[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Self experienced incident

[Guest guest]

Dear Giri,

Radhe Krishna!

 

Mysterious are His ways to shower blessings on His devotees.

 

The first time I went to Guruvayoor when I was working in Bombay and

coming to kerala on short leave, self, wife, child and f-i-law landed

in front of Guruvayoor temple at 12 Noon sharp. Unfortunately that

was the time temple was closing after the Uccha Pooja in those days, in

1962. Temple door had already closed very punctually. We were at a

total loss, and praying for a darshan somehow, as I had to depart by

the evening train back to Bombay.

 

One devotee standing with me told me. "Sami ottum pedikkanda.

Guruvayoorappan darsanam kotukkathe areyum vidilla. Nokkikkonde

irikkoo. Nada thorakkum, darsanavum kittum". Suddenly the temple

door was opened by the chief priest who had gone inside the main temple

for something. After opening, he was searching for something inside

keeping the door open, which helped us to get an extended darsanam.

 

We thanked the Lord for His mercy and the devotee who was with us for

advising us.

 

Such are His ways. Hail unto Him!

Dear Devotees,

Although I am not conversant in the temple literature as I was born

and brought up outside Kerala .However as a humble prayer to the

Almighty ,Lord Guruvayoor, I would like to narrate my

experiences.Please pardon me for any terminlogy I would have

written

wrongly.

During the last vacations when I and fatehr and father in law on my

way to Shabari mala ,went to guruvayoor to offer our prayers . It

was around 12.00 in the afternoon . Standing in the center of the

temple with folded hands, I was praying to Lord " next time when can

I see you " ( as I had to leave after the visit to Shabarimala) .I

felt as being told not to worry. After my darshan as we were about

to leave A person came by and gave 3 tickets for the annadanam meal.

They were leaving the temple. As if lord heard me ,we had the

prasadam and when we came after the meal , a devotee called us and

said why dont you have one more darshan before you go. We were

Swami's at that time. After meal darshan that too at Lord

Guruvayoor's place never would have thought in my life. But I could

not resist .No queue was there. It was as if my prayers were being

answered right then and there. Went inside the temple and there I

felt as if Guruvayoorappan was smiling and saying are you happy. No

rush and ample time was given to pray . I could not belive my luck .

 

Truly God was really translating my wishes.

 

May Lord guruvayoor bless you all .

 

Thank you for creating this group.
