Spiritual Tourism   - Heavens on Earth - Incredible Guruvayur 

Which was the verse which Oppenheimer, the Father of the Atomic  Bomb quoted, when he saw the First Atomic Explosion at Los Alamos ?


Was it " Divi Soorya Sahasrasya" ( the Splendor of a Thousand Suns) ? Or was it " Kalosmi" ( I am Time ) ? 

Actually he had four verses in his mind !

He saw the Lord, even in the Destructive power unleashed, which is invested in the womb of Almighty Time !
 
 
 
 

I am Time Eternal, the All Devourer
And the Destroyer of worlds !
Even if you chose not to work
Nature will inveigle you in work

Kalosmi Lokakshya Krit Pravritto
Lokaan Samahartum iva pravritta
Rithepi thvam na bhavishyanti sarve
Yevasthitha pratyanikeshu yoddham ?

Therefore, arise, enjoy eternal fame
And conquer the Kingdom Celestial !
I have destroyed thine enemies
Secret enemies that lurk within

Thasmat tvam utthishta Yaso Labhasva
Jithva Satroon Bhoongsha Rajyam Samriddham
Maiyevete Nihata poorvameva
Nimittam matram bhava savyasachin
 


Lust, greed, anger, jealousy
Sloth, covetousness, glutony
Whose emblems the demons are
Drona, Bheeshama, Jayadrada et al
Be an instrument in My Hands !

 


Dronam cha Bheeshmam cha Jayadradam cha
Karnam thadanyaanyapi yoddha veeran
Maya hathastham jahi maa vyadhishta
Nimitta matram bhava Savyasachin !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Birthday of the Lord

How can the Birthless and the Deathless, the Eternal Principle, have a birthday? This philosophical problem is solved thus. In Bridal Mysticism, where the Self is the Lover, Self is the Bride, a human form is given to the Divine. This is anthropomorphisation. He is the Consort in the form of the Ishta Devata or Tutelary Deity ! The Birthday of the Lord of Guruvayur falls on the 8th lunation, Ashtami, on the asterism Rohini !

 

There is only one Book which can claim a birthday of its own. It is Narayaneeyam, which was consecrated to the Lord on Vrischika 28th and this day is observed as Narayaneeyam Day.  Melpathur was not only a poet and  scholar, he was an astronomer, astrologer and mathematician as well, belonging to the Kerala School of Astronomy, Mathematics and Astrology !

• The Elephant Race, Anayottam

• On the first day of the Festival, (  which was on 23rd Kumbham ( Aquarius ) this year ) , 20 elephants took part in  a race. The Ninth day is Pallivetta, when the Lord goes hunting. The Tenth Day is Arattu, when the Lord takes bath in the Temple pond, witnessed by millions ! 

  Guruvayur figures amongst the top five places for Spiritual Tourism. They are in order,  Vatican,  Mecca,  Tirupathi,  Guruvayur and  Sabarimala.

   

Krishnanattom, Original Art

Before the more famous Kathakali, Krishnanattom flourished as an original Art.

Note - The same sages who declared "I am the Universal Truth, Aham Brahmasmi" devised the Exoteric System of Temples. The Esoteric does not mean the denial of the Exoteric. The Deity Itself is Absolute Being - Absolute Knowledge - Absolute Bliss, Sat Chit Ananda !  Sankara, Aurobindo et al encouraged Bridal Mysticism or Bhakti Yoga, Moksha karana samagryam bhaktir eva Gareeyasi.  We have uploaded

hundreds of Sacred Music videos on this site for you to enjoy, in different languages, as Music transcends language !  Amongst the 18 sciences of Philosophia Indica, Musicology or Gandharva Veda is the 17th Science.  The Primordial Sound manifests as Music, Poetry and Dance.  Poetry is Sabda Veda. Dance is Nritya Veda  !  Also Bridal Mysticism or Bhakti  Yoga knoweth no language, as it is the Language of the Heart !
