Temple Treasure - Saga Continues....

Sri Padmanabha Swamy Temple has been in the lime light for quite some time for the temple treasures kept in its coffers. There is one more to be opened yet. There had been a 'Deva Prasnam' (ritual to find out the position of deity on these matters). Declared results indicates that deity is not happy with opening of coffers. It is not His desire to account & assess these materialistic wealth. It is seen in the 'Deva Prasnam' that if the last coffer is opened, many bad things can happen to members of the team opening coffer. The Royal family who are the chief trustees of the temple are also bound to suffer. Some kind of mitigatory measures like various 'Puja' s have been prescribed. I am just wondering where all these things are leading us to.
It seems in legal circle, Deity of a temple is considered a legal entity & can have lawyer(s) too. In any case trustees have lawyers to plead the case. The million rupee/dollar question is what happens to the treasure !

To quote from bible try Luke 20:25
