About My Village Baratipura
by Ramesha gowda
My Village baratipura is located in Krishnaraja pet tallok mondya
karnataka
i born here grew up, and studied my pre school .
from the beginning of the childhood days i always interested
in mythology , gods , Ramayan, Geeta ,etc .
my father is a devotee of laxmi devi and we used to do pooja and
abhishekam to lalxmidevi god .
so whenever there is questions risen in my mind regarding village history
, Gods festivals , culture activities , village name i always asked my village
old and Senior people .according to what i heard from people of my village our
village baratipura was re named itself when the laxmidevi temple built.
700 years ago my village name was tripurapura it was a land of so many
transcended Brahmins ,holy lakes and powerful system , there was a 12
lakes in village in which holy water all temples deity's cleaning,abhishekam
happened .every morning 4.30 am Ramakrishna and Ramalingeshwara Mangala aarati
done then Ramanjaneya aarti after they done other temple pooja is to do .these
holy Brahmins are powerful and strict ,disciplined in every work .they are so
precise and perfect that this tripurapura was on high flames for its
festivals .as time gone by villagers are bitten by their ego they
started becoming walls to all punctual acts of temples and pooja
.Brahmins made them understand but it was already gone too far . people totally
opposed them ,cheaters ,liars born village became rage in its own agenda
.parties are being made on own caste systems in village .as year gone by this
holy swamiji's are troubled and disrespected by village main and strong peoples
yet they are doing their pooja vidhi perfectly but it become mess .as village
festival approached villagers neglected their work on temples and Brahmins
couldn't performed well on punctual activities of Gods ,so they are
deceased and cursed .in the meantime villagers become one part and they treated
this holy people as they are nobody .it was a rainy season and that day rain
god was angry it was flood in village and thunders are being flashed ,stormed
the village whole night that no one come out and this holy Brahmins tried so
much to reach the temples but because of rain and there was nobody to help them
they are drawn in rain floods and died one by one saving each other .
all Brahmin families are gave their lives sacrificed for god in one
night .the only Brahmin saved who was performing late night pooja to
ramakrishna swami hwe was stayed back in temple last night and this temple is
in high place of the village flood couldn't reach there he performed morning
pooja and opened temples doors he got shocked to know that his families are
dead no villagers are helped them .in the morning he mourned,requested
,preyed villagers to help him perform final rights according to vidhi but no
one cared .rain was still going on ,people stayed in temples are neglected, his
family members bodies are kept more then one day finally got angry he
asked god that he performed pooja well in the storm rain too his family
sacrificed their life for their vidhi and poojas still god did not saved them
and villagers stayed back why ? whats their fault ? after all using his all
power he cursed village that after this day tripurapura wil lost its
shine,there will be never pooja vidhi 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 needy .they loose 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 all this
villagers suffered from various type of fever and deceases they understood what
they have done they asked him to release them from curse falling on his
feet .finally he cooled down and told them 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 jagadl guru ,holy Brahmin will
come to your village due to efforts of saadu people and from that day
this village will re born and reform till the date it will be as it is .he left
the village .
