I would like to share my experiance in saudi arabia being an Hindu myself..<br />In SA, muslim used to pray 5 times a day inspite of their office hours.they have a special room for prayers in Malls, Hospitals, offices and other public places. As our refreshing rooms in the building ,prayer room is must in SA as for them the first and formost duty is to follow their God.<br />after the call for the prayer during the routine time there, the all traders and shopkeepers just leave their shops unguarded ,open and proceed to the mosque. No one touches the things of the street seller who has gone for the prayer.I have always wondered as this seems to be a miracle for me as I have encountered my slippers lost left in front of the temple.<br /><br />I doubt, sometime do we really belive in god honestly. If so, our surrounding should not this much corrupted.God is another name of disipline, honesty, forgiveness,generosity,belif,trust,sharing... why blame other when we are the sinners. I learned a lot in S&A and feel people should learn good things from others too what so ever their religion or caste is... <br /><br />It really hurts that people are making making money for food ,to fill 3 times a day of theirs and the dependents by robing in the temple of Lord Tirupathy, God of wealth. No food for poor people in the Land of wealth....<br />I take this medium to request all people to server the poor people in their basic needs then to give a big donation to the temple..Sakthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09267508682786332327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491375971648757627.post-69733441426019962452010-03-28T00:39:08.485+05:302010-03-28T00:39:08.485+05:30the thief is being really honest.he stole in a tem...the thief is being really honest.he stole in a temple in front of the omochi.so let him judge and melt out punishments.if those do exist of course..freeSoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05708544526844237025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491375971648757627.post-49068483912680265452010-03-26T13:43:38.536+05:302010-03-26T13:43:38.536+05:30@Swaram : Indeed !

For those looters, temple is a better place as ppl r busy doing what they believe in and so they r safer. Its sad, but as u say, kalyug it is :(<br /><br />I lost my purse too recently .. must hv accidentally dropped it in the auto bcoz I remember paying the driver from mine, just 2 days after that incident @ home happened. I felt so bad that 2010 is shaping up so badly for me already :( But then I ws glad that though I hd gone to an ATM just sometime before to draw money, I hd returned without doing so thinking I cn do it later as the husband drew some rt then. I just wanted to thank God that I lost only rs.100 or so. What if I wud hv withdrawn some 1K or 2K?

But then when it happens to you personally and you experience it, the bitter feeling it leaves behind is too too much ! Knowing something is different from feeling it :( and I just could not digest the fact. As L_R rightly said, it makes you feel a complete fool and knowing that you fell right into the trap :( just simply does not help at all <br /><br />@Anu : you are so right abt the slippers too. And that happens even in chowltries as well. Esp, youa re sure to lose it if you had got it just recently. Its so sad abt Thiruvarur :(<br /><br />@Sat : you are very right, only i couldn't (still cant) digest the fact that I was so silly to have been so care less :(<br /><br />@LR : Yes. Need to do something like that. My mom has also been saying the same thing. Only, I have got so used to carrying it everywhere that i just went the same way yday as well. :(Lavanya Sriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358304193016120166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491375971648757627.post-52735032386362895672010-03-25T15:08:04.131+05:302010-03-25T15:08:04.131+05:30mm.. bitter experience.

When god himself/herself is being stolen, what is a little purse. Women with children are easy picks. <br />One suggestion if i may. When going to temple and just a temple, carry only money with you and not the purse. Or put it in a bag that is not a purse. Like a polythene cover or something.LIFE_REFACTOREDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623631077036852640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491375971648757627.post-27771836507379378422010-03-25T11:12:16.083+05:302010-03-25T11:12:16.083+05:30Lavs, you are talking about petty thieves and pett...Lavs, you are talking about petty thieves and petty thefts here, but what you and I have to understand as a bigger picture is, TEMPLES are no more a place for worship or to pour worries or to get some solace, they are glorified commercial hot spots. If you have more money you get so close to GOD, if you don't have money, sorry, just stand out. So GOD is no more common for all, he is close to the people who are rich, I mean, the temple administration is playing a broker role between the rich and GOD to make them go close.<br /><br />As you rightly said, a calm and a peaceful heart, can worship GOD even from the BED, we need not go to a TEMPLE, because he is there everywhere and TEMPLE is just a conference room to have a group chat with him.<br /><br />Freeyaa vidu, everything is an experience, thank GOD that this Rs 500 loot is not pinching you or your family's next meal, be thankful to GOD for that.Satish Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400050492251132960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491375971648757627.post-63958814071513301782010-03-25T08:59:57.524+05:302010-03-25T08:59:57.524+05:30thefts in temples are very common these days.... t...thefts in temples are very common these days.... the more crowded it is, the more the risk... i remember my mom used to tell me to wear old slippers to the temple, since there was a good chance that they would be stolen.... and its so well entrenched in my mind, that I am especially careful in temples.... I agree that this does not bode well for the next generation, but then what can u expect in a place where sculptures and deities are stolen from temples/??? we recently visited the saptha vidanga sthalams around Thiruvarur, and were shocked to realise that out of the seven temples, the original emerald lingam exists in just 2 temples today! in two others they are smaller, but still emerald, so i am not too sure about them, but in all the others, there is nothing! the pujari told us that they had been stolen years ago!!!!Anuradha Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460310200883662583noreply@blogger.com
