Private message I recieved regarding some adverse comments. I cant check the authenticity however I thought its only fair to add the message in public comments. Hi Ken,
My name is Bobby Srinivas. I am the Chief of marketing and publicity of the famous Shiva Temple at Bangalore. I am writing you this mail in a great hope that you can help us.
The blog written on your website by some unknown person:http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Karnataka/Banglore/blog-5749.html with the content pasted below.
This content is not true. The temple raises money for our charity work as we are running a charitable hospital and home service. Please visit us at www.humanitariannetwork.org and you will come to know about us more in details.
I request you to please take or erase the blog that I have pasted below since it hurts our reputation.
Looking forword for your help.
Bobby Srinivas
February 2nd 2008 - aninomous banglorean: for the owner RVM
yes it is true that the Shiva Temple is beautiful but it is heard that the owner Mr. Ravi V Melvani is minting money from the devotees and spending for his own benefit. Heard that he is also known as a womaniser though he pretends to be a spiritual man....maybe that is the reason that his store has been closed due to loss...

February 2nd 2008 - debu: for the COO, Mr Jitender Tiwari
Jitender Tiwari, the COO of the temple is helping the owner Ravi V Melvani in robbing the money from the devotees. It is good that the physically challenged people are given job but only to gain to the emphaty from the devotees...in return they get very less salary. Jitender is stealing money and he is helped by the financer Radha (his love)...hey jitender this is very bad ha....becareful.

Love Is Lord Shiva, Lord Shiva means Love The moment you enter into this temple and see Lord Shiva's Tapas Posture with half opened Eye. You will feel like you are in the most Safest place you can ever think off. You will completely forget all your worries and trouble if you sit in front and pray and make your wish with good heart. Its one of the finest thing the beautiful ever green Bangalore has. Please dont miss to visit this temple.
It is the most heavenly place that i had ever been to. This is one reason why i liked my stay in bangalore. As long as i was there in bangalore, i made it a point to visit the place everyday. And i have a special word of appreciation for the bhajan singers who make the place all the more divine. let the divine blessings of the magnanimous lord get showered on all those who visit this place.
SHIVA the Generous one Belive me guys,the Lord Shiva is the only effective god whose has his true presence to be believed seek him you shall not be disappointed all your wishes and worries will be fulfilled i have experienced its fruits so its my duty to share his blessings and glory to the world OM NAMA SHIVYA
Ignore entring KempFort, It is very very worst KempFort is very worst. Plz don't visit or buy anything there.
They will allow you inside only if u look rich or else they will demand you that u should buy for atleast Rs.1000. Also the employees inside have no mannerism they will be behaving like beggars.
great pics of sign boards!!! " The Roads in india are so bad " i dont think that's right, okay the roads from srinagar ,leh and to manali is hard and have you ever nocticed, that's the spirit of the travelling!!! " please always accept things as it comes , be possitive" Travel to any country and please follow there rules, better not to compare and judge.

Spice Plantation Thanks Ken. This brought back memories of our fantastic holiday in Goa last year. We bought essential oils from the farm which completely got rid of my husband's psoriasis. Until we ran out ! We want to get more so we now have the e-mail address. Thnaks to you ! Regards
