Sree Guruvayoorappan

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

I dont get Surya TV and I am not able to watch Sri

Guruvayoorappan. I had seen some episodes when we went

to Kerala. Could anyone tell me about the character (I

forgot the name) who comes in black mundu, with a

stick in hand, calling everyone as Panditha and asking

weird questions. I havent heard about such a

character.

Jai Sree Krishna

Dear Seema, I had made a post sometime back on these TV serials - but did not receive any response from anyone in this forum. The character you referred to is named "Kimvadan" and he is supposed to be Lord Siva - which is very obvious from the dialogue.These serial directors/ script writers tend to exaggerate things to attract people. It is a fact that the Lord of Mammiyoor is ever eager to protect devotees of Sri Guruvayurappan anytime from all kinds of danger. Indeed Lord Siva is the Greatest of Vaishnavas - as stated in the Srimad Bhagavatam itself. But none of the stalwart devotees such as Thirunaamaachaaryan have mentioned any such personality as Kimvadan in their works. Better not to believe in serials too much! If you do watch, try to grab the ESSENCE - rather than get stuck in the details !!Hare Krishna Guruvayurappa !-sriram======Seema Ravindran <seemawarrier wrote: Namaste, I dont get Surya TV and I am not able to watch Sri Guruvayoorappan.

!! Sri Rama Jayam !!

 

Even I admire that character the most like our Guruvayurappan in 2 forms in the serial. His name is 'KIM VADAN'; I think it means "One who asks questions". 'KIM' means "Why/How ??" which exactly match the nature of the person. has put a good flavor by projecting this character as a manifestation of Siva who likes to be a part in the divine sport of Sri Guruvayurappan. I believe he will be none other than "Mammiyoorappan !!"

 

I remember in one of the episodes Kimvadan says "Oh ! the ONE who sits within the srilakam is enjoying the place where I use to sit sometime". Who could he be none other than our "Mammiyoorappan" ?

 

Thanks for asking this question.

Om Namo Narayanaya Dear Sriramji You are right . We can't believe too much in serials . Sometimes they will add some characters to increase the quality of the serials . But the character ' Kimvadan ' is good . So we love that character . He always help the devotees of Guruvauyrappan . It is said that , Lord Shiva loves the devotees of Lord Vishnu and Lord Vishnu loves the devotees of Lord Shiva . As you said , Its better to grab all the good things from the serial and leave all the bad things . I think in life also we have to follow the same principle .But there are true stories alos in the serials. I am watching the serails to see Unni kannan , his leelas , his smile , his devotees ( Manjula , Kuroor Amma , Poonthanam ....etc) ...etc. With Prayers Meera SRIRAM SUBRAMANIAN <abheri wrote: Dear Seema, I had made a post sometime back on these TV serials - but did not receive any response from anyone in this forum.

Dear all,

Radhe Krishna!

 

Many of the stories narrated in the serials are mostly taken by the

makers from the Aithihyams or Sthala-puranams. There is no need of

verifying their accuracy, as it doesn't matter to the viewer whether

they have really taken place or not. What is important is the essence

of the episode and enhancement of our Bhakti, which they are really

intended for. In what way does it help us to know which leg of Sakuni

was lame when we see the Mahabharatam serial?

 

As Shri, Sriram has pointed out, ""It is a fact that the Lord of

Mammiyoor is ever eager to protect

devotees of Sri Guruvayurappan anytime from all kinds of danger. Indeed

Lord Siva is the Greatest of Vaishnavas - as stated in the Srimad

Bhagavatam itself. When the Prachetas came to the Rudra Theertham

for performing Tapas, Lord Siva himself came to see them as "Krishna

Bhaktas", and gave them the "Upadesam" of the "Rudra Geetham" in praise

of Lord Vishnu. There is an unwritten understanding among Krishna

Bhaktas that they should love, respect and help each other in times of

need.

 

Love

Krishna , Guruvayoorappa ! Dear Bhakthas ,

It is Krishna's grace that inspires Krishna-bhakthi related literature . Be it the ancient "Narayaneeyam" and "Geethagovindam" or the recent popular Krishna stories .

In recent times , atheism has corrupted Kerala . Demonic Veda-haters have polluted the Education system and Media with fabricated "secular" ( irreligious) literature and art . Even the sacred color "Kavi" ( saffron) has become an objectionable word . Remember the sarcastic usage "Saffronization" .

Most of the TV viewers had become addicted to demonic "mega-serials" . Even during the auspicious hours , the atmosphere used to reverberate with evil utterances , violence and cries. This "negativity" might have activated ` Bhaktha-valsala' to inspire the creation of Krishna-serials like Sree Krishna-Leela ( Asianet TV ) and Sree Guruvayoorappan ( Surya TV) . Thanks to HIS blessings , both these TV programs became immensely popular . Crores of people of all ages are enjoying the nectar of "Krishna-kathas" , every night . They all behold the "Unnikrishnas" with folded hands !!!.

When a Bhaktha-Author writes about Krishna in the mood of Bhakthi , Bhagavan appears in a literary form through the pen . We must accept it without question . Remember the legend about Melpathur and Poonthanam . When the latter incorrectly recited "Maraprabhu" , Bhagavan approved it and chastised it's critic Melpathur . There are thousands of stories and versions about Sree Krishna . It's historical proof can not be judged by any one . What is important is the `Bhakthi' , it is creating in the listener's heart.

Once , the great Ramanujacharya ( avatar or Adi Seshan) and disciples were passing a village street . A few small children were playing "pooja" for a mud-murthy of Krishna . They offered some mud as "Prasadam" to the Acharya . He accepted it with great humility and applied on the forehead . Seeing the surprised look on the faces of his scholarly Disciples , Ramanujachara said " These children are worshipping Bhagavan with Bhakthi. Therefore, this `Prasadam' is invaluable " .

Om Namo Narayanaya !!!

Krishna Guruvayoorappa, Dear Krishnadayaji, Your point is absoultely true. The situation was really tragic not only in Kerala, but in the whole country which used to boast about the ancient culture, traditions, values etc. thanks to the pullution from channels and their mega serials. Of course they have already done enough damage in the minds of children and young people, not to talk about its negative effects on the older ones. So we must welcome serials like Sree Guruvayoorappan which can arose some Bhakthi in the polluted minds of our people, as a change for the better. Let us pray to Lord to do something about it and let more and more bhakthi serials come so that people can get enjoyment alongwith enlightenment. And there is no dearth of stories in our Sreemad Bhagavatham and other

puranas, which can teach bhakthi and values to the society. Serial writers will also be getting some relief as they can avoid brainstorming to cook some useless concocted soap stories, the only thing is that they have to turn towards Bhagawan and Bhakthi. Let us hope for the best. Hari Prasad krishnadaya <krishnadaya wrote: Krishna , Guruvayoorappa ! Dear Bhakthas , It is Krishna's grace that inspires Krishna-bhakthi related literature .

Om Namo Narayanaya

 

Dear Krishnadayaji & Gopalakrishnaji,

 

Thank you for correcting our view....

 

Very often we watch things from a different angle and come up with

our own judgements which may not always be correct or lead us in the

right direction. The beautiful comments you have given below help us

to correct this view. The intention of the serial should be taken as

to be immersed in Sree Krishna Bakthi and that is more than enough,

reading between the lines may not help us, but would often distract

our attention. Just watch and leave the rest to the Lord.
