Respect

I'm sitting outside a temple in India about to go in and have people who love me pray that a god provides a wife for me. Apparently if I have faith I'll be married within 3 months. This is the test of my ability to respect these people who love me. I may fail. Regardless this is proof my mother doesn't respect me. Who knew this trip could be this trying within 8 hours of arrival...

Hang in there brother... it's just a thing... your the same person you are regardless of what you do in respect to that person asking to help you. It's just words if your heart is not in it.

I admire you for trying to respect those people who love you in their religious setting.

It was far less traumatic than it sounded like it was going to be. I need to calm down. I also need sleep.

Which temple by the way...

@Srijith no idea. Small temple on the east coast of Chennai. Apparently it is all about getting married .

@Srijith kalyani was part of the name of the temple.

@DJVJ311 you visited a 1000 year old temple... How was the architecture? Its typical dravidian architecture

@Srijith it was falling apart. Not complaining, but they had alot in place to hold it together together and stones about for repairs, so it was hard to get a good feel for it. Pardon my spelling, but I'm heading to Chiddabarram in a few hours and expect to see much more of the architecture and then kunyakumarri in 2 days. I believe Chiddabarram is supposed to be one of the oldest temples for Shiva Nataraja which is the only thing that really excited me.

@DJVJ311 yes. You should have gone brihadeswara temple. A unesco world heritage site

@Srijith Just leaving there now 🙂
