Travancore heritage.. Proud!!

Hi friends, It's a long time since I have blogged.. These days were somewhat tedious & monotonous with the routines, that made me stay away from my blog, though I love to write. I think it's time to pen down something here right now.  These days, wherever I go, let it be a bus stop, let it be my home, be its the media, Or even at an Out-audit., the talks are about Sreepadmanabha & it's treasures.. Till recent times, the richest deity in the world was Lord Thirupathi Venkateshwara having Gold & Non Gold assets worth Rs 32,000 Crores, A Single day has placed Our Lord Sreepadmanabha on the top having assets worth at least 1,00,000 Crores.. 

First of all, let me remember the Lovely Travancore Royal family, which preserved these Charming inestimable treasures, especially in this 2G Spectrum world. Travancore Gold Coins, East India Company coins, Gold Ornaments, Diamonds, precious stones, Gold Vessels, Silver utensils, Golden Vishnu Vigraha & yet another precious things which shows light to Our Vibrant past.. I would like to show my proud respect and hearty appreciation to One & all of the Royal family, who have kept our Culture with pride & cherish the Royal rule which had kept much for the future.

The next question that arise is how shall we deal with the discovery of treasure of this much worth in the today's democratic world. Opinions are flowing from different corners of the Society which demands the utilization of the assets for the benefit of the Society. As usual, Some of the opinions contradict one another. The time has changed., replacing the Royal rule, it's a democratic nation now. The Conventional religious believers consider it as Lord Sreepadmanabha's assets. According to them, these treasures have to be kept Safe in the temple, as they were till date. The humanistic belief expects the Government to take of these treasures as it belongs to Indian Republic. A different view says "Rather than putting these treasures in the black hands of Govt, it'll be better to entrust this to a new temple trust with the participation of the current palace trust & at the same time in the Supervision of the Govt." 

Opinions are Ones own right, One must have a strong reason which makes him believe in his views. Probably, that reason may not be acceptable for a man of different perspective. It'll be in Good Spirit to foster these treasures as the Gifts of Travancore heritage & Culture, which is the best thing we could gift Our future generations with, just as Our ancestors did.. Also, it's right to utilize these endless assets for the benefit of poor people.. Also we can't leave the miseries of poor unseen, while we keep Crores 'Locked'..

I'm not a person to tell an Opinion here.. I'm just an youngster.. I'm expecting the Society to decide itself how to deal here..  with all it's experience & maturity. Let the Sreepadmanabha decide, what to happen.. Everything apart, we, the Youngsters are really proud.. Proud of Travancore, proud of Our ancestors.. Proud of Our Heritage!!
