There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape and locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way. Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave path passes through densely. It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or city, or in middle of the dwelling place, or on a hilltop. The essence of visiting a temple is discussed here.
Now, these temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple, known as "*Garbhagriha*" or *Moolasthanam*. In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed. This *Moolasthanam* is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? No, they are not God’s / priests’ flash cards when they forget the *shlokas*. The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it. This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this positive energy. Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy life.
Further, the Sanctum is closed on three sides. This increases the effect of all energies. The lamp that is lit radiates heat energy and also provides light inside the sanctum to the priests or *poojaris* performing the pooja. The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers takes a worshipper into trance, thus not letting his mind waver. When done in groups, this helps people forget personal problems for a while and relieve their stress. The fragrance from the flowers, the burning of camphor give out the chemical energy further aiding in a different good aura. The effect of all these energies is supplemented by the positive energy from the idol, the copper plates and utensils in the *Moolasthan*am / *Garbagraham*. *Theertham*, the “holy” water used during the pooja to wash the idol is not
plain water cleaning the dust off an idol. It is a concoction of Cardamom,*Karpura* (Benzoin), zaffron / saffron, *Tulsi* (Holy Basil), Clove, etc...Washing the idol is to charge the water with the magnetic radiations thus increasing its medicinal values. Three spoons of this holy water is distributed to devotees. Again, this water is mainly a source of magneto-therapy. Besides, the clove essence protects one from tooth decay, the saffron & *Tulsi* leafs protects one from common cold and cough, cardamom and *Pachha Karpuram* (benzoin), act as mouth fresheners. It is proved that *Theertham* is a very good blood purifier, as it is highly energized. Hence it is given as *prasadam* to the devotees. This way, one can claim to remain healthy by regularly visiting the Temples. This is why our elders used to suggest us to offer prayers at the temple so that you will be cured of many ailments. They were not always superstitious. Yes, in a few cases they did go overboard when due to ignorance they hoped many serious diseases could be cured at temples by deities. When people go to a temple for the *Deepaaraadhana*, and when the doors open up, the positive energy gushes out onto the persons who are there. The water that is sprinkled onto the assemblages passes on the energy to all. This also explains why men are not allowed to wear shirts at a few temples and women are requested to wear more ornaments during temple visits. It is through these jewels (metal) that positive energy is absorbed by the women. Also, it is a practice to leave newly purchased jewels at an idol’s feet and then wear them with the idol’s blessings. This act is now justified after reading this article. This act of “seeking divine blessings” before using any new article, like books or pens or automobiles may have stemmed from this through mere observation.
Energy lost in a day’s work is regained through a temple visit and one is refreshed slightly. The positive energy that is spread out in the entire temple and especially around where the main idol is placed, are simply absorbed by one's body and mind. Did you know, every Vaishnava(Vishnu devotees), “must” visit a Vishnu temple twice every day in their location. Our practices are NOT some hard and fast rules framed by 1 man and his followers or God’s words in somebody’s dreams. All the rituals, all the practices are, in reality, well researched, studied and scientifically backed thesis which form the ways of nature to lead a good healthy life.
The scientific and research part of the practices are well camouflaged as “elder’s instructions” or “granny’s teaching’s” which should be obeyed as a mark of respect so as to once again, avoid stress to the mediocre brains. To be continue ....

I had some time on my hand and all this pseudo-scientific babble amused me enough to look up some actual scientific base for their arguments.
1) Abstract terms such as positive and negative energy are used in several places in this article. Scientifically speaking there is no such thing as 'positive' or 'negative' energy.
2) If temples are to be placed where magnetic field lines are abundant, the ideal place to build them would be on the magnetic poles. India being located close to equator, magnetic field lines are less denser here
3) Scientifically baseless assumption that magnetic field creates some arbitrary positive effect on your physiology. If that is your primary aim,there are other pseudo-scientific fields such as Magnetic Therapy which theoretically employ this much more effectively.
4) In copper, magnetic fields generate eddy currents that act to cancel the applied magnetic field. This is called Electromagnetic shielding. If exposing yourself to the the field is your objective, a copper idol would be counterproductive.
5) While application of magnetic field to copper does create electromagnetic radiation. It's effect on human physiology is anything but contentious
a) WHO has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation as a possible Group 2b carcinogen.
b) All frequences of UV range electro mangentic radiation have been classed as Group 1 carcinogens by the WHO
6) The Sanctum is closed on three sides creates less inlets for ventilation and the fact that you have hydrocarbon based luminants burning 24/7 only increases the chances for Carbon monoxide poisoning.
7) Flowers, the burning of camphor while being fragrant is not giving out any abstract chemical energy.On a side note burning Camphor anything over trace amounts can create additional repercussions.
Charging the idol water with the electromagnetic radiations ionizes it. While this may kill off pathogens in it, there is nothing scientific that states that it turns into magic water. This same process is carried out in most new age water filters. You are just essentially drinking cleaner water.
9) This article confuses between physical energy with the more abstract and non-scientific spiritual energy in many places.
a) Assuming that it's the physical energy that you lost throughout the day, exposing yourself to electromagnetic radiation or drinking ionized water isn't going to re-energize what you normally get from diet.
b) Assuming that it's the spiritual energy that you lost throughout the day, I have no clue how physical energy is going to be a substitute for that.
10) On a personal note from an atheists' point of view, I don't understand why they need bring science into the whole equation.Divine spirituality if anything should be independent of such a thing. Doing that also would only open itself to scientific skepticism and scrutiny.
