Thiruvananthapuram, Jul 3: When the last of the six cellers of Lord Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple chamber were opened on Saturday July 2 a gold idol weighing at least 35 kg was found, along with several other gold, diamond and silver articles.

On Saturday sources close to the temple informed that the total value of the wealth found in the secret chambers of Lord Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple is estimated at over 1,00,000 crore.

On Friday, when the fifth chamber was opened, the wealth was estimated at about Rs 50,000 crore, while in the sixth chamber, the wealth was found in abundance.

A special police force has been deployed at the temple premises as a security measure. ADGP Venugopal K Nayar has been appointed head of the police security.

It is learnt that the ornaments and valuables were stored in the chambers under a complicated locking system. The team of observers, along with experts struggled to open the secret door. Sources said that to open one chamber experts spent not less than six hours to undo the lock.

    As Debated and Discussed all the Treasures in the Temple were donted by the Royals..They lived like Paupers and Spartan,even to day the Former king at the age of 90 Lives like a Pauper.Any Rulers or Govt even today need to safe guard the states WEALTH(The Muslims invaders either attacked Temples or Kings Forts and later the Cruel British Rulers also attacked Kings to Loot.Today many Govts keep their Wealth in various Investments in Foreign banks and lend to Govts (USA has the highest savings of many nations including CHINA under Deposits of various categories.

    But Marthanda Vermas had kept in the Temple bcs Temples were safe and worthy to be trusted since there were no Banks in those Days...Hence pls think of those days and avoid being Judgmental bitterness on the Marthanda Vermas.If they donated or Kept Safe as Royal duty it was Right..But if One argues that the money should be spent for Public Purposes then let all Places of worship be searched and all Moneys spent for Govt Programs ..The Islamic Invasion of Md Gazhni and Mohm Ghor ,Aurngzebs Khzana were basically to raise fund to Build Mosques .Robert Clive looted Indian Khzaana The Brotish have the Kohinur and the Mayura Simhasan which worth Crores and Crores ..did Islam and Bible allow such funds to be spent on building Mosques and Churches..Dont worry Nothing is Going to ahppen to India It will be strong and Safe..

    Dear Mr. Jaimini P.B., Manipal,Sharjah
    Earlier you tried to abuse me indirectly by giving an example of a donkey.
    Now in the second time you tried to wound me physically through your gimmick plays.
    SEE BELOW:
    1) Every Hockey player on the playground was trying hard to hit a goal.
    The goal keeper was just sitting and relaxing. (None made a goal. Time out).
    2) You played cricket and hit a big shot. I jumped up well near the boundary and caught the ball in my left hand otherwise that ball was a six. Umpire called for a replay, the third umpire gave the decision out. Finger of the umpire has gone up.
    3) I think you only played black magic infront of Mangalore City Corporation on today. They poured a bucket of water and cleared. None of them was harmed.
    4) With me, you cannot play chess. Your fingers will get fuss
    5) You can play kabbadi with women. Unfit to play with me.
    6) You cannot break my bone. Already I have steel rods in the bones. You will ooze with blood.
    7) Joseph Gonsalves is not my name. He was working in Dubai. Now I don't know where he is? Formerly he was residing in Puttur (of course he is my relation). If you need I will find out so that you can send your TRISHANKU novel book to him. If he is dead, you have to read the novel and all your efforts will vanish/in vain.
    Smartness is good. Oversmartness will ruin.
    Ambitions are good. Overambitions will lead to nowhere/astray.

    CONCERNING TO YOUR ADVISE ON YOGA:

    Do a person works in the farm need yoga?
    Do a person who is swimming daily for 15 minutes or half an hour need yoga?
    Do a person climbs coconut tree need yoga?
    Do a person runs daily for half an hour need yoga?
    Have JNANODAYA
    Of course people need some exercise while people work in the office.
    And where these office people have time to spend for an hour or two for yoga?

    SCORES OF INDIANS RUN TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES IN SEARCH OF JOBS.
    IN INDIA JOBS ARE NOT AVAAILBALE?
    THE PASSPORT OFFICE IN MANGALORE IS CROWDED WITH PEOPLE FOR PASSPORTS.

    Dear john lobo, mangalore,
    I quote your comment: imagine what will happne if majority hindus start think like you ? Unquote.
    Think on the other way: if the majority of Christians think as what you have written what will happen to this world. Yourself, myself, and many will perish in violence. But still people will remain on this earth. Now do not ask me who will remain Christians, hindus, muslims, Buddhists, jains, sikhs, jews?
    Since the world began the history is violence and still going on and we are boosting ourselves as peaceful people. Think where we will stand with the wicked minds of the people?

    Further about my earlier comment for you about the protests before the church/priests which should be peaceful and not violent.
    Violence has proved wrong since beginning and till now.
    God doesn' need wealth, money, gold, pearls, diamonds.
    Does God eat all these things?
    It is the human who utilizes all these things for his own livelihood.
    Finally I doubt you are a follower of Jesus Christ.

    Dear john lobo, mangalore,
    If you have any problems with the priests/church and nuns consult with them to resolve.
    If not resolved take the elders and again not resolved take it to the parish council to solve.
    If not at all solved gather some Christians of your parish and protest before the priest.
    For your information there is no treasure, diamonds, pearls like the hoarded came to light in kerala temple. Concerning to money everything there is account.

    This wealth is not related to Kerala People. This is related to the Hindu Temple. Becuase please find the NEWS the Coins and Idols are from Sri Krishna Deva raya, King of Vijayanagaram. That wealth cost is more then 30,000 Croes? Vijayanagaram is in Karnataka and Sri Krishna Deva raya belongings so this wealth is belongs to Karnataka. So give it to Yeddurappa he is nice person to handle this issue.

Also we dont need your advise regarding this as the temple trust is there, concerned govt is there to take care. So they will think about it what to do next with those things. Also those valueable things were found in temple which belonged to the kings who were ruling in the past. So please dont relate this with any politics or politicians.

    If any one will talk about Hindu religion, That guy will become a member of RSS?

    RSS/VHP/RAMSEENA will formed to protect the Hindu temples and religion like Sings during Mogul period. Where ever the Insult happen on Hindu religion there the Hindus will fight in form of RSS/VHP/RAM SEENA.

    First take back all your comments on this topic and We lot of GURU's in our religion to protect and utilize this wealth in proper manner.

    If you relay bothering about poor, Please support the People to whom I mention and pay the tax properly.

    Dr.Mohan Menon, Can you show me which temple is demanding Money from the people. I have visited all Vishnava temples in Kerala and Tamilnadu. People are offering the Money or wealth inform of (Paddy/Oil/etc) based on their capabilities. The prayer in Hindu temples are different then other religious and It is not possible to do the pooja at a time for thousands of people. We have some tradition in Pooja process.

    You born in such good religion and live like Hindu. Please try to read any one of our purana's the only you will come to know how much great our Hindu culture.

    While reading You mentioned in comments, You believing the Jesus, Because Temple demanded money from you. If this is right. Shall I one question? If the church also demanding the money from the people, Then you won't believe the Jesus?

    A basic rule in Hindu religion, A Hindu has to perform some daily poja activities in proper agamana(Praying style)(Like an Isalmic guy is doing Namaz's) and Since people are not educated well on the aagamana's, people are going daily to temples to pray the GOD and some people will offer Money/Prasada's/ some temple related use full things. for the maintenance of the temple , Poojari's may ask the Money from dovities. The may not demand.

    If your not interested to give single rupee to the temple , the people like you are not elegible to give the comments on Hindu religion.

    Lord Vishnu is the Richest God in the world . He will continue to be rich in future!!! It is because he is only demanding from his believers but not releasing his money to the poor. Just look out the neighborhood how many poor families live proper food and clothing. If he is god he will not store earthly treasure or ask money from the people who have troubles. To solve problems pooja and yegna must be offered and pooja and yegna must be done according to the reaches of the person who comes in need. He is most poorest among all earthly gods. If he is reach he would me most generous, he has the fear of future.

    This amount (over 100000 crore
    Rs) is far greater amount than
    the national budget of many of
    the small and poor countries of
    the world. Why did the former
    Kings hide the national wealth
    in a religious place? It was
    for security reasons. But it was
    the wealth of the State.

    This mammoth amount was not
    accumulated through the donation
    of the believers, but it was
    the national wealth of the State
    of Travancore strictly and secretly kept under the
    custody of the Kings, and controlled by the royal family
    without giving any hint to the
    blindly obedient citizens.

    So, now it has to be controlled
    by the State of Kerala, and must be properly spent mainly for the uplift of the suffering people of
    Kerala, since the wealth was located in a religious place. If we dig down the wealth
    kept in other identical Temples of
    Kerala, both in size and tradition we may not be able
    to find even 1 crore Rs.

    There must have strict accountability of spending the money. Perhaps GOD's country is
    blessed with GOD's blessings.

    Treasure and Money found should not be spent on developement activities . Govt has to make required developements . Get all the Black money which is out of economy for so long and do all the so called developement. Poor People of India are used to being poor , They don't attempt to grow up and grow reasonably rich . Nothing in life is easy as long as u don't make an attempt to ease it. This comment show how hungry we are to swallow the riches of God . Lord Vishnu is the Richest God in the world . He will continue to be rich in future.

    It is gr8 that Kerala is a strong Cristian presence state so money can be used for both for the personal self of the current cm and for the use of churches.

    one thing is guaranteed you all are fighting uselessly all this wealth is going to be robbed by our Great Indians only. so who are better robbers, We Indians. Although the British robbed us they left monuments we admire but cannot maintain. Fighting amoung ourselves have given us slavery to the British, this time it will gives wealth to the robbers around. We should insist this wealth be used for the betterment of the country.

    Dear Gonsalves please upgrade your general knowledge by knowing what the following persons have done in the filed of education and allied fields.Their contribution is much more than what you have projected on Fr.Patrao.It does not mean that this comment is to down play his contributions to the soceity.
    1.Dr,Shivakumar Swamiji of Siddaganga Mutt,Tumkur
    Sri Veerandra Heggade,Dharmasthala
    3.Dr.TMA Pai of Manipal
    4.Sri Aadi chunchanagiri Swamiji,
    5.Nitte Vinaya Heggade ,Mangalore
    6.Dr.Mohan Alva,Moodabidri
    7.Sri Krishna Mutt,Udupi under the guidance of all 8 Swamijies.

    These are only few I mentioned here and many more mutts and temples in erstwhile DK Dist are doing great work in the field of education,health and other allied community services. Just imagine the magnitude of their contributions to the nation and your illconceived notion will no where.
    Most important is that none of them at any point of time tum tumed their nation building activities.

    Dear friend, The European contribution in India in the modern education field is not being denied. But that doesn't mean they be condoned for all the cruelty they committed, like burning the non-believers in Goa. Catholics when they arrived in India were barbarians,

    India was a blooming civilization, they did not come all the way to help India. You must be pretty naive to believe that even if you are too much of a Christian, they came to make profits, then colonized, you mean to save India ? Because India was richer, simple. They made India poor, they became rich, what remains today.

    Why deny your Indian roots, blinded by the alien faith. And for temples and education how can they do that as all the wealth has been stolen from India by your saviors. So go and beg there and save the Indians. And for Christianity did it save the people, the why the dalit Christians in Kerala are struggling for reservations. Dalits are dalits, Xian or Hindu, fishermen fishermen. Why go for a pond when you have teh sea with you, Hindu faith is a se, it may have sharks like the priests, but no one compels you to go there, there are free areas around.

    After reading most of the comments especially dumbfounded Joseph F Gonsalves.I feel most these Internet Indian are still illiterate. Either they have been wrongly informed or they are an stereotype biased towards one religion.The treasure found was not black money like money stuffed in Swiss banks and not in any currencies as well, some comments were even to the extenct of saying that it was stuffed by RSS & Bhajrangis.

    These are Historic precious items which are more then centuries old and kept there for centuries and As per Indian law these things cannot be sold for any purpose. Chief Minister of Kerala has d that these assets belong to the Temple. So no place for useless discussion. If we have problem with the poor let us pay your taxes, fight against corruption because the black money of our country will more than be enough to eradicate the hunger.

    Thank God, the British did not had an idea about it otherwise they would have definitely looted the temple,just like the way Kohinoor was robbed. They have stolen most of our wealth by the time they left and left some useless people back in India whose grandchildren have now grown to become either corrupt or write baseless things here and support Britishers and talk about fake patrotism!!!Wake up

    It is indeed a huge wealth. Just to keep the treasure hidden inside the temple can no way make the people of the country benifitted of the wealth.But the tresures being precious in its achealogical value we shouldn't convert them into money. The treasure can be the wealth of the temple, but the government should be the custodian of the wealth.

    With the consent of the temple/ devaswam the government should build a prestegeous Sree Padbanabha archeological museum with all the treasures exhibtied in state of the art security measures. The revenue out of exhibiting the treasures to international tourists alone may be utilized to the welfare of the poor and destitute.

    The people who say it should be given to the poor have lost their senses.As soon as some gold is found ,they think of distrubuting it like Parle G biscuits.1000s would arrive with fake certificates to recieve that.Mind that if the money is directly distrubuted that way,How sure the money would be used by the poor rightly.Will they save it?

    They might spend in drinking,smoking ,gambling as people do now.It is the temples trust to decide how rightly it can be used in a charitable way. And Mr Joseph F. Gonsalves: That is the ability of a man(indiviual) and i appreciate him.Even Madiyala Narayana bhat has done that in Alike.He didnt build temples,but built education temples

    God has enough health and wealth. When someone got lots which is either hard earned or looted. All gods in realty as one god named with various brands and this one god does not worry about money. every religion teaches charity, help the needy, don't murder, not to commit adultery. So why so much unwanted communal comments for no reason. if this temple has lot will be used to help the needy by that temple autorities. For sure it won't be used to build nuclear bombs like Pakistan or build terror camps to destroy Israel or western countries.

    India is a great nation with various religions and very cultured place to live. People respect and pray for the prosperity of India rather critisize. So much freedom each person got it. Think about living devil nations like Pakistan every soul is full of hatred in that nation who is peace stealer, jelous, murderers, no religious freedom for Hindus, Christians, jews. So we Indians are rich in democracy, culture, wealthy. Praise god for that. One more Hindus are the best of all people on this globe. Jai Hindudtan and long live India.

What is belongs to the kings will considered to be country's wealth. If still that wealth is hidden with out the knowledge of the government that is surely illegally stored wealth with out the knowledge of the Government of India. Mr.Satish if country's protection is not there upon the deposed kings they would have been vanished by this time.

    Dr Divya Vishnu is one silly individual. As far as the catholic churches are concerned we have a parish council and all funds are accounted and budgeted for. All money is spent and we are always in need of additional funds. In case you find unaccounted and unutilised money the government can take it. Is it not sad to see millions in our country go hungry when we have billions worth of wealth hoarded in temples. Is is not not stupid to see a CM like Yeddi go about and donate more millions to these temples and mutts, which is actually tax payers money.What is this money utilised for?. Does anybody have an answer.

    Dear Dr.Divya vishnu, kollam,
    The present Puttur in south Kanara district which you may not be aware of was a solid dedicated selfless service base promoted by Rev. Fr. Monsgr. Antony Patrao who collected money from around the world and almost rural area people were capable to educate themselves well with least college fees charged and now they are employed in India and overseas.

    Those college lecturers were mostly, Brahmins and other Hindu people employed. Off course Christians also were employed. NEARLY A CENTURY, ONLY ONE CHURCH WAS WITHSTANDING AT PUTTUR AND HE NEVER BUILT CHURCHES NOW ONLY RECENTLY CHRISTIANS BUILD TWO OTHER CHURCHES AND THIS MONEY WAS ONLY FROM CHRISTIANS AND NOT FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

    The Rev. Father Monsgr., Antony Patrao who built at puttur since 1965 onwards:
    1) Mai de dues elementary school puttur.
    2) St. Victors girls high school puttur
    3) St. Philomena's Boys high school philonagar puttur.
    4) St. Philomenas college Philonagar Putur
    5) St joseph's hospital Puttur.
    Neither the government nor the public paid the money. Rev. Patrao begged in foreign countries and build all those institutions.
    This is for your information.
    Due to the powerful base put forward by rev Patrao the rural people were capable to educate well with pride and with good etiquette.

Now help the SC, ST and other tribes of India. There is a big Hindu community in India in severe need. If Hindus claim that Christians convert Hindus by giving money! Now you can prevent and root out conversion completely, If you say that Christians convert Hindus by giving money.

If there are any rare collectables, let them be kept in a safe place to see for the  public. Other items must be sold for the highest price and help the poor and needy people of the society with proper accountability.

    Hello, I am a converted Christian. I did so for some benefit. (1) Hinduism is the 3rd largest religion in the world. But Tirupati is the richest religious place in the world and the crowd that comes to Tirupati annually is the largest in any religious place in the world. (2) Now this Kerala Temple is surely to surpass Tirupati in terms of wealth (though not in terms of crowd) (3) It seems, if many big temples in India, if explored, will compete with each other for richness

    Thus Hinduism is all set to be the richest religion in the world. I want to reconvert to Hinduism. But my friends say that Hinduism never allows conversion and a person is HIndu only by birth. Can any hindu give me any suggestion?

    Who look after all these people??? From where this money comes??? From the government? It is the generous Christians offer this money.

    It doesn,t mean hindu temples are not spending the money for chairity.  They do charity only by seeing astrology so that the given money come back to them once again so that they do not loose the charity.

    True, British looted India is a total myth churned out by Indian propaganda machines, this find is just from a single temple and there are lakhs of temples in India, Thank God that at least British ruled India for last 175 years whereby so many unwanted social evil of Indian society were removed, British were forced to give Independence to India because it was becoming big burden to the already war crippled economy of Britain more over the Rich Indian " Freedom Fighters" who knew exactly the potential of India and were playing politics to get the slice of the pie, I have spoken to many old persons who were born at least 30 years pre-independence,from the last 35 to 40 years and all were unified in one comment that they had enjoyed the security,reliability,and justice those were provided during the rule of British, It is so sad to see the quotes of Sir Winston Church Hill (" Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues and freebooters.

    All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles.") has unfortunately become true during present time, at last the truth has started emerging from the enveloped darkness of lies and deceit filled closet and hopefully see the light of the day!

It should not be only hindu temples which come under this act. 2. Institutions like MES should allow children coming from any religion to study in their institutions. At present there are no opportunities in kerala for majority caste to get one admission in professional colleges. Majority is blackmailed by minority 3.

    The fact that how sincerely Travancore’s Hindu Rajas were looking after public wealth is a mattter of pride for every Indian to save for the future. At the same time this should be an eye opener to the So called new generation finance ministers like Pranab Mukherjee, Chidambaram. (Our PM is not counted since he is not aware )who only sphere head wasting public money by wrong budgeting, misusing funds, allocate money for the projects which will give maximum bribes, take loan from international financial organizations like ADB, World bank and put public in to debt trap and even these days not exposing corrupt people who deposit money in swiss bank.

    Each and every indian citizen should pledge today to bring back the glory we lost and vote only for those who will do something good for the public welfare. The government, with the aid of some reliable personalities, should make an inventory of these treasures and perhaps use part of it for not only upkeep of the ancient Padmanabhaswamy temple, but also needy ancient temples within the state. some portion can also be allocated for various welfare programmes of the government under strict vigilance of a committee. The picture is also wrong, how can a Buddha's idol be found in the Hindu temple?? Pseudo's will have a issue even with this.

    BELIEVE IT OR NOT.....only 10% of money (that too belongs to poor people)is accounted in India.This resulted heavy loss of revinue reciepts. Hence budget for developments are restricted in Rich India. 90% of Indian wealth is treasured in Temples & trusts...? Govt. should find out who are the benificiaries of these large unaccounted funds and bring out immediate laws & regulations to account these funds before this wealth is transferred to unknown destinations

    Indeed, India is a great and rich country where majority of its citizens are poor baring most of the politicians and religious trust. The Foreign Rulers be it Mughals or British have looted our country and the legacy continues with our native corrupt politicians looting our wealth and keeping it outside our country. Hence, we should understand that now are own people have made it convenient to the Bankers or Real Estate Lobby in the Foreign country
    by voluntarily transferring the amount, without giving them the trouble of marketing or visiting our country for looting our country's money.

Most of the readers forget that under Krishna Deva Raya rule in Karnataka,gold and silver were being sold on street like peanut.Somanatheshwara temple was looted 17 times by Mohd Ghazni.Mr.Joseph..Who looted KOHINOOR CROWN ? Where was Crown found ?

    GREAT FIND-
    Probably to save from other Kings & invaders of other lands the kings of that time hid their wealth in Temples under complicated locking system even for todays generation & experts.
    The theory of All our ancient treasures, vedic literatures were stolen & taken away by foreigners is proved wrong by this find.
    Few months back on renovation of a temple the masons found in a room without any doors, huge bars of gold & silver, valued into crores as well.
    There are many more burried treasures in India yet to be found. Only renovations of old temples might bring them to surface as well, bringing back the Golden Glory of Ancient India.
    A Historical Find of Modern Era.

    Nagesh Nayak wss not wrong. Whatever the wealth found in Kerala or further it may be available in other places also, shows the richness of ancient India. Undoubtadly many Mughal kings and British looted the most it. Still we should appriciate the fact that inspite of there was no Banks those days, our people were managed to the preserve some part these valuables from foriegn robbers.

Supreme court please to order to distribute the jewels to poor people's daughters who could not arrange marriage for want of jewels. As once said by late Sri C.Subramanian (Former central minister), all poor people are having right to natural wealth, it is high time to do real justice to poor people. Thanks

    Under present scenario, the richest God considered to be Lord Anantha Padamanabha Swamy of Kerala,once assumed Trupathi as richest.

    I think the portion of the wealth which not carries historical value may be used for the development of society.Anyway keeping such a huge wealth intact for quite some time demonstrates Indian's theory of SATYAVANTHARU,NEETHIVANTHARU AND NYAYAVANTHARU.
