I have been the fortunate recipient of Guru Raghavendra's benevolance for more than a couple of decades. The number of times that he has helped me overcome obstacles and guided me in his own characteristic 'invisible' manner are too many to be elucidated in a single blog post. I also was fortunate in he making himself visible once when I was in Mantralayam on the banks of Tungabadra river. I will mention about it in one of the blog posts.

Sometime back, my wife and myself had decided that we need to contribute to the society in such a way that more and more (un)fortunate people get to know about him in this world and seek his benevolance. Along these lines, we decided that possibly the best way for us to do this is to see if we can go ahead, identify a rural place which does not have his Mrithika Brindavanam and construct a temple for him. Along with this, we also wanted to explore the possibility of having an old age home to take care of senior citizens and give them a very peaceful life towards their end of their 'careers'.

We had certain investments maturing from our savings of the last few years at around that time that we thought we will redirect to this 'special divine project'. Slowly over the last few months, the project was taking shape and HE was making it more visible for us by giving the different layouts.

More later......
