They have not given a paisa (penny). But they criticized and spoke discouraging words. Oh, this will never get done. I hear every comment. Even if someone speaks miles away in Golconda, or hide inside a wall and speaks also, I hear every word. Everything falls in my ears. I never forget. I will teach them a lesson when the time comes. It may be after a lapse of several years also. But they can never escape punishment for speaking bad words. I will certainly catch them. It is okay if people don’t help. But they should keep quiet, and not speak discouraging words. Two months earlier, if anyone had come here to see the progress here, they would not have believed that the project would get completed in time. Even believers have commented that this is not likely to get done in time. They are like the cheap neighbors of those wretched fellows who speak ill. Many great structures have been built before. I don’t deny that. But that a grand structure like this was completed in such a limited time is remarkable. Many devotees have tied Purna Phala praying for a successful completion. They even came to Bengaluru to tie the Purnaphala. Their prayers were answered. Narayana Rao stood at the helm and got the work completed. No amount of applause is sufficient. No amount of praise is sufficient. No amount of appreciation is sufficient. No amount of money or help you may offer now will be sufficient. Anyway, let us bid good bye to the old year. I do not mention its name (Durmukhi means ugly face). But it did us no harm. It has been fair to us. It cannot help it that it has an unpleasant name. Let us welcome the New Year Hevilambi. Tomorrow morning the festivities begin at 8 AM. You may choose to come here in time for the Sri Chakra Puja.
