Hi all,

 

I have been away the last 3 weeks and just returned, and I have noticed some interesting topics discussed. Thank you for all the information. They were all wonderful read.

 

Now, this e-mail caught my eyes. Is this true? Only last week someone told me about the Mamiyoor Temple. I wasn't aware.

 

Why is Guruvayoor darshan more complete when we visit Sri Sankara at Mamiyoor Temple?

 

Hare Krishna!

!!! HARI AUM !!!

 

Mythology is when Guru and Vayu was looking for a

divine place to consecrate the floating Krishna idol

brought by them from the sea of Dwaraka and reached

the present Guruvayoor it was already sanctified by

Lord Shiva.

 

To accomodate Krishna he moved to the present

Mammiyoor and since then all visits to Guruvayoorappan

is considered complete only after visiting Mamiyoor

too.

 

Regards

!! Sri Rama Jayam !!

Deva Guru (Brihaspati) along with his disciple Vayudeva (god of air), found a place which was recommended by Lord Paramashiva. Thus, Guru and Vayu installed this deity and Paramashiva named the place as Guruvayoor. And the deity is now known as Guruvayoorappan. The idol is carved out a stone called 'Pathala Anjana Shila' and is utmost sacred. The place selected for the installation was suitably sacred by the presence of Lord Shiva. The place was already sacred owing to the presence of Lord Paramashiva. He was worshiping Lord Maha Vishnu under the waters of the 'Rudratheertham' (the sacred pond near the temple). Later, Lord Shiva emerged out of the waters when the Prachethas, son of King Pracheenabarhis came in search of a place to worship Lord Maha Vishnu. He then revealed the hymn 'Rudra Geetha' to Prachethas and then the Prachethas worshiped Lord Maha Vishnu for another ten thousand years staying in the 'Rudratheertham'. After the installation of the idol of Mahavishnu by Guru and Vayu, Lord Shiva moved to the nearby Mammiyoor temple. The Mammiyoor temple has even more longer history, and dates back well in time before the Guruvayoor temple.

According to the stories, Shri Aadi Shankara who is believed to have extra ordinary powers was once travelling by air from Kalady to Shringeri. Even he, who never believed in the worshiping of idols, was forced to come down while crossing Guruvayoor. To appease Guruvayoorappan he worshiped the deity by eight 'Shloka' (four lines of poetry). This is now known as the 'Govindashtakam'. He then spent 41 days worshiping Guruvayoorappan. The daily rituals of worship during the Mandalam period were conceived by Shri AdiSankara at that time.

Mammiyoor temple houses two adjacent shrines of Lord Sankaranarayana (or HariHara) and Lord Shiva. Mammiyoor and Guruvayoor Sree Krishna temple are linked to each other in several aspects and it is therefore considered auspicious to worship them on the same day.

Moved by this story, Janamejaya proceeded to Guruvayur temple where he observed austere devotion for four months. In the night he would go to Mammiyoor and bow before Shiva. One night while asleep he felt the lord's healing touch over his body and his pain was no more! He returned to his kingdom elated singing praises for the Lord. Yes, you too could prouder up on the story and arrive at your conclusions.

I conclude this piece of writing with a famous devotional song on Lord Ayyappa by Sri Jayachandran as follows -

"Mammiyoorappane thozhuthidathe Guruvayoor darshanam poornamanO...

Maalikapurathamme vanangidathe Malayile darshanam saphalamanO...

sabarimalayile darshanam saphalamaanO ! "

 

Hare Krishna

Hare Rama
