“ TEMPLE ” ???????


Whenever we think about a word "TEMPLE", the first thing comes into our mind is " a place where chanting and worship of GOD is done". The 'English meaning' of the word "TEMPLE" is "a building for the worship of god". 
        But is this sacred word "TEMPLE" is confined to this only.

From my point of view "Every sacred place where some 'GOOD/MEANINGFUL' work is happening and the place which gives a good 'MESSAGE' to people is a "TEMPLE".
      
     One such an excellent example is "AKSHARDHAM TEMPLE" in Delhi.
It is a place where the worship of god is done, BUT the main Focus is on "Converting People into a Good Soul......without bothering to which religion or cast they belong".
        
AKSHARDHAM TEMPLE gives the 'MESSAGE' of "NATIONALITY and HUMANITY".
       
It remind us about the great sacrifices of great Indian freedom fighters and great Indian leaders for the nation and also about the ABILITIES of Indian's.
    
AKSHARDHAM TEMPLE gives us the real MESSAGE of GOD i.e.
        " If you SERVE someone WEAK ,you are serving GOD , 
          If you MAKE someone HAPPY ,you are making GOD HAPPY".
     
Therefore every such place like "AKSHARDHAM TEMPLE" which gives both "MEANING and MESSAGE" along with "SPIRITUAL THINGS" signifies the ACTUAL MEANING of word "TEMPLE".
     
So we should broaden our thinking, then we can learn a lot even from this single word "TEMPLE".
