about my passion for Lord guruvayoorappan.
OM NAMO NARAYANAYA.......
"shanthakaram bhujakashayanam
padmanabham suresham
vishwadharam Gaganasadrushyam
Meghavarnam Subhangam
Lakshmikantham kamalanayanam
yogibhirdhyanagamyam
vande vishnum bhavabhaya haram sarvalokeikanatham"
May be since a native of Changanasherry (Madhya thiruvathankoor) I was spaced apart from Guruvayoor Kshetram for about a decade.. But our land is blessed by krishna bhagavan present here at VEZHAKKATTU SREEKRISHNA TEMPLE indeed.As circumstances made me to settle in Trichur dist. I tried to explore all the temples in and around counting Guruvayoor.I had an obscure idea regarding the temple as an impact of my childhood visits.And the first visit gave me an impression rather than devotion for Lord Krishna...but as time passed I got addicted to SreeGUruvayoorappan and believe me I will still feel a difference in atmosphere as soon as i enter the temple.
I feel lil what to say nostalgic or like that after that darshan.
This feeling constantly kept hurting me esp. during journey back to hostel..Lord Krishna devotion is of special kind that it attracts one closer and closer once you get to go anywhere near."Namariyathe ee naavil vannal pinne vittu piriyatha Narayana" oorthu pokum!!!
Guruvayoor temple is certainly an outstanding Kshetra in Kerala.Naturally many controversial issues are tagged to this temple,let Lord Guruvayoorappan solve all these issues.
The kshetra is associated with lots off AITIHYAS including Vilwamangalam swamiar,Manavedan Samoothiri,MAnjula,Adi Shankaracharyar, poonthanam,Kurooramma etc. The idol was once worshipped by Sri Krishna himself In (MAHAVISHNU sankalpa) dwaraka and through Arjunan and Udhavar reached hands of Vayu who with the help of Devaguru Brihaspati found a spot for prathista.kshetra was constructed by Vishwakarama with a distinct measure code.

I see before my eyes a glowing light like the KAyambu pushpam. Because of that I am filled with great amruthAnandam. In the midst of that light I see a beautiful lad whose childhood has just finished and youth begun. This lad is surrounded by Naradar who is enjoying paramAnandam and is rOmAnjitham, other sages. The Upanisads which have taken the form of beautiful damsels surround the lad in a circle.
