Human body is a mobile temple (moving mandir) because of the presence of God within the body, keeping us active and alive. When you realise and believe in this, you will keep your body in right condition by giving it the right food, adorn with beautiful thilak, and engage in good activities etc. This is what temple architecture also signifies.
While God exists everywhere, He makes Himself available in a temple with a form and a name. This encourages us in keeping the temple premises as clean and as beautiful as possible. At Statue of Equality,Ramanujacharya, a guru who showed us true form of God, is seated high in all glory. The 108 divya desams reflect the wisdom he shared with us.
Therefore, the entire team is working on adorning the structure with exquisite marble work, the exclusive design patterns, the beautiful carved architecture, the colourful artwork and sculpting work. Within this beautiful structure, Swamiji aims to bless the visitors with the essence of Vedic wisdom. This is what we and upcoming generations can truly benefit from, the wisdom of Vedic science as shared by the greatest guru, Sri Ramanujacharya!
