Sarvadarshi Insights - 5-10% of our temple have water sources




One thing that gives great satisfaction in any outing or yatra is Teerth Snana, doing Aanheka near the river in a calm and natural place. This not only calms down the busy running mind but also improves the devotion, love to nature.

There was a time when every temple, mutt was near to natural rivers for Tarpana, prayers, Made Snana, conserve water as well. If no nearby river then ponds(Pushkarani), multiple wells, open space with Sand and/or Tulasi Vana, Flower plants.

In the modern world, today temple/math all are getting into the shape of "Concrete Jungle". Also, unfortunately, no plans for having any water resources built over several decades now. Many times we are compromising on borewell saltwater for Made Snana or no Made snana.

It is the right time to initiate building water resources and Tulasi vana in every temple as must to have requirement. This would really make the right use of donors' money and helps in Dharmik activities much better. 

One such example is Koppala Madhwa Tapovana. Where a well-known true service-oriented Sri Raghupremachar dreamed and realized a POND at this place with a great source of water for all activities. 

Such initiatives need to boost, such thinkers need to be provided good support and get resources created for future Madhwa generations.

What is MUST TO HAVE in temple/math:

  1. Ponds/wells/ puskarani
  2. Tulasi vana
  3. Parijata, mallige plans
  4. Open space for kids to play in the open air
  5. Disabled friendly tools
  6. Safety lockers and padaraksha lockers
  7. Lean construction principles
  8. Social responsibility team - for working on social causes, protecting nearby brahmins, handling the natural disasters, insurance for poor Madhwa families
What MUST BE AVOIDED in temple/math
  1. Wasting money on decorations
  2. Using plaster of Paris
  3. Fully closed building ( where no natural air/sun/freshness)
  4. Costly building with fancy items ( Please as its donors money )

Sarvadasrshi Sadhakiyaru - Madhwa Women Achievers

 Being a true Madhwa lady is as tough life style as a women CEO of large organization How is Kalibadhe to Women? Women been power of the community always, in the past, present and most importantly for future. If dharmik happy life has to be seen on this earth its possible only through brave women. Today with heavy influence of western culture, to be clear western Bad culture influence is much higher than influence of westerns good culture. The culture of cutting cake, waking up in midnight 12 and giving a gift/cake has become totally unavoidable. We are at peak of blind culture by people who said Dharma is blind belief!!! There are several life being sacrificed just because family did not agree to celebrate kids 1st birthday in hotel at the cost of 40-80,000. Women are under tremendous peer pressure today, applying kunkum, wearing mangalasutra has itself been a factor of being old-school-though person. People don't want to even show themselves as Madhwas, Brahmins or even married.
