prevalence of energy in Hindu pooja (prayer) worship

Karanyasa and Mahanyasa are couple of ways of mapping the cosmic energy onto our selves. In the former we map the cosmic divine energy to our hand and in the latter we map it to our upper body.

The instructions for seating (e.g. make out of kusa grass...), the direction in which to pray (e.g. "god must be east facing etc.) and the attention given to clothing (silk threads) and also tying of twine from kalasa to post during Prana Prathista remind me of the attention we pay to energy of self, earth and cosmos.

Apparently the seating has some earthing / grounding affects. The direction has to do with energy field alignment. Clothing has to do with containment of energy.

At least these are the common myths.

Going back to Karanyasa and Mahanyasa, I see a correlation between this and mapping procedures we use in mathematics (e.g. Laplace, Forier transforms), and mapping procedures we use in computer control (e.g. NASA control room on earth working on a space-shuttle-seen galactic landscape).
