Bribes galore at for Holy reasons

Reported on August 20, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #4421

I went for my Sarpa Samskara at kukke Subramanya temple. The ********** costed Rs 2500. But during the 2 day **********, u have to bribe almost everytime to the brahman assigned to you in the name of 'Dakshina' .. They ask only for 50s & 100s & d pujari makes faces if u pay any less.Mine told me to borrow atleast & give him. My ********** ws done & I think my dosh has gone but d experince has left a bitter taste.


I did another **********/havan in Bangalore, Jayanagar. The poojaris were 5 in total. For Dakshina they asked 1500! .. I gave thinking it ws part of the total bill which ws told to me wud be Rs 5000. But after **********, d Main Brahman shouted at me for paying so much in Dakshina. He said the poojaris are greedy & will fleece you for money. He said his bill remains Rs.5000 for d ********** conducted. Imagine d shock!!!! (The process of the ********** I realised later was outsourced.)After requesting, he took Rs.4000. The havan worked, things worked out. But d bad experience remains!
