About our Village baratipura

My Village Baratipura, located in Krishnaraja pet talluk mandya district, karnataka
I was born here and grew up and did my preschoolstudies here.
From the beginning of my childhood days,ihad interest in mythology like,Ramayan, BhagawadGeetha, etc.
My father is a devotee of Laxmidevi and used to do pooja and abhishekam to GodessLalxmidevi,
so whenever there is questions risen in my mind regarding village history , rituals and festivals , cultural activities , and my village name, i always asked my village’s  Senior people . According to them our village Bhratipura was re named when the Laxmidevi temple was built in our village.
700 years backmy village name was Tripura pura,it was a land of so many transcended Brahmins, holy lakes and powerful system. There were12 lakes in the village in which had holy water and all temples deity's pooja and abhishekamwas taking place. Every morning around 4.30,  Ramakrishna and RamalingeshwaraMangalaaarati done and Ramanjaneyaaarti after they done other temple’spuja.

These holy Brahmins were powerful and very orthodox,disciplined in their work .They were so precise and perfect that this Tripurapura was on high flames for its festivalsat that time .As time gone by, villagers are bitten by their ego and they started interrupting to all punctual acts of temples and pooja .Brahmins made them understand but it was already late. People totally opposed them ,cheaters ,liars were born in the village and became rage in its own agenda .parties were being made on own caste systems in the village .As years gone by,  this holy swamiji'swere troubled and disrespected by the elder people of the village and strong peoples yet were doing poojavidhi perfectly. But it became mess, as the village festival approached villagers neglected their work on temples and Brahmins couldn't perform well on punctual activities of Gods. so they were deceased and cursed .

In the meantime, villagers became one part and they disrespected them. Once, it was a rainy season and that day rain god was angry, it was flood in village and thunders and storms,whole night the rain fell village,no one came out and this holy Brahmins tried so much to reach the temples. But because of the heavy rain and there was nobody to help them they were drown in floods and died one by one saving each other.

All Brahmin families gave their lives and sacrificed for god in one night. The only Brahmin saved who was performing late night pooja to Ramakrishna swami, he stayed back in the temple that night as the temple is in high place of the village, flood couldn't reach there. He performed morning pooja and opened the temple doorsand he was shocked to see that the families were dead, and no one helped them.

In the morning he was in mourn, requested and prayed to the villagers to help him perform final rights according to rituals, but no one cared his words. Rain was still flushingon,people stayed in temples were neglected, and dead bodies of his family members were kept more than a dayand finally got angry. He asked god that, after performingpooja well in the storm rain also, his family sacrificed their lives.  For their vidhi and poojas still god did not saved them and villagers stayed back why? What’s their fault? after all using his all power he cursed village that after this very day Tripurapura will loseits shine, and there will be never poojavidhi will happen perfectly, no Brahmin will come to this village, temples will become forgotten, no god will respected and the villagers who are helped by thief's cheaters, liars will always be with them, no matter how much they gain it will go in vain .They lose their charm, no one will be happy and peaceful. He cursed them given back the life to dead bodies to take them all with him .being a holy and graceful Brahmin they walked with him till place where a huge grace was saved for cow, animals of village he kept their bodies there and gave fire.

After the curse given to the village, villagers suffered from various type of diseases, and they understood what they have done. And finally they asked him to release them from the curse falling on his feet.

Finally he tol the villagers that, this curse was given using all his powers so it can't be reversed back. They have to suffer but, one day when time comes a holy grace, transcendental body a Jagad guru, holy Brahmin will come to the village due to efforts of saadu people. And from that day this village will reborn and reform. Till date it will be as it is ,and left the village.
