Accordingly a small temple was built and the “Prana Pratishtha” was on the auspicious day of Sri Guru Poornima. Actually the rituals started on previous day i.e. on 18th July.

On 19th July the day started with Sri Gurugita chanting. After that again Homa started . Once the Poornaahuti was over the temple was ready for devotees to have ‘Darshan’.

Param Poojya Sri Gurudev spoke about the Guru-disciple relationship - “ Now a days there are numerous fraud gurus teaching yoga, meditation etc…, likewise there are many fraud disciples gathering here & there, deceiving and cheating each other prevails as a spiritual practice. Demonstration of Asanas and Pranayams has become a means of earning money for the gurus and wandering in pilgrimage places is a spiritual sadhana for the disciples.” HE said that it is a coincidence that Christmas fell on the same day. HE asked how the devotees of the Jesus Christ deceived and cheated him and finally killed him?
