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.

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?

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