Visits to ancient temples like Rameswaram make you question what makes us all different. Why do the rituals and architecture of ancient civilizations differ so much in different parts of the world? What drives these differences?

The Rameswaram Temple
Ramanathaswamy Temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga temples of high significance to Hindus. When I was a student, some RSS friends told me that anyone who is born in India is a Hindu. Because Hindu by their definition was people living by the Indus river. At Rameswaram the intense faith of the people left a mark on me. It is this faith that has kept the temples of India holy for thousands of years. If you share a little of this faith, only then you are Hindu. The place is filled with holy energy. A visit to such a place definitely changes you forever. I did participate in full measure with bathing in Agneetheertham and at the twenty wells inside the temple. It was a very fulfilling, peaceful, and happy experience.

One takes bath at Agneetheertham before heading to the temple to take baths from 22 wells. Definitely an intense spiritual experience.
