I had my own share of experience of this when I lost my mother in Jan. Due to various logistics reasons, I was unable to recommend a Sastrigal that I know in W.Mambalam and instead dealt with a different Sastrigal. While I am writing this post to criticize about any Vadhyar, my intent is to let others know to speak up or say “no” at times. I was originally given a budget of 5 Lakhs to do the 13-day kaaryams and finally I had to negotiate to bring it down to market average. While the vaadhyar did not insist that I should do everything he listed but he was terribly disappointed when I said that I am not going to do few things. I fully agree to this video’s last statement – “this apara kaaryam should not become like an opportunity exploit when the family is in grief.”. This is the time that we need gentle and consoling support from vaideekas.
