THE MANNER IN WHICH WE HAVE REPOSESSION OF OUR MOOLA NAGASTHANAM; MOOLA DAIVAS PLACE, OUR ANCESTORAL HOUSE AND PROPERTY WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY

 

MOOLA NAGASTHANAM

In 1972 in a Jyothishya Prashna it was directed to construct a new Nagagudi, do Punah Prathishta and also to arrange a Naga darshan at the Naga Bana at Tonse. This place was then in the hands of a person belonging to a different religion. Learning our good intentions he donated 20 Cents of land willingly to our Family. With Fullest Co-operation of all Family members we had reconstructed the Nagagudi with compound walls (Stone Masoury) and performed the Punah Prathishta of Naga Devaru in a grand befitting manner under the Leadership of our Family elder Poojya Dr. T.M.A.Pai. Family members & freinds and relatives attended the function in large numbers. The land donor although belonging to another religion offered his seva to the Naga Devaru. Due to damage created to Nagagudi because of the growth of a gigantic old Banyan Tree a new Naga Gudi was constructed as per directions given in the Naga Darshana in January 2001. With religious ceremonies the Pratishta Mahotsava of Naga Devaru in the said new place was done on Friday 16.2.2001. Family members had whole heartedly contributed to the success of the function and also attended the function in large numbers.


DAIVASTHANAM

The property of our original Daivam “Shree Baikadthi, Panjurli which was in outside hands due to alienation has been regained. A new Gudi has also been constructed in 1995 and Punah Prathishta was done in a grand manner. The owner of the property has permitted in writing to use his property for visiting the Daivas place to offer sevas.


ANCESTRAL HOUSE & PROPERTY

The ancestral home with the property measuring 3.15 acres which was also alienated has been repurchased and got registered in our favour on 31.1.2001 and 24.2.2001. Out of the same after retaining 1.25 acres for the trust the remaining property has been converted into small sites and given to members of family by mutual understanding. Few more sites are remaining to be given to interested purchasers. Sri T. Sadananda Pai, Manipal, the Author of the trust is authorised to get the sales registered. Most of the sites are already registered and remaining sites will be registered shortly. A contribution of 10 Cents of Land has been made by Late Sri T. Vittaldas Pai & Family Brahmavar to our Trust. Few areas like roof and flooring of the house which were in dilapilated condition were repaired and replaced in Feb 2001. Pest control has also been carried out in the building as it very old. Sri Ganesh Mallya, Kallianpur who is a relative of Family is maintaining the works of the House & Garden on honorary basis.
