Even
if you are remotely acquainted with Hindu culture, religion or mythology,
the name "Guruvayur"
should strike a familiar chord with you.
A thriving township in Trichur district of Kerala state in the
South of India, its scenic beauty and serenity are breath taking. However,
today Guruvayur is synonymous with the Sree Krishna or Guruvayurappan
Temple located there so that when anybody says he is going to Guruvayur,
it is understood that it may be to this famous temple. An insight
into the temple and its presiding deity would be pertinent here for your
benefit. Adorned with the holy tulasi (Basil) garland, and pearl necklace
the Lord here appears in all radiance - a mere glimpse, and your search
for spirituality has found its meaning. |
