Pages torn off from holy Ramayan in an alleged case of sacrilege in Labasa

Listen to this article:

The Vunicuicui Shiv Mandir in management in Labasa have reported an alleged case of sacrilege at their place of worship, with pages from the holy Ramayan torn off.

On a social media page named Vunicuicui Shiv Mandir, it is stated that “the devotees of Vunicuicui Shiv Mandir pray for the lost souls who have conspired and done this shameful deed.”

“Every faith tradition holds its scriptures as a source of wisdom, guidance, and spiritual solace for millions.”

“When you disrespect these texts, you aren’t just attacking paper and ink—you’re wounding the hearts of those who find meaning, hope, and divine connection in them.”

The social media post adds freedom of expression is a fundamental right, but true strength lies in using that freedom responsibly.

“If you disagree with a religion, engage in dialogue. If you seek change, educate rather than desecrate.”

“Sacred texts, whether the Ramayana, Bible, Quran, Gita, have shaped civilizations, inspired justice, and comforted souls for centuries.”

“Disrespecting them only deepens divisions.”

Instead, let’s build a world where differing beliefs are met with curiosity, not contempt.
