Theft at Ram Mandir sparks debate on faith

Theft of donations at Ram Mandir in Ayodhya by those appointed to count contributions raises questions about God's power.

Bhagavad Gita (13.23) states the Supreme Lord is observer and permitter, not a preventer of wrongful acts, to preserve karma and dharma.

Vedas and Puranas view tirtha as a place where the human heart is tested, not a citadel for wealth accumulation.

The thief loses viveka (discriminating faculty), while God loses nothing as He owns nothing.

Manusmriti asserts dharmo rakshati rakshitah: dharma protects those who protect it; abandoning dharma removes its shelter.
