Happy Guruvayur Temp Fest


Today, 08032017, the Moon tenants Pushya, Pooyam, in the solar month of Aquarius or Kumbha and is the beginning of the Festival at Guruvayur.

This is another unique event in  Guruvayur.  Mythology has a function. Myths are not superstitions. Mythology adumbrates philosophic verities. Mythology keeps different people, culture and the nation itself as one unit. These events are not broken at any point in time. To the rational question, why are these events so important, we have to say these things perrtain to the Lord and Faith and cannot be found out by Rationalism !

In every man, there exists a responsiveness to Ultimate Reality, a super conscious reminiscence, of the truths and glories the Soul had known and would like to know again and again !

Amongst all rituals in Guruvayur, most exciting is this Elephant Run. Now many temples are imitating and have started Elephant Races !

jnana Yoga and Bhakti Yoga have always fought with each other ! Our aim is not to support any, but give an integral solution to the perpetual fight betwixt Head and Heart !

A well known quote is that the Heart has its own reasons which the Head need not know of. All Religions averr that Love is greater than Intelligence.

If the HIghest Wisdom is Love, we have to move from an intellect based living to a heart centred living, thus modifying the Equation Prajnanasya Nama dheyani Bhavantu Sarvam to Premasya Nama dheyani Bhavantu Sarvam. Prajnane Pratishtitam to Preme Pratishtitam and PrAjnanam Brahma to Premam Brahma !

Not only is there a fight for supremacy between VIrtue and VIce but other fights also. Beween Conscience and Expedience. Between Head and the Heart.

Legend has it that once upon a time, the date for the temple festival arrived. Flag Hoisting concomitant with the inauguration of the Temple Festival had to be performed. Kodipoorathu Vilakku or Lamp on Flag needed elephants. Despite all arrangements, none of the elephants had arrived on the spot. The Chief Priest et al were in the horns of a dilemma and breaking a ritual was unthinkable ! Many of those present broke into tears and prayers !

Lo and behold ! At around 0300 PM, the clanging sound of chains was heard at Manjula Althara. The Zamorin and priests were all dumbfounded. Those running elephants came and stopped near the Temple, as if paying tribute to the Lord of Guruvayur ! That was the first Anayottam at Guruvayur and the tradition is carried down to this day !
