He is the presiding deity of Guruvayoor temple, who is being worshiped as Shri Krishna in his kid form, popularly known as Guruvayur Unnikkannan (Guruvayur baby Krishna). Even though the idol is that of chatur bahu (four handed) Vishnu, the concept (Sankalpam) of the people is that the idol is the infant form of Lord Krishna. This irony is because the idol represents the purna rupa (full manefestation) revealed by baby Krishna to his parents immediately after his birth in Kamsas jail. Lord Krishna immediately after his birth had revealed himself as four armed standing Vishnu in front of his parents Devaki and Vasudeva. So that may be why baby Krishna is worshiped on a Vishnu idol. The temple is located in the town of Guruvayur, Thrissur, Kerala, India. The word Guruvayurappan, meaning Lord of Guruvayur, comes from the words Guru (ഗുരു) referring to Brihaspati, the Guru of the Devas, Vayu (വായു), the God of Wind and Appan (അപ്പന്), meaning father or Lord in Malayalam. Since Guru and Vayu installed Krishnas idol, the name Guruvayurappan was given to the deity.[1] It is believed that the idol of Guruvayurappan was worshipped by Vasudeva and Devaki, the parents of Krishna, and represents the full manifestation of Vishnu, and later was worshipped by Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu himself. The idol is made of a stone called Patala Anjanam or black bismuth and is in the standing pose with 4 arms carrying the Panchajanya (shanku)(conch), the Sudarshana Chakra(chakra)(disc), the Koumodaki (gada)(mace) and padma (lotus).[2] Guruvayur is also hailed as Bhuloka Sri Vaikuntham meaning Heaven in Earth. where the deity reveals himself to his devotees in the same majestic form in which he welcomes them in Vaikuntha, his celestial abode. THE ORIGN OF MARUTHI The holy idol of Lord Vishnu in Guruvayoor Temple is made up of a rare stone called Pathalanjana Sila, thus considered extremely sacred. It is almost 4 ft tall, and it is said that the idol represents the form of Lord Vishnu in which he gave darshan to Vasudeva and Devaki during the birth of their son, Lord Krishna. This may be the reason why the child form of Lord Krishna is worshipped here. The Lord holds a conch, discus, mace and lotus on his four hands. He is in a standing pose with his darshan towards east. There is a story about the origin of the murti in Narada Puranam. King Janamejaya, the son of Parikshit, grandson of Abhimanyu and great-grandson of Arjuna, conducted a fierce yajna called Sarpasatra to kill the whole clan of Takshaka, the fierce snake who killed his father. Many innocent snakes died in the yaga fire, but Takshaka survived. Thus Janamejaya got affected with the curse of snakes, making him a leprosy patient. Even though he was well looked by his wife, children and palace doctors, there was no cure. At that time, sage Dattatreya appeared before him and adviced him to worship Lord Vishnu at Guruvayoor. He also told the story of the idol. That is as follows: Once in Padma Kalpa, when Lord Brahma was doing his task of creation, Lord Vishnu appeared before him. When Lord Brahma repelled him and his creations, Lord Vishnu gave one idol of himself to him. Later, in Varaha Kalpa, Lord Brahma gave this idol to a king named Sutapass and his wife Prasni, who were worshipping Lord Vishnu for a child. As a result of their long worship, Lord Vishnu appeared before them told them that he would be born as their son in four births, and in all these births, they would be blessed with the idol. In the first birth in Satya Yuga, the Lord was born as Prasnigarbha, the son of Sutapass and Prasni. In this birth, he spoke about the greatness of celibacy. Later, in Treta Yuga, when Sutapass and Prasni were reborn as Kashyapa and Aditi, the Lord was born as their son Vamana. Again later, in Treta Yuga, itself, when they were reborn as Dasharatha and Kausalya, the Lord was born as their son Rama. Finally, in Dwapara Yuga, when they were reborn as Vasudeva and Devaki, the Lord was born as their son Krishna. In all these births, they were blessed with the holy idol. Later, Lord Krishna, himself an avatar of Lord Vishnu, took the idol to Dwarka. He installed it in a temple near his palace and daily worshipped it. At the end of his earthly life, he told his friend-cum-disciple Uddhava that Dwarka would be submerged within seven days and everything except the idol he worshipped would be destroyed. He also adviced Uddhava to hand over the idol to Brihaspati, the guru of devas and Vayu, the wind god. What the Lord told came to be true. Uddhava handed over the idol to Brihaspati and Vayu, and went to Badrikashram for meditation. Brihaspati and Vayu went southwards with the idol, and they were stucked on the way when they saw a place which was much more beautiful than even heaven. They saw a beautiful lake, full of lotuses there. Also, there were many animals, birds, flowers, etc. throughout the place. Fresh air breezed all around. At the same time, they saw Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati there. Lord Shiva told Brihaspati and Vayu that this place is the most suitable place for consecrating the idol, as it was where he prayed Lord Vishnu, and he adviced the 10 princes named Prachetas to pray Lord Vishnu for getting the post of Prajapati. He also told that the place would be known as Guruvayoor and the idol would be known as Guruvayoorappan as the consecration was done by Brihaspati and Vayu. Later, Brihaspati and Vayu called Vishwakarma, the divine architect to make a temple. He did his task within minutes and the idol was consecrated soon. Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati settled down at Mammiyoor in the opposite bank of the lake. Thus, it is said that every devotee who comes to Guruvayoor should also go to Mammiyoor Shiva Temple and then only a darshan to Guruvayoor is complete. The place is also called as Bhooloka Vaikuntam, as Lord Vishnu here resides completely powerful as in Vaikunta, his abode, and fullfills every wish of a true devotee. After hearing this story, Janamejaya proceeded to Guruvayoor with his family. He conducted bhajanam there for one year. He also went to Mammiyoor Temple and prayed Lord Shiva. Thus, he was cured of the disease and he lived a very happy, healthy, long life. CONSTRUCTION OF SHREE GURUVAYOOR TEMPLE. An astrologer told a Pandya King that he was destined to die from a cobra bite on a particular day. He was advised to go and pray before Guruvayurappan. The king spent years in meditation and prayer at the feet of the deity. Suddenly the King realized that the time of his death had passed. He came back to his palace and asked the astrologer why the prediction was wrong. The wise man showed him the mark on his left foot where the cobra had bitten him. Since the king was wholly absorbed in the Lord, Who alone can dispense with fate, he did not feel the sting. In gratitude, the King built the temple at Guruvayur and set apart funds for the daily routine of the temple. Most of the current temple building dates to the 16th and 17th centuries, although rich devotees funded extensions and additions later. The deepastamba (column of lights) was erected in 1836 by a devotee from Thiruvanathapuram. The temple has gopurams in the east and the west. The eastern gopuram has an inscription which refers to the town as Gurupavanapura. The western gopura was built in 1747 GLORY OF THE LORD SHREE GURUVAYOORAPPAN AND ABOUT GREATNESS OF NARAAYANEEYAM SHREE LORD KRISHNA OF THE KARUNAAMAYI- VAIKUNTA VASA-MAHAVISHNUS GLORY IS NOT ENDING IN THIS LIFE, BELIEVING IS THE GREAT THING, THATS ALL NARAYANA BHAJANAM or WORSHIPING OF LORD NARAYANA OF SHREE GURVAAYOOUPPAN, IS SO GREAT AND AS A GREAT FORTUNE IN THIS LIFE, NO DOUBT, NOT ONLY A GREAT FORTUNE BUT ALSO, A NEVER FORGOTTEN EVENT OF OUR MOST VALUABLE DIVINE, LIFES PATH.; CHANTING AND MEDITATING IS SO GREAT, TO OUR LIFES MUKTHI or LIBELRATION OF REBIRTH, ALSO.
