Om
According to my suggestion, whenever if we buy an acre of land, we have to construct at least a small temple for Lord Vinayaka in our land, since if we pay our respects to the first god Vinayaka, then the remaining portion of our land would be properly utilized by us.
The 17th century Madhwa saint Guru Raghavendra Swamigal had got the Mantralayam village from a Muslim ruler, and apart from that, he has received lot of lands from many kings, including Muslim kings. We can also donate money with regard to the construction/repairs and renovation of the temples. Giving money for repairs and renovation of the temples is also considered as a part of Grihadana. We can also donate our lands for the purpose of constructing schools, colleges and Veda Patasalas. Most of the people would be writing the will in favour of their children only, and that is correct also. But before writing the will, we can donate some lands for temples and mutts, in order to get the grace of the divine almighty and the divine gurus.
If we happily donate some portion of our lands to temples/churches/mosques, then in our next birth, there is no need to worry about our stay place. By the way of donating our lands for a noble purpose, we would get the blessings of the earth mother Ma Bhudevi and her consort Lord Vishnu.
