goddess may not have looked after her things but she will punish them, through disaster that we may think were caused by technical faults or natural. she is after all amma to everybody.

I'm sure the goddess won't mind because they give to the needy but the greedy priest will surely mind.

Metaphorically called God House but public places for the convenience of people; should find out what happened!

When LTTE was having power they robbed our lives 100s per day . I think you have born few months ago.

WHAT A COUNTRY. SHAME.

Rajan Mohanani Monday, 20 February 2012 01:03 PM

They will start more things now due to the high COL

Prof Wickramatillake Monday, 20 February 2012 11:03 AM

With this COL, they will rob god too...

Government beware!!!

When LTTE was having power they rules without allowing any robbery and stealing from the kovils and when the government fails to provide such security what will the people feel?

SHS Monday, 20 February 2012 09:58 AM

I also had the same thoughts when reading the news...

Kolomba Kaka Monday, 20 February 2012 08:30 AM

How can the goddess give us security when she herself is unable to protect herself?

BADA-UDA GEMMBA Monday, 20 February 2012 09:50 AM

Is the LTTE behind this act as well???

vagish Monday, 20 February 2012 09:26 AM

what was the goddess doing when the thieves took all
the jewels

Sanath R Monday, 20 February 2012 09:34 AM

We may hear of more robberies and thefts as we go on since people are feeling the pinch of ever rising COL.

Leela Monday, 20 February 2012 09:33 AM

Let the God in chrge of the temple lookafter his property.

j Monday, 20 February 2012 09:16 AM

How goddess could help people if she herself become helpless.

Guru Monday, 20 February 2012 09:25 AM

Ask Gota??

Dee Monday, 20 February 2012 09:09 AM

Soon they will rob shoes off peaple walking on the street.

Calistus Jayatilleke Monday, 20 February 2012 09:04 AM

Oh my God ! Even Gods and Godesses are not spared in this country now as people are so desperate to survive.

Shami Monday, 20 February 2012 08:34 AM
