The Chattarpur temple is so blessed that when the

          construction started, there were a lot of snakes on that
          land. I  had  heard  there  was  a  pair  of  'Ichha  dhaari
          naag' there as well. “Guruji, are there any ichha dhaari
          snakes or is it just a myth?” “Yes they do exist, there
          was  a  pair  on  the  Chattarpur  mandir  land,  but  now
          they  have  gone.”  Said  Guruji.  “Why  did  you  decide  to
          make a temple at Chattarpur? Is there a reason behind
          it?”  I  was  curious  to  know  if  the  land  had  any
          significance.  Guruji  replied,  “Eh  succhi  than  hai.
          Aithe  bade  mahapurushan  ne  bhakti  kiti  hui  hai.
          Aithe di vibrations badi high hai.” - “This land is very
          pious; a lot of rishis and saints have meditated on this
          piece of land over many years.” This explained the high
          vibrations that a lot of us have felt as we set foot inside.
          The  surrounding  areas  used  to  become  barren  due  to
          the  heat  but  the  temple grounds  were  always  lush
          green. All plants could be grown all the year round.

               The  Shivling,  although  hollow,  supports  a  heavy
          chandelier  thanks  to  Guruji's  blessings.  Many  of  us
          have  witnessed  amrit  flowing  down  the  Shivling  and
          according to Guruji one day there will be milk flowing
          on the Shivling instead of the amrit.

               The  Ganesha  idol  at  the  entrance  too  has  its  own
          powers. The day the idol reached Delhi, it was 'lohri', a
          function celebrated in January. My mother and I, along
          with Guruji's mother and another lady, were instructed
          to go and leave the idol at the Chattarpur temple. Just
