entering the temple, how to sit
there and how to make use of the sacred precincts.
Whenever there was an emergency or any difficulties, people
would run to the temple and then return home having regained a sense of balance and
tranquillity.
