Dear readers,

In this article we present a very interesting topic to you. The topic can be described as 'colourful', in one word!! yes, its something very different from the topics on which the articles were based so far.

One thing which people nowadays are opposed to is the habit of going to a temple and worshipping God. They have an opinion that going to a temple and worshipping God is not the right way of worship. Such people think that idol worship should not be practised and that its of no use to have blind belief in an idol. But dear readers, if such a method has been prescribed in the evergreen 'Hinduism' then surely there has to be a strong, valid and logical reason behind the same. So lets take you to the world of colours and explain the significance of worshipping the idols in a temple.

As we normally do, first we will give you the scientific reason behind the practice and then the spiritual aspect of the same.

IDOLS- DARK COLOUR

Inside a temple, the idols of God are usually black in colour. Why was the colour 'black' chosen? You may think that why of all colours black? a colour which is less popular especially when there are such nice colours like pink, green, blue etc? But then, there exists a very important reason for the same.

In the colour spectrum, one can see that there are 7 colours. It is represented as VIBGYOR viz Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red. In the colour spectrum Violet starts from the lower end and the Red colour occupies the highest position as per the emnating light radiation frequency.

The other two colours, which constitute our life are White and Black. According to theories of light radiation, white and black does not constitute any specific colour among 7 colours namely VIBGYOR.

A light wave hitting at an object can have one among the seven colours of VIBGYOR. When a light wave hits an object, the object absorbs some light radiations and the object reflects back some light radiations. Those light radiations which gets reflected to space, gives the colour to the object.

For e.g., when a light wave hits an object and if the object absorbs 6 colours among VIBGYOR and if it reflects only V=violet colour means, then the object will appear violet to the external eye. The same theory goes well with the remaining theory too.

Supposing, if an object reflects all the incoming light radiations means, i.e. if the object reflects all the 7 colours of VIBGYOR means then the object will appear WHITE coloured to the external eyes.

Supposing if the object absorbs all the incoming light radiations means, i.e. if the object absorbs all the 7 colours of VIBGYOR means then the object will appear (DARK) BLACK coloured to the external eyes.

WHITE= Reflection of all rays.

BLACK= Absorbing of all rays.


Using these scientific facts to an advantage its possible to reap a lot of benefits by worhipping an idol in a temple. How, u ask? Wait for our next issue for the answer!!!
