[ Buy and Sell but Why.]

(My home purchased & Sold after as mentioned this is the only picture with my Grand Daughter)
If you have purchased a property to your own use to live and be happy to live, how long you wish to live. The Life of a property depends on its construction, use, maintenance, skill used in proper use of all items of the structure for maintenance. My home where I lived was 6 years old and ground floor. I constructed a 2 Bed Room apartment over the 6 year old structure. The contractor who built my First Floor, used the labour and materials to build a first floor of his house. I was not present and told my relative to supervise which he did to his full satisfaction by visiting or calling the contractor to his house and finished the first floor and he did send me the accounts as he had kept with the result there was a significant increase/ decrease in the amount paid and spent. I could not collect the difference because he was my relative and did not ask me if his account was accepted and I waited for his reply. Neither he asked nor I asked, result I lost.

Moral - Give construction supervision to a known Civil Engineering experience contractor.

After few years I wanted to construct a Bed Room over my Car garage I gave the oral contract to my relative who after several years of teaching had the title Proof of Civil Engineering in a local college. I was not present during construction and the result was he did not construct a Balcony to my Bed Room or a Bath Room with a WC and toilet with hot water connections from the existing bath room. When I asked after he said the work was over, he said the ground floor has no foundation and so he finished the work. I told him I will do it, I did only the Bath Room and for Balcony there was no provision made by ground floor when garage was constructed.

Moral - Make a master plan for utilization of ground floor by a reputed civil engineering firm.

Knowing all the problems I asked my Mill civil engineer to make a plan after examining ground floor fully from foundation to civil construction details. He did it and said he can make the plan after demolishing the ground floor as all material used in construction was sub standard. Mud was used in walls. Water proofing materials were not used, wood for doors and windows were not wood worm proof and foundation was with out strength for further construction.

Moral - Purchase a plot of minimum 2,400 sq. ft. or more and plan what you want for 60 years and allow all your plans to be made as per your resources and needs to be built.

Fed up, I tried to sell but all those who came to see quoted prices very much lower than market price and also I had not got from the previous owner the Mother Sale Deed. When I asked the broker he said it is because my plot was a BDA plot and to obtain a Mother Deed it will be a herculean task expenses to get it from BDA will be unimaginable. Besides my house was neighboring a small hut and there was a construction of a temple owned by a old women sanyasi who was not friendly and the Shadow of my house fell on temple and it was not a good Vaastu sign. However I sold it after years and it was sold very much less than Market Price I was so depressed I never verified the actual market price from correct sources it was regrettable experience in selling.

Moral - Consult many persons on land and building with every one including a Vaastu man and never rush to settle with a broker.

I Construct a Villa.

(Because Villa was, talk of the day.)


A half constructed model Villa I purchased from the Developer and Builder  and with minor changes in the constructions specifications  I completed the Villa and occupied it after paying the D&B his dues as per construction agreement and requested the receipt for the amount with actual cost of construction materials and specifications. There was no reply for my e-mails and letters. I stayed for over 2.5 years. My son visited the place twice and complained that the 6 KM road from the NH 4 wss a disastrous road and more than 100 KM from Airport making the journey more uncomfortable than his journey of 21,000 KM. He was not happy with just a couple of Houses and maintenance of villa of the entire number of plots not even walkable in just un asphalted roads in the area from entrance to the Main Gate from Main Road and all roads inside the layout. He also saw the unfinished cleaning and handing over of the Villa in most unsatisfactory condition. My daughter soon visited but she found that travelling alone from Airport to the Villa in the middle of night and travelling again to Airport from villa alone for 100 KM in the night made her think and worry daily.


Adding fuel to fire the domestic help was a villager and my wife who has never had a maid as a villager found her very uncooperative and difficult to get replacement. This was the same predicaments in case of Cook and Driver. The other houses were unfriendly as we belonged to upper caste.

I had purchased the plot next to our Villa which was the previous office of the D&B and converted it my office and rest room. The 2 A/C Bed rooms specially furnished for my son and daughter was on the first floor climbing the stair case for years my wife had developed knee joint pain and doing the same here escalated her pain and knee surgery was most necessary as bone joints were touching at a point and it was very necessary for knee replacement. After the surgery it was impossible for my wife to live a single day with out pain and physiotherapy was a dire need. We had to move back to Bangalore and I did it with out taking any household items and offered the house for sale in advertisement. It was the same story again people would come and say it is this and that.

After 1 & 1/2 years of waiting I sold it again at a loss.

Moral - It is my Fate.

[ WHY VISIT TEMPLES ? ]

There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape and locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way . Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave path passes through densely . It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or city, or in middle of the dwelling place, or on a hilltop .
The essence of visiting a temple is discussed here .
Now, these temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust . The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple, known as "Garbhagriha" or Moolasthanam . In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed . ThisMoolasthanam is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum . We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol . What are they really? No, they are not God’s / priests’ flash cards when they forget the shlokas . The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings . Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it . This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this positive energy . Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy life .
Further, the Sanctum is closed on three sides . This increases the effect of all energies . The lamp that is lit radiates heat energy and also provides light inside the sanctum to the priests or poojaris performing the pooja . The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers takes a worshipper into trance, thus not letting his mind waver . When done in groups, this helps people forget personal problems for a while and relieve their stress . The fragrance from the flowers, the burning of camphor give out the chemical energy further aiding in a different good aura . The effect of all these energies is supplemented by the positive energy from the idol, the copper plates and utensils in the Moolasthanam / Garbagraham .
Theertham, the “holy” water used during the pooja to wash the idol is not plain water cleaning the dust off an idol . It is a concoction of Cardamom, Karpura (Benzoin), zaffron / saffron, Tulsi (Holy Basil), Clove, etc . . . Washing the idol is to charge the water with the magnetic radiations thus increasing its medicinal values . Three spoons of this holy water is distributed to devotees . Again, this water is mainly a source of magneto-therapy . Besides, the clove essence protects one from tooth decay, the saffron & Tulsi leafs protects one from common cold and cough, cardamom and Pachha Karpuram (benzoin), act as mouth fresheners . It is proved thatTheertham is a very good blood purifier, as it is highly energized . Hence it is given as prasadam to the devotees . This way, one can claim to remain healthy by regularly visiting the Temples . This is why our elders used to suggest us to offer prayers at the temple so that you will be cured of many ailments . They were not always superstitious . Yes, in a few cases they did go overboard when due to ignorance they hoped many serious diseases could be cured at temples by deities . When people go to a temple for theDeepaaraadhana, and when the doors open up, the positive energy gushes out onto the persons who are there . The water that is sprinkled onto the assemblages passes on the energy to all . This also explains why men are not allowed to wear shirts at a few temples and women are requested to wear more ornaments during temple visits . It is through these jewels (metal) that positive energy is absorbed by the women . Also, it is a practice to leave newly purchased jewels at an idol’s feet and then wear them with the idol’s blessings . This act is now justified after reading this article .
This act of “seeking divine blessings” before using any new article, like books or pens or automobiles may have stemmed from this through mere observation .
Energy lost in a day’s work is regained through a temple visit and one is refreshed slightly . The positive energy that is spread out in the entire temple and especially around where the main idol is placed, are simply absorbed by one's body and mind . Did you know, every Vaishnava(Vishnu devotees), “must” visit a Vishnu temple twice every day in their location .
Our practices are NOT some hard and fast rules framed by 1 man and his followers or God’s words in somebody’s dreams . All the rituals, all the practices are, in reality, well researched, studied and scientifically backed thesis which form the ways of nature to lead a good healthy life . The scientific and research part of the practices are well camouflaged as “elder’s instructions” or “granny’s teaching’s” which should be obeyed as a mark of respect so as to once again, avoid
stress to the mediocre brains
