About Discovering Temples

Discovering Temples was born from my deeply personal journey – one where ancient temples became a source of healing, strength and transformation. It all began with my curiosity and my ever-questioning mind. I was always fascinated by the ancient architecture of temples – their symmetry, stone carvings, and timeless grace. But as I visited more and more ancient temples, everything changed in my mind and my thinking patterns. My thoughts became calmer, and my perspective on life got deeper. I slowly became less reactive and more observant in my life. Visiting ancient temples completely changed my mind and my life!

After visiting hundreds of ancient temples, I realised one truth – these are not just any old stone structures. They are sacred places that come alive with divine energy, or something supreme that guides us even today. Each temple I visited brought me closer to my soul (Atma) and the divine God (Parmatma). And with this connection, I found the strength to face the challenges of the materialistic world (Maya) with grace and balance. At Discovering Temples, my goal is to take you beyond the stone walls – into the ancient science of temple architecture (Vastu Shastra), the stories carved into their stones (Vastu Kala), and the spiritual practices (Puja, Aarti, Mantras) that open our hearts to something greater than ourselves (God).

Whether you are on a spiritual journey, seeking inner peace, want to transform your life, or are simply curious about the mysteries and meanings behind the ancient temples in India & the world, I invite you on this journey with me…
