A Brahmasthanam Temple is distinguished by an unique \u201cPratistha\u201d with images of Lord Siva, Devi, Ganapati, Serpent (representing Muruga and Rahu) sculpted on the four sides of a single granite stone. This is symbolic, \u00a0the concept of unity, that \u00a0Brahman is the basis behind all forms of divine manifestations.<br \/>\nAt Brahmasthanam Temples, devotees themselves perform \u201cGraha Dosha Nivarana Pujas.\u201d This worship mitigates adverse influences of malefic planets on living beings on earth, and restores peace, harmony and prosperity.<br \/>\nThese Brahmasthanam temples, which emphasize on self participatory pujas are open to one and all, regardless of religion, caste and race. A Brahmasthanam Temple is a perennial source of spiritual ambrosia which helps, guides and fulfills the thirst of material and spiritual seekers of the present as well as for all ages to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Your heart is the real temple. It is there that you must install God. Good thoughts are the flowers to be offered to him. Good actions are worship. Good words are hymns.
