The temple is an abode of God, meaning, it embodies the actual existence of God. By going to a temple our wishes are accepted by God and we experience mental peace. It is with this faith that devotees visit a temple. It is said that God yearns for bhay. It does not matter in which way the devotee (who has bhav) has darshan, he will still experience God's grace. However, an ordinary devotee does not have enough bhav and hence, it is imperative that he has darshan of the Deity in a spiritually correct manner. When a lamp is lit, soot collects on the glass encasing it. Only when this soot is cleaned, does the bright light of the lamp spread all around. Likewise, before the actual darshan of the Deity, the soot-like covering of Raja-Tama components around the individual has to be eliminated and bhav awakened within, so as to fully avail of the benefit of Chaitanya and grace of the Deity. Information on how this can be achieved through the spiritually correct method of having darshan of a Deity, is given in this Spiritual text. Not only are the correct acts described, but the related subtle-level spiritual science too is mentioned. This will help devotees develop faith in the acts to be performed before having darshan of the Deity, and simultaneously, their faith in the Scriptures will grow as well. If by reading this Spiritual text, an individual has darshan of a Deity according to spiritual science, and if in turn he creates awareness about this amongst people, it will be the true accomplishment of this Spiritual text. We pray at the Holy feet of Shri Guru that this may happen. Answers to various questions are based on spiritual science. Questions such as why should we enter a temple only after washing our feet, how should we pray while having darshan of the Deity, why and how should pradakshina be performed around the Deity and for how many times, etc., are provided in this Spiritual text.
