Over the years, the one on the left had virtually no owners left after the first sister who had passed away, and it was soon vandalised and taken over by passers-by and is now in a state of acute decay and may collapse at any time. Its windows are shattered and the verandah filled with grass and wood, the plaster has long since fallen off and there is no hope of repair.
The one belonging to the other sister, on the right hand side, was
passed on from one owner to another and managed to survive over the
years.
It is the house I live in today and from where I am writing this.
I wonder what its fate will be over the years!
Truly it is said that an owner of a house is the Soul of the House, and when the Soul is gone, the house becomes like a body without a soul.
But this house is Sacred to me and many others. It is the house in which my father, HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) and my Mother, Savitri Devi,(1916-1967) lived before they left the planet earth, and is a pilgrimage center for all those who have Faith in God.
In fact the house is a Temple for us, and the more we look at the decayed house of the other sister on the left, the more determined it should make us all, the loyal and faithful devotees, to ensure that they look after it in the years to come, with all their hearts and souls, so that it does not meet with the same fate as the first one.
Let us hope we never have to hear the words below:
"Khandar bataa rahe hain
Ki imaarat azeem tthee"
"The ruins do tell us,
That the Monument was indeed magnificent"
