Hare Krishna ! Guruvayurappa !

Dear Gopi,

Lord Balarama set His Lotus Feet at various holy

places towards the end of Dwapara Yuga - which is just

over 5000 years ago (we are only some 5000+ years into

Kali yuga). Not to forget, the installation of the

vigraha of Sri Guruvayurappan was also done (by Guru &

Vayu) some 5000+ years ago (beginning of Kali yuga),

after Lord Krishna returned to the spiritual world.

So KERALA was very much there, alright !!

[Does anyone have any scriptural (Purana) references

regarding Parasurama's creation of Kerala? When this

took place etc... KVG, Mother Saroja - perhaps you

could help?]

The Bhagavatam also mentions that Lord Balarama also

set His holy lotus feet in Kannyakumari.

-sriram

Yha.. I beleive it... as i am a beleiver of Sreekrishna. But our histories are not correctly recoreded, and according to available kerela history... mmm... is it not this place united afetr somewhere 1950s. Before that there was so many sorupams and all ruled by small kings. Before that this area was ruled by tamil kings and called as "malainadu". Anyway, thats great that this part of earth is more valuable as most of our Gods incarnations traveled here as mentioned in the puranas. but just i had a doubt that is this piece of land mentioned as "Keralam", if it is, i feel great too.. as a example for the truthfulness of our vedhic texts as a prediction.

Dear all,

Radhe Krishna!

The reference to Keralam in Balararama's pilgrimage is correct.

Keralam was in existence even before Parasurama, but it was engulfed by

the sea and was retrieved by Parasurama. This episode is not

mentioned in Bhagavatam, but Bhattatiri has clearly said it.in dasakam

36, last sloka.

"Nyasya-asthrani Mahendra-bhubriti tapas-tanvan punar-marjitham

Gokarnavadhi saagarena dharaneem drishtwa arthithah thapaseih.

Dhyaateswasa-dhrita-analaastra-chakitam sindhum sruva-kshepanat

Utsaryoddhruta-keralo Bhrigupate Vatesa samraksha Mam!

(“O Lord of Guruvayoor who incarnated as the chief of the Bhrigu clan

!While performing penance on the Mahendra mountainafter abandoning all

weapons,on seeing that the entire land up to Gokarnam had been engulfed

by the sea, and again, having been requested by the ascetics, pushing

back the sea which was frightened by the fire missile procured by

meditation, may You, who did bring up the land of Kerala by throwing an

oblation-ladle, deign to protect me!")

The episode of Parasurama's retrieving Keralam, I am told, is mentioned

in the Brahmanda-puranam.

Love

KVG.
