Guruvayurappan stories

I want to say something about lord krishna Temple, Guruvayur in Kerala. This temple is in Thrissur District,Kerala State, is attracting the attention of millions of people every year.




In Ithihya Mahathmyam.. it is mentioned that the krishna Idol was worshipped by Devaki Devi in Dwapara yuga, washed away when the Pralaya happend subsequently, and recovered in Kali yuga by Guru Bruhaspathi. He done the "Prathishta" with the help of Vayu deva in the place where we found him today... Thus got the name Guruvayur.



Here we can found him in Bala kishora bhavam. So here millions of people will offer small cradles to get a baby boy. Everyones wishes comes true, when they offer it with a clear heart.









There are many stories relates to this. One among is Poonthanam Nambudiri's story.

  1. Personal experiences of K. Pradeepa

    COPIED FROM WEBSITE....

    OM NAMO NARAYANAYA

    This happened when we were returning after attending my sister's marriage at Guruyavoor. As, we did only the thaalikettu at Guruvayoor we were returning to Palakkad to a kalyana mandapam where we planned to do the other chandankugal. We were returning in 2 cars . My sister, husband, myself, and my parents were in one car and others were in another car. Suddently, near Trissur my uncle stopped the vehicle and asked for water as we had the water bottles in our car. Only at that time we noticed that the radiator belt in our car was about to cut. It is only Lord Guruvayoorappan who made us to notice that and his kaligal not only stopped there. As we have to reach at least by 9 o'clock, my uncle told us to take the other car. So, we took that car and my aunt, uncle, and others who were in the other car was in a confusion how to reach the place. As it was a Sunday no mechanic shop was open nearby and no one had the tools to repair the vehicle. However, they managed to buy a belt from a shop, but there were no tools to make it right. My aunt is a great devotee of Lord Gurovayoorappan and she started praying and all of a sudden an auto came and the driver voluntarily asked them the matter. To their luck, he had the tools and he himself repaired the car. To their surprise it was written as Balakrishnan on the auto and they reached just half-an-hour after we reached Palakkad. Even now we are really overwhelmed by his grace. Who could be the autodriver, it is none other than our Lord Guruvayoorappan.
