Temples No More?

2:23:00 AMKrishna Rao

An old temple converted into a school?

Another picture of the same school.

Place for us to rest, sell stuff and use it for sleeping?

Closed temple doors!

Money changers, hotel and the rest!

Dattatreya  Money Changer! Birth place of the same Guru Dattatreya. 

A temple dedicated to Bhima from Mahabharata but no one enters here. A tailor sits stitching and doing his business here.

Guest house and beauty parlour?

This is a famous cafe inside a temple. You may sit on the two floors and sip beer or have Misthi doi!

Patan temple square!

Let us take some rest here besides a closed temple. The temples open once a year. Imagine opening only a few hundred times in the past thousand years!

General Meeting place.

Enjoy the temples supported by stilts!

Can I say anything about it here?
I visited Nepal and found to my dismay a lot of old heritage sites converted into schools and restaurants selling beer and the like. These are temples built hundreds of years ago and now they house couples necking away, druggies, vendors selling wares, etc.. Smokers and drinkers lining up the balustrades and people sitting chatting away. Its a very sad case of ruins going to ruins. Sigh! I sincerely hope the erstwhile Hindu kingdom takes it seriously otherwise this will be another case of Bamiyan!

Krishna Rao

I do not perform miracles,produce ash,trinkets,cure diseases,grant wishes or do anything that would make you come to me. I am a teacher of the spiritual with a clear agenda of taking my students through the paces of reaching the lofty goal of realization and liberation. I do not guarantee that too.I do not ask you to wear garish clothes,do body contortion exercises or practice any religious activities.I first ask you to test me out thoroughly and only if you are fully satisfied will I ask you to welcome me in your life.I,in turn also observe you and select the path most suitable for you.I do not have any goals of building ashrams,having a hoard of followers,collecting funds for any charity or indulge in free publicity! I teach one on one and would not force you to stay with me. You are free to walk out the day you find out that I have nothing to offer to you.Bless you for reading this.
