Why do Hindu people go to church?
It is a matter of choice. There is no such rule in Hinduism that forces people to go to temple. But, temples by and large have a lot of positive energy in its atmosphere, because of the constant chanting of prayers and poojas being performed. Hence, a lot of people find a certain sense of peace when they are temples, which they don't sense when they are home.

Please go to Shiva temple for every Pradhosham and live in His grace blissfully. shivAya namah Om bhavAya namaH | bhavAya namah Om namaH shivAya How to perform somasutra pradakshinam during pradosham First saluting the Rishabha Devar (Holy Bull or Nandi) go anti-clockwise and salute Chandishwarar (not crossing the Gomukhi). Now return in the clockwise manner salute Rishabham and continue clockwise till the Gomukhi (not to cross it again). Then return in anti-clockwise direction salute the Rishabham again and proceed towards chaNdIshar. From there return back clockwise without worshiping Rishabham and reach the gomukhi. Finally return back anticlockwise from there to salute Rishabham and continue to Chandishwarar and return back to Rishabham and worship the shiva lingam (at the altar) by viewing through the space between the two horns of the Holy Bull. This is one Pradakshinam. Three such times Pradakshinam to be done. If you carefully observe the curve traced by doing the pradakshinam is very similar to the periphery of the crescent. Hence this way of circumambulating is called Somasutra Pradakshinam. Abhishekam Shiva Abhishekam is usually performed to a Lingam representing his manifestation as a creator of good (by destroying evil). In many temples, one finds a vessel hung over the Lingam, that continuously drips water or other offerings onto the Lingam in deference to Shiva's desire for Abhisheka. Some of the common items used for Shiva Abhisheka are 1. Curd 2. Milk 3. Honey 4. Tender Coconut Water 5. Vibhuti (holy ash) 6. Panchamruta (Curd based delicacy consisting of Panch(5) items: Milk, Sugar, Ghee (clarified butter), Honey, Bananas) 7. Bananas 8. Sandalwood Paste 9. Ghee (Clarified butter) Since Shiva is said to wear Nageshwara (Snake God) as an ornament around his neck, it is said that the fragrance of Aloe (which attracts snakes) is also a very holy item to be used for the worship of Shiva. In contrast, it said that Lord Vishnu is Alankara Priyar (Desirous of ornamentation). Hence Vishnu Sthalas (places of worship of Lord Vishnu) have elaborately carved idols of Lord Vishnu with the alankaram (decoration ceremony) post the abhishekam, being a very elaborate ritual. In any discussion of Hinduism, it is important to remember that these rituals are an off shoot of the interpretation of Vedas, the holy text of Hindus. These texts by themselves do not outline the deities or rituals for their worship thereof.

Evidance Chhatrapati Shivaji was Sisodia Rajput?
Gaga Bhatt presented a genealogy declaring that Shivaji's ancestors were Kshatriyas descended from the solar line of the Rajput Ranas of Mewar.[2] Shivaji had insisted on an Indrabhishek ritual, which had fallen into disuse since the 9th century. He was given the title Kshatriya Kulavantas Sinhasanadheeshwar Chhatrapati Shivaji Mahārāj by Gaga Bhatt. He was bestowed with the Zaanva (or Janeu, the sacred thread), with the Vedas and was bathed in an abhisheka. Shivaji was formally crowned Chhatrapati ("Chhatrapati= Chief, head or King of Kshatriyas", representing the protection he bestowed on his people) on 6 June 1674 at the Raigad fort.Chhatrapati ("Chhatrapati= Chief, head or King of Kshatriyas") Shivaji Maharaj, representing the protection he bestowed on his people) on June 6, 1674 at the Raigad fort, and given the title Kshatriya Kulavantas Sinhasanadheeshwar Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Pandit Ganga Bhatt, a renown Brahmin from Varanasi, officially presided over the ceremony declaring that Shivaji's ancestor's were truly Kshatriyas who descended from the solar line of the Ranas of Mewar. The actual date of Shivaji's birth was under controversy but now settled on date as 19 February 1627. Shivaji's grandfather Maloji Bhonsle claimed descent from the Sisodia clan of Rajputs.Chhatrapati ("Chhatrapati= Chief, head or King of Kshatriyas") Shivaji Maharaj, representing the protection he bestowed on his people) on June 6, 1674 at the Raigad fort, and given the title Kshatriya Kulavantas Sinhasanadheeshwar Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

The actual date of Shivaji's birth was under controversy but now settled on date as 19 February 1627. Shivaji's grandfather Maloji Bhonsle claimed descent from the Sisodia clan of Rajputs.the theory of historians such as Sir Jadunath Sarkar and Justice MG Ranade that Shivaji was from low caste and his Rajput origin was fabricated only for his coronation.[42]. On the other hand Historians such as Rao Bahadur GS Sardesai, CV Vaidya, Rao Bahadur Parasnis support Shivaji Rajput origin.[43]. Contemporary poet of Shivaji Bhushan who wrote Shivabhushan mentions that Bhosles and their cousins Ghorpade are Sisodia Rajputs. Dr Balkrishna and DV Apte however in 1930s came out with Persian Documents pertaining to Bahamani and Adil Shahi Sultans which supported the Sisodia Rajput origin of Bhosles and Ghorpades. The Persian Farmans given to the ancestors of Bhosle and Ghorpade showed common ancestry of the two royal Maratha families from Sisodia Rajput Rana Sajjan Sinha who was disinherited by his father. [47]. The Persian Farmans have showed an unbroken lineage of Bhosle and Ghorpade which decisively proves that Shivaji claim of Him being Sisodia Rajput was not a mere fabrication as some British and later Indian Historians have tried to portray him.[48]. On the other hand Later sources such as 91 Qalmi Bakhar(composed in 1760s), Shivadigvijaya Bakhar(composed in 1818) and Shedgaonkar Bakhar(composed in 1854) turn the tables and claim a Low Origin of Shivaji. However many Historians dont consider these late works as Historically important as Col James Tod who wrote History of Rajputana in 1820 was a book written only 2 years after Shivadigvijaya and much earlier that Shedgaonkar Bakhar. [49]The claim that the Bhosales are a branch of the Sisodia Rajputs can be found in the firmans of Ghorpades of Mudhol in Karnataka.According to the Ghorpade family tree, the Bhosales and they aredescendants of a Sisodia warrior. Some of the historical accounts stating that Shahaji and Shivaji were of Rajput descent include:§ In 1674, Pandit Ganga Bhatt of Varanasi presented a genealogy tracing Shivaji's ancestry to the Suryavanshi Kshatriya Sisodia of Mewar.[4]§ In 1726 when Maratha armies began to make incursions into the Rajput territories, Raja Chhatrapati Shahu in a letter dated 1726 ordered his generals not to touch the Sisodia territory of pippila state in mewar as well as the other states in Rajputana which belonged to Sisodia telling them that only did the Rawat of Piplia and the Sisodia belong to the same family as that of the Rulers of Satara(Bhosle) but it was mainly due to the courage and sacrifices made by Sisodia such as Rana Hammir, Maharana Kumbha, Maharana Sanga and Maharana Pratap that Hindu Raj was preserved in India till a certain extent.§ Radha Madhava Vilasa Champu of poet Jayarama (written in the court of Shahaji at Banglur, 1654) describes the Bhonsles as the descendants from the Sisodias of Chittor. Jayaramas poetry was composed much before Shivajis coronation. In a poem on Shahaji, Jayarama mentions that Shahaji was descended from Dalip (or Dilip Singh) born in the family of the Rana who was the foremost among all kings of the earth. This Dalip was a grandson of Lakshmanasen, Rana of Chittor, who came to the throne in 1303 CE.§ Shivabharata of Paramananda mentions that Shivaji and Shahji are of the Ikshvaku lineage like the Sisodiyas.§ Parnalaparvata Grahanakhyana states that Shivaji is a Sisodia§ Bhushan the Hindi poet speaks of the Bhosales being Rajput§ Shahji in his letter to the Sultan Adilshah states he is a Rajput[5]§ The Mughal historian Khafi Khan describes Shivaji as a descendant of the Ranas of Chittor. Khafi Khan was a very harsh critic of Shivaji, and wrote accounts condemning Shivaji to hell. He claimed that though Shivaji's ancestors did come from the family of Ranas of Chittor, they descended through an illegitimate offspring Dilip Singh.§ Sabhasad Bakhar composed by Shivaji Minister Krishna Bhaskhar in 1694 refers to Bhosle as a Solar Dynasty clan of Sisodia Origin.§ Persian Farmans(Grants) given to the ancestors of Ghorpade and Bhosles by the Bahmani Sultans and Adil Shahi Sultans relate the Shivaji family of Bhosle and that of Ghorpades directly with the Sisodia family of Udaipur.The following is the Sisodia lineage which is said to have migrated from Chittor to Deccan:Scholars such as Jadunath Sarkar have contested Shivaji's Rajput origin, saying that it was a fabrication required during his coronation.[citation needed] Others, such as C. V. Vaidya, do not accept this and point to works authored before his rise that refer to the connection. For example. theRadhav Vilas Champu, written by the poet Jayaram, mentions Shahji Bhosle, the father of Shivaji, as being a Sisodia Rajput and Shahji's letter to Sultan Adil Shah in 1641 refers to the Bhosle as Rajputs.[8] The discovery of Persian Farmans in the 1920s also dented the claim of those such as Sarkar. The documents bear seals and tughra of Bahmani and Adil Shahi sultans and establish the direct descent of Shivaji and Ghorpade with that of Sisodia of Chittod.[9]Some of the historical accounts stating that Shahaji and Shivaji were of Rajput descent include:
