Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Dear Bhaktas, OM NAMO NARAYANA. We will be in Guruvayur on the 18th & 19th June 2008 with four adults and two children. I request the group members to advise me on:- 1. TULABHARAM in Guruvayur Temple for my grand daughter, one year old. How is the TULABHARAM performed - with bananas? Any advance booking done and what are the timings? 2.Any good 3 star hotel in Guruvayur! Or is it better to stay in Trissur!. Thanks, V.Ramabhadran, Chennai. --- krishnadaya <krishnadaya wrote: > > Krishna , Guruvayoorappa !

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Dear Shri. Ramabhadran, Thulabharam in Guruvayoor does not need any advance boooking. Thulabharam counter is inside the temple complex at the north-east corner. You can use anything of your choice like banana, sugar, rice etc. You will have to tell them your choice at the counter. As we do not promote any any commercial interests in this group, we won't be able to give you a list of hotels, however, you can search online and find contact numbers of good hotels like Krishna Inn, Temple owned Panchajanyam etc. Please see the Guruvayoor visitors guide at www.guruvayoor.com for more info on Guruvayoor visit. Let us know if you have any more questions. Have a good trip and please do pray for our group members when you are in Guruvayoor.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hare KrishnaAs you enter into the temple, Tulabharam is being performed at the left hand side and to specify with what ? It is upto you. Most of the people pray that with so and so item, Tulabharam will be done. However if you have a vow then you need to definitely do with the same item and if you change, you cannot see that the weighing machine shows equality in weight on both the sides. As regards to your stay, your have couple of good hotels in East Nada and you can look for accommodation there. Staying at Trichur means, you might need to travel very early in the morning to reach the temple as there will be huge queque to enter the temple. May Lord Guruvayoorappan bless you all including your grandchild !RegardsJayasree MenonOn 01/05/2008, ram iyengar <veeaar39 wrote: Dear Bhaktas, OM NAMO NARAYANA.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Dear Sri Ramabhadran Tulabharam is an offering to Sri Krishna. You may be aware that it is an offering or a vazhipadu. Items such as bananas, jaggery, sugar, rice, oil, tulasi, jack fruit, coconut fibre, yam (chena)...(the list goes on)...meaning that it depends on what your prarthana or vow is. Each item, I believe has certain significance. As for the hotels, here is a list that I compiled for a friend sometime ago. You may have to call and make an advance reservation. Here are some good hotels: Panchajanyam Guest House Very close to the temple; Belongs to the Devaswom. Maintenance is poor, but ok for a day or so. You may visit the Devaswom's website for the telephone number. If you want an advance reservation, you may have to send a MO in advance, but usually they misplace it and create anxiety in us, when we arrive there. Please check and confirm with them. Hotel Elite (South Indian Thali is available here) East Nada Guruvayur Ph: 0487 2556215/16/17/18 I usually stay here. Sri Kripa East Nada Ph: 0487-2552415 No restaurant available. Rooms start only from 1st floor. No lift. Hotel Ayodhya West Nada (Back side of temple) You may need an auto to reach the temple. No restaurant available. No lift. 0487-2556226, 2555693 Rugmini Regency Slightly expensive, but excellent accomodation Restaurant available. East Nada 0487-2556387 Besides there are several hotels in the vicinity of the temple. I would suggest advance booking. I hope this helps.
