Thondanur - Part-2: Sri Parthasarathi / Goplalakrishna Temple

SrihiRespected Bhagavathas,

http://www.pbase.com/svami/parthasarathy-gopalakrishna-temple This is the

Second temple I am presenting before you. The Temple ofLord Parthasarathi &

Venugopala Swamy Temple.This temple is just opposite to Nambhi Narayana Temple.

A beautiful Compact Rajagopuram welcomes you, Then you enter the temple and you

feel as if you have entered a Tamil Nadu Temple. It is very big and has a huge

complex. Here Perumal Moolavar is Parthasarathi flanked by Sri and Bhoo

Devi.Moolavar is in Veetruruntha Thiru Kolam, You will get mesmerised by the

beauty of the Moolavar.Then Moovavar Thayar is Yadava Nayaki.Uthsavar is

Rukmini,Sathyabhama Sahitha Sri Gopala Krishna. Everywhere Gopala Kirshana's

right thiruvadi will be in the front but here it is the left thiruvadi, which

is in the front. It is said that He is doing Thribangi NAtya and hence, left

thiruvadi is in dancing pose. It is said that Yudistra and Brigu Muni did the

Prathistai of this temple.Picture details:1002438 is Moolavar Parthasarathi

and Sathyabhama 1002441 Pada Sevai of Uthsavar and observe our Mudu Krishna is

in Thribangi Nruthya Pose. It is the speciality.1002442Is Moolavar Thayar :

Yadhava Nayaki.Prathistai by Yudhistra and Brighu Muni.Eventhough the

Archaeological Survey of India has taken the upkeep of the temple, not much

resource to do kainkaryam. The condition is slightly better than Nambhi Narayan

Temple. Enough Lighting is there; The priest is surviving with Rs.50/- per month

given byGovernment of Karnataka (Slightly better salary than Nambhi Narayan

Temple). I appeal to all the Visitors to Melkote , to just drop in to this

beautiful Place named Thondanur and see these three beautiful temple and also

see the Lake built by Udayavar . Tipu Sultan Called this Lake as Moti Talab ,

it is said Tipu dropped his Pearl necklace in the middle of the lake while

doing boating, then even thougth the pearl neclace was deep in the water he

could see it through naked eyes through the crystal clear Water. Hence he

called it Moti Talab. I spoke with Bhattar who is looking after this temple

and also Yoganrusimha and Udayavar temple which is very close to this two

temple and he informed that He needs Rs.250 /- per day to perform Pooja

,Naivedhyam and pushpa Kainkaryam for Lord. I am sure you all will come forward

and do something for this temple. Our Bretherns living abroad can take up the

Pooja for each month and get the Lords Blessings. Those who want to help please
