OM NAMO NARAYANAYARespected Dasji,There is one last Play of Krishnanattam - Swarggarohanan which is for getting Moksham to persons suffering from long ailments.The Mayilpeeli used in the crown of Krishna of Krishnanattam is said to be the real one worn by Guruvayoorappan. The story goes like this.The Great Vilwamangalam Swamy II could see Krishna with his naked eyes . Once the Zamorin Raja of Calicut requested him to show Bhagwan to him . Swamiyar agreed with condition - he has to restrain himself .One day , after Athazha pooja , the Swamiyar showed krishna playing inside the temple where the Ayyappa temple is now situated to the Raja. The impatient Raja tried to embrase the Lord who disappeared instantly . But he could get one Mayil Peeli from the crown of Krishna which is still used in the Krishnanattam plays.Gopalakrishnanguruvayur@grou ps.com, "narayana_das77" <narayanadas77@ ...> wrote:>> > Dear Devotee,> > It is a fact that , Guruvayoorappan is personally present to watch His> favorite art Krishnanattam .

Dear friend,Please refer Guruvayur Devaswom official website for booking offerings.The site mentions Rs.1500/- as the rate for sponsoring Krishnanattam - this is actually for 1 day. you can decide which act you want to sponsor from Krishnanattam and then book your offering.There is no waiting list (that I know of) since several people will sponsor the same act on a particular day. (As far as Udayasthamana Puja is concerned, there is only one booking on one day allowed - but thats not the case with other offerings inluding Krishnanattam). I do hope members will recollect the elaborate discussions and solid efforts taken by our Forum to maintain status quo with regard to Udayasthamana Puja (whereas GD wanted to make it into a money spinner.)For any further clarification on offerings, I would request you to refer to
