The Hindu Temple v1.c8.s1.t2.26

v1.c8.s1.t2.26

The temple, Prāsāda, is the symbolic substance, which, as a substratum, corresponds to the principial substance and immanent cause (upādānakāraṇa), Nāda, the principial vibration. From Nāda, the principial vibration, the world is made. This is shown by the rhythmical plan and structure of the Prāsāda. Such is the meaning of Prāsāda, the most generally employed name for the Hindu temple. It denotes especially the structural pile below, around and above the sanctuary (garbhagṛha).
