Thondanur - Part-2: Sri Parthasarathi / Goplalakrishna Temple

SrihiRespected Bhagavathas, http://www.pbase.com/svami/parthasarathy-gopalakrishna-temple This is the Second temple I am presenting before you. The Temple ofLord Parthasarathi & Venugopala Swamy Temple.This temple is just opposite to Nambhi Narayana Temple. A beautiful Compact Rajagopuram welcomes you, Then you enter the temple and you feel as if you have entered a Tamil Nadu Temple. It is very big and has a huge complex. Here Perumal Moolavar is Parthasarathi flanked by Sri and Bhoo Devi.Moolavar is in Veetruruntha Thiru Kolam, You will get mesmerised by the beauty of the Moolavar.Then Moovavar Thayar is Yadava Nayaki.Uthsavar is Rukmini,Sathyabhama Sahitha Sri Gopala Krishna. Everywhere Gopala Kirshana's right thiruvadi will be in the front but here it is the left thiruvadi, which is in the front. It is said that He is doing Thribangi NAtya and hence, left thiruvadi is in dancing pose. It is said that Yudistra and Brigu Muni did the Prathistai of this temple.Picture details:1002438 is Moolavar Parthasarathi flanked by Sri and Bhoo Devi1002440 Uthsavar Gopala Krishna Flanked by Rukmini and Sathyabhama 1002441 Pada Sevai of Uthsavar and observe our Mudu Krishna is in Thribangi Nruthya Pose. It is the speciality.1002442Is Moolavar Thayar : Yadhava Nayaki.Prathistai by Yudhistra and Brighu Muni.Eventhough the Archaeological Survey of India has taken the upkeep of the temple, not much resource to do kainkaryam. The condition is slightly better than Nambhi Narayan Temple. Enough Lighting is there; The priest is surviving with Rs.50/- per month given byGovernment of Karnataka (Slightly better salary than Nambhi Narayan Temple). I appeal to all the Visitors to Melkote , to just drop in to this beautiful Place named Thondanur and see these three beautiful temple and also see the Lake built by Udayavar . Tipu Sultan Called this Lake as Moti Talab , it is said Tipu dropped his Pearl necklace in the middle of the lake while doing boating, then even thougth the pearl neclace was deep in the water he could see it through naked eyes through the crystal clear Water. Hence he called it Moti Talab. I spoke with Bhattar who is looking after this temple and also Yoganrusimha and Udayavar temple which is very close to this two temple and he informed that He needs Rs.250 /- per day to perform Pooja ,Naivedhyam and pushpa Kainkaryam for Lord. I am sure you all will come forward and do something for this temple. Our Bretherns living abroad can take up the Pooja for each month and get the Lords Blessings. Those who want to help please contact : Sri. Raguram Bhattar,Sri Gopala KrishnaTemple, & Yoga Narasimha Temple,Kere Thonnur : 571434Mandya DistrictTel:08236 - 251795.Before sending any contribution please collect thedetails from Bhattar.Please visit this place whenever you visit Melkote.
