Probably Krishna may be happier with some Avil (beaten rice) rather than gold! I wonder if this 'rich' Kuchela (Mr. Menon) got his wishes!
Hopefully, Krishna will distribute the gold among the poor roaming around that temple.
Very well said...Then again Krishna takes whatever his devotees give...and keeps nothing....
Dont know how many people this guy has helped .Feel it is better to help some one who needs help with this money than giving Gold to God . It is known thing that "Service to humanity is greater than service to God"
I am of the opinion that nobody can "donate". We can only return what is His. Compared to some people who do not give a rupee to a beggar this type of offering to the Supreme Lord is most auspicious. I have argued with some people (non-hindus and anti-brahmins) who complained what the need was for the Sankaracharya to give a golden "headwear" to Srinivasa! Giving such offerings to the Lord bestow on us immense benefits. Since the Lord Narayana is the Lord of all (insects, plants, germs, worms, humans et. al.), any offering to the Lord is equivalent to offering it to every being and more beneficial.
