A burglar who had taken Lord Krishna’s gems from the Gopinath Temple in Gopinathpur, Odisha, returned them after 9 years with a message explaining that ever since he had taken them, he had been plagued by nightmares.
It seems that the man had lately read the Bhagavad Gita and had come to his senses. The presiding deities Krishna and Radha owned the priceless jewels, which were theirs to keep.
The burglar, who sought to remain nameless, stated in a message, “throughout 2014, (from) a Yagna at Yagna Shala (where the rite of Yagna takes place), I had taken the ornaments for which I experienced a lot of troubles throughout these 9 years and I relinquish these.
