Nobody returns from a temple, especially from Guruvayur, without making an

offering, however small that might be. An offering is quite often misinterpreted

as a bribe given to the deity for a favour. Actually, it is the renunciation

of a devotee, as the real test of one’s devotion. The Lord accepts whatever is

given in devotion or “Bhakthi” and rejects everything, however expensive,

offered without it. Thousands throng to Guruvayur daily to make their offerings-

as an expression of their gratitude and devotion for the cure of their diseases,

mental peace, success, profit, progeny – the list is endless. The devotees

offer today almost anything from flowers to gold. Rare offerings are displayed

at the Devaswom museum while the other items are archived.

(MEANING): Oh Lord ! Your attributeless form is difficult to

comprehend and meditate upon . Your Suddha sattva-svarUpa archA form

is very distinctly visible to my human eye here in Your Sannidhi.

 

 

 

This shining archA form of Yours constituted entirely by Suddha sattvam

and is like the waves of the ocean of nectar.Therefore , I have

taken refuge at Your superior archA form , which is the abode of

anantha kalyANa guNams and is the most effective in attracting

my mind.

 

Oh Lord of GuruvAyUr ! please save me from all the samsAric

and physical diseases !
