temple

this days i avoid going to temple or attend any puja
but once upon a time this was my regular daily activity
when i was in delhi i was next door to aurobindo ashram and in the evenings i would venture within
i used to also go to chhatarpur durga mandir and other places
when i was in noida i used to go to one temple near by
i went to vaishno devi with my family
it was very hazardous

i also used to look at any elderly lady as if my mother
mrs fateh singh was my next door neighbor i once took her to noida temple
she could not find her slipper when returning
she made it point to make a show to point out security lapse of the temple
she headed for the room where temple head was resident
without a word that person took out a 100 note a gave it to his subordinate and asked him to accompany her and buy her a sandle of her choice
she instantly became so apologetic
'in the temple we come to donate and ask for blessing and now how can i take donation from temple and what blessings can i give'

the chhatarpur durga mandir was created by one dark bengali tantrik who was slightly lame
he too had a room next door and he was there watching the mandir
he used to also be very mobile and move around in a white car and very active
my young daughter was very attractive and whenever we visited the temple she was specially treated
before i left india i visited this temple again for last time and i could not find him anywhere
when i was leaving by my car then i saw him as a very small man almost naked sitting on a floor in the farthest hut about half a mile away from the temple
squatting
