Those who chided me because I insisted upon their making some contribution for a school, orphanage, college cycle stand, drinking water at a bus stop, witness shed in a court campus, attendant -shed in a hospital came in a big way with kilos of gold, huge cash gupt (SECRET)donation for big temples, shrines , offered feast for Pujaris with further offerings, but alas my request got only rebukes, scoldings.
I still go on doing my part without waiting for them. But, then I never visit the Temples.
