Bihar: 2,600-yr-old Mahavir idol stolen from Jamui temple

[Kashmiri Pandit]

An ancient idol of Lord Mahavira weighing around 250 kg and worth several crores was stolen from a Jain temple near Lachuar village in Jamui late on Friday night. The idol is said to be around 2,600 years old.

Jamui police said the theft took place at a famous Jain temple at Dipakarhar village under Khaira police station. The black stone statue at the temple, which is under the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), had no protection.

Jamui SP Jayant Kant told The Sunday Express, “The Mahavir idol made of black stone is surely of high antique value. However, the concern is more about the sentiments of people than its monetary value”.

Asked if the police suspected any big gang being behind the idol theft, the SP said that they had detained some people. “We have some leads but it is too early to narrow down on names or gang,” he said. The SP added that the temple is situated in the village surrounded by forests.

What a misery people worshiping Lord Mahavira for protection and the Lord can't protect his idol, you people should understand this.

Only Stupid people think , We worship Idol .
For those who aren't spiritually raised , Idol is there to connect to the Nirgun Brahman ( The Timeless , Birthless , Deathless , Ageless , Quality and Quantity less , Feature less ALMIGHTY )

Does your Kaba comes with anti ballistic missile defense system, if someone wants to take a dig at it?

Idol is for those who are under the influence of Matter or material manifestation .
For those who are spiritually inclined , There is no need of Idols . We have Yoga and Books for that .

I am talking about the idol when you believe in timeless ageless etc deity, there is no comparison of Kaaba with your little idol which can be stolen.

Bas, tune rok liya mujhe.

Nope !

You got the wrong Idea .

From UNMANIFEST we get Manifest .
Manifest gives birth to Matter and Energy .
Matter gives birth to Universe . Energy gives Birth to Beings .

From Energy we get , Brahma , Vishnu and Shiva .

Rest who appeared on Earth are material manifestations .

Bas, tune rok liya mujhe.

koi ni chill, I wonder if Lalu had his eyes on this idol? Mauke pe chauka to nahi laga gaya?
