Namaskar

Yes it may belong to who so ever one thinks. One thing is sure that it was not looted by Invaders of the nation. It is stored away from those cunning looters. Now we have to make sure that it is be used for the poor and educating the uneducated. As you said that there must be trust of honest people, you will not find them amongst the Politicians or Bureaucrats in general but may be few who are honest to the core. One needs to find such people and ask them to make use of this money. One thing is sure that it should not have Government CONTROL.

Namaskar,

If any one has ability to contact Bhagwan Vishnu, please go ahead and ask Him whether He wants to take the money to Vishnu-lok? I don't think He wants your

gold, precious stones or currency notes. All He wishes that His children Love Him and think about Him before anything else. Unfortunately, most of His children 

are simply selfish and hardly take time to know Him including so called Mathadhish or spiritual leaders.

In any case, these money belongs to poorest of the poor. Neither government nor management should take a 'paisa' out of this treasure. A trust who

are comprised of good honest people, must take care of the money in helping the homeless and helpless. 

I dare to challenge to any one to prove me that these money actually belong to a pious & honest man who preferred to treasure underground. The deep research

will simply reveal that some bad person of the time, collected the money from poor people as tax and kept it which some how survived all these years.

Respectfully,

--- On Mon, 4/7/11, Vaidyanathan R <vaidya@IIMB.ERNET.IN> wrote:   http://www.firstpost.com/politics/hands-off-the-treasures-that-belong-to-lord-vishnu-35998.html   Hands off the treasures that belong to Lord Vishnu By R Vaidyanathan The news has been splashed from Auckland to Alaska. The temples of India contain several billion dollars worth of treasures. The opening of the vaults in the Sri Padnamanabhaswamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, according to a court order comes at a dangerous time for our polity. The mainstream media continues to sensationalize the size of the treasure. One of them gushes that "treasures tumble out of the temple" — as though this is illegal money stashed in the Cayman Islands. Let's be clear: these treasures were donated by the temple's devotees over centuries, and rightfully belong to Lord Vishnu, who cannot even be fully seen from any angle by devotees. He  is the true owner of this wealth and this truth should be internalized. It is unfortunate that this discovery should take place in Kerala, where the percentage of idol-worshippers is a minority – if one excluded Muslims, Christians and Marxists from the fold. The mere act of opening up the vaults and tunnels is thus fraught with significant dangers for Hindu society and our ancient civilization. The present times are most inappropriate to try to list the billions of rupees worth of diamonds and rubies and sapphires owned by our temples. We all know that a significant portion of our politicians have a criminal background and even parts of the judiciary are corrupt. The bureaucracy is compromised by a saga of loot and plunder. In this context, where government finances are completely out of alignment with revenue realities, the temptation will be to use these invaluable treasures to fulfill the insatiable personal and political greed of our politicians to fund populist schemes like "food security" for all with resources belonging to Lord Vishnu. Already more than 80% of the incomes of major temples is used for "secular" causes rather than for "sacred" purposes. <image001.jpg> The opening of the vaults in the Sri Padnamanabhaswamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, according to a court order comes at a dangerous time for our polity. Reuters It is not improbable that some jholawala economist will calculate — by dividing his mobile number with the pin code — that more than 70% of the people below poverty line can be lifted out of poverty if only this money is available to the government. The unaccountable civil society group under Sonia Gandhi – also called the National Advisory Council —  might formulate a bill (since they are the law framers in the present dispensation) to open up all vaults from the Amarnath to Ayappa temples and from Somnath to Kamakhya. There will be half-baked debates about using it for "social justice". The only people who can have some say on this wealth are those who visit the temple on a daily basis and who can chant, in this case, the Vishnu Sahasranamam. I am not even sure if those who are counting these treasures are eligible to deal with the "sacred" on the orders of the "secular". One can say that this is the last battle waged by Nehruvian secularists against the 'sacred" even though, in this particular case, it might appear to be a simple case of counting. Actually counting, enumerating and documenting are secular ways of dealing with sacred treasures in our temples, since the sacred is never documented but just observed and meditated upon. Some imported white or brown non-resident Indian expert will suggest a way of leveraging these billions and even propose investing a part of it in our stock markets to propel second generation reforms. Wall Street bankers, with colorful ties and multiple lies, should be tremendously interested. The wealth seen in temples becomes a target for jehadi terrorists and Wall Street bankers – who are no different except for the kind of killing they go for. The memories of the plunder of Somnath are embedded in the brain cells of every citizen of this country. Let us be clear. The town and the temple are already marked by global terrorists. The Kerala home minister says he will increase the number of pot-bellied constables to protect the treasures, as if the global jehadis can be handled by them. Quite clearly, this is the most inappropriate time to be listing the Lord's wealth. When a street is full of thugs and dacoits, no woman would venture out wearing her jewels and finery. One wonders why the courts have got into this, when they should have been focusing on the Hasan Alis, Rajas and Kalmadis of the world. It is puzzling why the acharya sabhas or Hindu organisations are silent on this issue. They may not have understood the full import of what is happening. For the sake of Dharma and for God's sake, our courts and powers should stop digging for treasures in our temples.   R.Vaidyanathan     _______________________________________ R.VAIDYANATHAN                                                           PROFESSOR OF FINANCE                                               INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT    BANNERGHATTA ROAD BANGALORE INDIA_560076 TEL: 91-80-2699-3086 FAX:91-80-2658-4050 E mail:vaidya@iimb.ernet.in   --  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much email ?
