Todays Udupi Kṛṣṇa darṣan : 9/1/15 (Friday) (Mahālaxmi alankār💜) Hare Kṛṣṇa dear friends! Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Śrilā Prabhupād! Please enjoy darshan of Udupi Kṛṣṇa, ārti and chamara sévā by H.H. Vidyāvallabha Teerthā Mahārāj (Paryāyā Śrī Kāṇiyūrū Matt) alankār by H.H. Vishwāprasanṇa Teerthā Mahārāj (junior Swāmy of Pejāwar Matt, Udupi). ☺ The deity is at least 5000 years old and was carved from Śaligrām-shīla by Lord Viṣvakarma himself on the order of Kṛṣṇa when Queen Rukmini (who was none other than Mahālakśmi) desired to worship Him in a childhood form when the latter was angry with her Husband for not allowing her into the rasā līlā. He later came to Udupi and was installed by Śrilā Madhwācārya about 800 years ago in the present Udupi Kṛṣṇa Matt and is still being worshipped according to the standards set by him. A few additions were made 400 years later by Śripād Vādirājā Teerthā.🙏 He is said to be the most innocent looking deity of Kṛṣṇa in the world. 💚 Udupi is called as Dakṣina Dwārkā (translates to Dwārkā of south India) and it is said that one reaps the same spiritual benefits by visiting Udupi as they would by visiting Dwārkā. The lamps were originally lit by Śrilā Madhwācārya and have never been made to extinguish ever since. Śrī Caitanyā Mahāprabhu when He visited Udupi collected a flame from these lamps and took it to Vrindāvan.💥 Jai darling Udupi Kṛṣṇa! 🌹🙏 Jai Śrilā Madhwācārya! ❤🙏 All glories to Śrilā Prabhupād! 💖🙏
