Fw - Beware of Anti-Vedic Moves in Guruvayoor .

[Guest guest]

Please find below, an interesting article published recetly in a

devotional group .

 

 

Dear all,

 

As a humble Hindu-devotee, I am shocked to see that some

opportunistic Hindus are trying to force the entry of non-Hindus

like Yesudas inside Guruvayoor temple . They appear to be following

the Christian culture where the Idol is inert and everything is

decided by the clergy and influential men.

 

It is an absolute truth that, Sree Krishna & #8217;s deity in the Guruvayoor

temple is Living God . The Lord doesn & #8217;t require His duties to be

performed by mortal men .

 

In this regard , please note the following :

 

1. Lord Sri Krishna is Sattva-guna personified and His worship

in deity-form is different from that of other Devatas. The

functioning of the sacred Guruvayoor temple is based on the

procedures established by Aadi Sankara. Sree Guruvayoorappan had

instructed him personally to put in place, necessary systems to

ensure His constant presence on the Deity. The related rituals and

rules are unique and applicable only for Guruvayoor temple .

 

2. According to the above, the decision of authorized Tantri (

Puzhakkkal Chennar Illam & #8217;s Senior most Namboodirippad) is the final

word in all matters concerning the Guruvayoor temple. This authority

has been confirmed by Supreme Court of India. Numerous lawsuits were

filed by publicity-crazy, un-believers asking for entry of no-Hindus

in Guruvayoor temple but all of them were dismissed . Recently, one

such demonic Hindu was ridiculed by the Calicut court, for raising

an irrelevant issue ( seeking entry of non-Hindus) for the sake of

publicity.

 

3. Guruvayoorappan is not a passive Deity . The Lord is in full

control of the temple . He has systems in place like instructions

to Tantri / Priests during dreams (Swapna-darsana) , revelation

during 'Devaprasna' etc, to convey His additional instructions, as

and when required. Any one violating Him would be pay dearly for his

offence .

 

4. If Lord Guruvayoorappan wanted Yesudas to enter Guruvayoor

temple , the Lord Himself would have arranged for it .

 

5. Yesudas is a great singer and he has many good qualities .

However, he is not a not a Hindu . Yesudas is actually a

Christian believer and his wife and children too follow Christian

faith . But unlike other Christians , Yesudas worships

Guruvayoorappan also as One of the forms of God . For sure ,

Guruvayoorappan is not his Upasana-moorti (Principal deity) . On His

part, the merciful Guruvayoorappan has generously rewarded Yesudas ,

for whatever bhakti towards Him.

 

6. On the other hand , the Lord & #8217;s favourite devotee-singer Chembai

Vaidayanatha Bhagavartar ( Guru of yesudas) was fully loyal to the

Lord ; and he surrendered most of his earnings for the service of the

Lord .Gurvayoorappan interacted with Chembai on a personal level

(Listed here below some true incidents taken from the biography of

Chemabai by LRV ) .

 

MIRACULOUS TREATMENT BY GURUVAYOORAPPAN ( 1931)

 

In the year 1931 on an Ekadasi day , Chembai was about to commence a

music concert in the presence of King Samutiri at Calicut . Just

before starting the concert, there was a sudden change in his voice

and he could not even speak. It was diagnosed as a chronic throat

ailment and frantic treatments followed . Unfortunately , in spite of

continuing for a full year , all the high-tech treatments failed to

produce any difference .

 

A heartbroken Chembai finally came to Guruvayoor temple and stood

before the Lord of Guruvayur with tears in his eyes, asking, OH LORD!

HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME TO THIS EXTENT, SO THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN BEAR TO

HEAR MY VOICE RECITE A VERSE IN YOUR PRAISE. Suddenly an unknown

Brhamin reached there and after prescribing the formula of a new

herbal medicine to Chembai, left unnoticed. This particular medicine

was quickly prepared at the Poomulli Mana. Soon after taking this

medicine, Chembai & #8217;s ailment was cured. His voice became better than

ever before. The restoration of his voice was by the grace of Sree

Guruvayurappan .

 

After this miracle, Chembai took a vow to sing in front of Sree

Guruvayoorppan on every Sukla paksham & #8217; Ekadasi day .

 

POWER OF FAITH [1939]

 

Chembai was about to start a performance at the palace in Kallikotai.

Suddenly he discovered that his voice was 'frozen'. He was puzzled

since he had no problem of any kind earlier that day. The sound of

the tambura sruti seemed to gain in volume as Chembai pondered the

reason. Suddenly, a question arose in his mind. He asked someone

seated nearby whether it was Sukla paksham after the new moon. This

was the month of Kartika and it was Chembai's vow to offer musical

prayers at the Sree Krishna temple in Guruvayur on the Ekadasi day

of the 'sukla paksham' in the month of Kartika every year ( As

thanksgiving to Lord Sree Krishna for curing his illness) .

 

When a reference to an almanac confirmed that it was Sukla paksham

Ekadasi, Chembai explained the matter to the host and requested

permission and help to go to Guruvayoor and fulfill his commitment.

The host obliged. Chembai speeded to Guruvayoor in a car, offered his

apologies and prayers to Sree Krishna.

 

He had no problem singing; he had recovered his voice fully. He sang

many songs and long until he was satisfied that the Lord had forgiven

his lapse.

 

He sang at Kallikkotai the next evening, without any problem.

 

THE SALVATION (16-OCTOBER-1974)

 

Poozhikunnam Sri Krishna temple is situated on the banks of the

Nila river. After finishing the music concert there, Chembai said

to his aides : PLEASE TAKE ME TO THE SANCTUM SANCTORUM .Two people

held his hands and led him to the door of the sanctum.

 

He sat down on the floor, shut his eyes, and prayed for a few

minutes. Then he called out to the deity in a supplicating tone:

KRISHNA! GURUVAYOORAPPA ! I AM 80. YOU HAVE FULFILLED ALL MY DESIRES.

WHY DO YOU STILL MAKE ME GO ABOUT WITH THIS BODY? WHY DON'T YOU CALL

ME [TO YOU]?

 

When he got up, after receiving the prasadam, and giving dakshina to

the priest, Rama Marar said:

 

Bhagavatar will live for the full span of 125 years.

 

Chembai laughed aloud and retorted : You don't poke your head in it.

All is settled between me and Guruvayoorappan.

 

He returned to his friend O.M.V's nearby residence. He washed his

feet and face, and sat down for prayers in the verandah. After a few

minutes, it was noticed that his head was sliding to one side.

Somebody supported him, and slowly eased him down to lie on the

floor. He was perspiring profusely. Neelakantan Namboodiripad, who

knows Marana lakshana [signs of death] went near to examine him. He

looked only for a few seconds, and called out: " Everything is over

for Bhagavatar. "

 

An APPEAL - The religious matters of Vedic Religion must be left

alone to those faithful Hindus who live according to Vedic

scriptures . If & #8216;faithless Hindus & #8217; continue to tamper with Vedas,

India's end is not far away.

I too agree with Jinesh, the hurdles late Kalamandalam Hyderali

faced during his younger days and the people who oppose Yesudas is

something not to be encouraged. Instead of making their mind enter

into the world of Universal religion our orthodox people are driving

them out and creating hatred in their mind about Hindutva

I agree with Jinesh.

 

Our religion and culture has accepted everyone with an open heart -

this had had good and bad results.

 

however in the current scenario, we should encourage more and more

non hindus to believe, accept and adopt the hindu religion. so should

we also encourage our youth to get more religious, which i think they

are getting to.

The law that no non-Hindu can enter Guruvayur Temple is a law by the

Devaswam board, Guruvayurappan didn't make it. Denial of a believer

in a temple is the biggest sin a Hindu can do, either on political or

on religious reasons.

 

The argument of the author in Kesari is childish. We all know that

Yesudas visits Sabarimala every year, that is not based on any song

he sang. He visits Mookambika every year; it is not for fame. His

devotion to Guruvayurappan is much more sincere than some of our

politicians show. It may be bigger than any one of us has. Changing

religion officially will offend the Christians, which of course is

not fair from his side (though Hindus will be happy by that). On the

contrary, we have no hesitation to accept the donations by non-Hindus

to temples, which we seldom talk about!

On one side, people are converting Hindus to other religions. On the

other, we are denying others to enter temples, just because they

don't have a certificate to 'prove' their belief! The question of

allowing Yesudas in to Guruvayur temple is not the matter of

converting one Christian to Hindu religion by certificate, it is a

matter of believes. I think then there is no reason to deny him.

 

If that is not the case, we are not talking about the religion, we

are talking politics, which is unfair!

 

Regards,

Jinesh.
