Building Guru Raghavendra Mrithika Brindavanam: Experiences

I was supposed to be getting the property documents today from the registrar office. Not willing to take chances especially taking into account that I am travelling tonight to Mantralayam, I personally went to kanchipuram and reached the sub-registrar office at around 11:00AM in the morning. I was told that the papers were already collected by the seller's agent yesterday (Thurs). I called up the promoter from Kanchipuram and enquired with him to see if I had to collect the papers from someone in Kanchipuram itself or it would reach me in Chennai. I was made to wait in the hot sun till around 3:00PM since even after trying different people continuously on the promoter side, I was not given confirmation of where the property papers were. After 3:00PM, I was told to start from Kanchipuram with the assurance that the property papers will reach me before I leave for Mantralayam - since this was the full purpose of hurrying through with things so that I can keep these papers in front of...

Today was the Ekadeshi day - auspicious day of fasting.... We were asked to come in the early morning to the sub-registrar office at around 7:30AM in the morning. Surprisingly, we felt that the sub-registrar office being a government office, the staff would not turn up so early in the morning. But, we were in for a pleasant surprise.... After the staff including the sub-registrar all appeared by around 8:30AM in the morning, the entire process of the registration including the affixing of thumb impressions were all over within an hours time... The property registration expenses sky rocketed as compared to the original estimate given - but the promoter had successfully pushed us to limits of patience that we were not winking even for shelling out the extra amount here to get the transaction completed.... Finally, at around noon today, we were back at home. Maybe, today was considered as a better day by Guru Ragavendra today being Ekadeshi - But what ever was his reason, after seeing thi...

Today, on the hope that all issues are going to be getting removed by Raghavendra, and also today being a Thursday, myself and my Brother-in-law set out to Kancheepuram to be in the land site by around 11:30AM in the morning. But the promoter and the seller of the land were nowhere to be seen till around 1:00PM. Since we were particular that we should not be having lunch without the land registration getting completed, we also skipped the lunch.... Continuous phone calls to the promoter only elicited the response that we are very close to the property.... However, the seller failed to appear till around 4:30PM in the evening by which time the sub-registrar being a part of the government formation had already closed shop for the day. The heavens had opened up on that day in Kancheepuram with some decent rains and I was hoping that this could be taken as a blessing for us from the heavens - since this is considered as one of the auspicious signs generally. But apart from my verification ...

On confirming in the next day that we can have the registration on 11th, we were hoping that it is all going to get over on 11-Jun and after the registration, we will also be getting the registered papers by 25-Jun as committed by the promoter. But, alas, as it turned out like all the previous commitments, this also turned out to be a FALSE hope. On making a casual call to the promoter today evening to just confirm whether things are going on as per the plan, I was informed that registration is not going to be possible on 11th but will happen on 18-Jun. At the same time, I was also told that I will be still getting the papers out by 25-June as per the earlier commitment by him. I was also asked to hand over the remaining money for the land on the date of the registration when the registration is complete which I refused to accept and told him that I can pay the balance amount only on the date of getting all the papers on my hand.... Again, I am left clueless on why Rayar is continuing ...

What looks like a never ending story of the land promoter going back on his commitments sees to be continuing. Today in the afternoon, I got a call from the land promoter saying that the land registration is not going to be possible because the owner is expecting more money as compared to the previously agreed upon price. I blasted the promoter and gave him a piece of my mind telling him that there are no other options other than the following two options: a) To repay the money back pending for 2 months with him that I had paid or b) To get the registration done ASAP and get me the property papers on hand by 25th June since I was scheduled to leave for Manthralayam on that day. I wanted to take the papers to the mutt there and start discussions with them on establishing the brindavanam on that property. Finally the promoter agreed to call up in the evening at 8:00PM to confirm. At the evening, I went to the TNagar Raghaviah Road Raghavendra Brindavanam temple in Chennai, I pleaded and ...

Yesterday, turned out to be a mix of frustration and satisfaction with different turn of events. By afternoon, the property promoter was supposed to give a call to me which never happened. In a desperate and a frustrated attempt, I tried to reach him only to be told that the registration date of the rayar's selected property has not been still finalized. I banged the phone down after giving him a piece of my mind. The pressure and frustration rose to such an extent that I had started interacting with HIM in a subconscious level asking him to decide of whether he is still interested in me going ahead with a Brindavanam for him or if he is not interested to let me know through some means. With this frustration, when I went to one of HIS brindavanams yesterday evening, I was blessed with a vision to see his nithya aradhana closure for the day yesterday. I was conversing with HIM telling him that these blessings are accepted but was questioning HIM of what use are these for if answers ...

Now that the seal of approval has come from Rayar, negotiations started in right earnest with the promoter for arriving at the final price for the property. The whole property was for around little bit more than an acre.... After arriving at the final price, the first set of installments were paid off by April 1st, 2009 after which a communication issue happened with the promoter. The promoter started saying the rate as something that was never discussed and at a higher rate that was accepted by him. After a prolonged discussion in which both parties refused to accept the others standpoint, today we arrived at an intermediate price point between the two prices. This entire episode which lasted for 3 weeks approximately left a lot of bitterness in our mouths.... We are not sure of the reasons behind this leela by Guru Raghavendra... Was this because of any abacharam that was commited by us in this project till now? Was this delay and torture a test of our strongness in this project to b...
