via Narayana Das published on November 7, 2007

Krishna, Guruvayoorappa ! , Dear Bhakthas ,

Bhagavn Guruvayoorappan revealed the following , in the ongoing “Devaprasnam” :

New Findings ( on 6 Nov. )

1. Bhagavan stressed the need to rectify certain structural defects found in the golden Flag Pole of the Temple . It’s foundation is damaged due to the attack of insects . Flag Pole is the abode of Bhagavan’s vehicle Garuda . It has been dislocated and tilted . If one measures from it’s footing to “veeraknadam” (upper portion) , the dislocation can be found out . if the defective Flag Pole is not replaced with a new one , the present Flag Pole will be pulled down by Temple Elephants .

2. Bhagavan wants the Temple to set up Facilities for the study of Sanskrit and Vedas . The Vedas are very important to Guruvayoor Temple . Necessary Facilities should be provided for higher education of Sanskrit .

3. Ordinary Bhaktas should not face any hurdle in worshipping Bhagavan due to restrictions made in the name of VIP visits . At present , such difficulties exist and certain Temple staff are behaving rudely with the Bhkthas . This is absolutely unacceptable . Bhagavan is always pleased by the Bhakthy of Common man .

4. Bhagavan does not want , more than one `Udayasthamana Pooja’ in a day .

5. The Building in side the Temple premises can be taller than the Temple . But it’s floor level should be lower than that of Temple . On such floor , any number of storeys can be constructed . This has no relation with the height of Flag Pole . Considering the roads around the Temple as boundary limits, this condition should be adhered to .

6. Materials once used for “Thulabharam” can be used again . However, the decayed materials should not be used .

7. The water from the “Manikkinar” ( Temple’s well ) , can be used for Thulabharam .

8. The future of Bhagavan’s presence in Guruvayoor Temple is bright . The present unpleasant issues can be resolved by “Prayrachitham” (Atonement rituals) . These remedial measures must be completed within one year .

( Note – : Some Devotees brought to the Jyothishis’ attention , criticisms in the media against the Jyothishis . But the Jyothishis preferred not to discuss it with Bhagavan . They stated ” This Devaprasnam is being conducted strictly according to the Scriptural Injunctions and associated Vedic Shaastras . We are ready to answer any doubts on this . In stead of that , if some one wants to arrest us , we are helpless . )

Previous Findings ( 31 Oct. — 05 Nov. ) .

1. The “Suvarna-Dwajam” ( Golden Flag Pole ) is not vertical and it is in damaged condition . It’s present position too is not correct . This may cause Serious Dangers .
2. Thanthri ( Temple-Acharya ) is not issuing necessary instructions on time. He feels that, what he says will upset the concerned Authorities ; especially since , what he told in the past were ignored totally . Bhagavan is furious over this situation .
3. Some Devotees pointed out that , Udayastamana Pooja is performed for a single person only ; And therefore is it necessary to close and open the Sreekovil-Door for it ? .

Bhagavan replied that , Poojas are not for one Person only . More Udayasthamana Poojas and Thanthric rites are for increasing the `Deva çhaithanyam’ (aura) .

4. The “Pillaru-Thalappoly ” ( Ritualistic Offerings on a plate , by children) , being conducted by the local group , is very satisfying to Bhagavathy ( Upadevi , Durga) .
5. The Turmeric powder being offered to Bhagavathy , has less purity .
6. Bhagavathy does not need “Kunkuma-archana” .
7. In the Devawom guest house , a “Karimkaalithara” ( platform for `Karimkaali –Deity ‘ ) is to be provided .
8. A particular person from the ” Othikkan ” (Traditional Poojari) family, is continuously showing disrespect to the position of Thanthri . Bhagavan is upset over this . If this is not stopped immediately , there will be dire consequences .
9. In the previous Devawom Cow-Shelter “Kaaveedu” , some Cows were killed . In order to avoid it’s ill-effects in the new Cow-Shelter , “Kalasa Pooja” and other atonements to be performed for Bhagavathy .
10. Some “KeezhShaantis” ( Assistant Poojaris) are not maintaining the necessary personal purity, required for Poojas . This is repeated many times . This will cause calamities in the “Thidappally” ( Platform in front of Sanctum Sanctorum) itself .
11. Some Temple Staff are not performing their duties properly and are shifting it’s blame to others . They are going for other assignments that fetches better income . Also , there is serious infighting among the Staff .
12. Quoting verses from the “Kapilopadesa in Bhagavatham” , Justice Radhakrishna Menon raised doubts about the previous days revelations on rejection of Churidar . The Jyothishis re-confirmed with evidence that, Bhagavan does not like any amendment to the time-proven “Kshetra-Aachaaras” , in such unauthorized ways .

13. Change in Dress Code

( History : On 27th July, Guruvayur Devaswom had relaxed the traditional Temple Dress code to allow Women Devotees to wear Churidar inside the Temple . Earlier, women could wear only dresses such as sari, set-mundu, half-sari and skirt and blouse to the Temple. Even if women wore kurtas to the shrine, they had to wear a `mundu’ over the pyjamas. However , soon after the Marxist led agitations seeking amendment of “Kshetra Aachaaras’ ( Temple customs) , the Marxist Devaswom Board President announced his decision to allow Churidar inside the Temple. Later this matter was taken up in the Board meeting wherein the Thantri sated his objection . But, the Board flatly refused to revoke it’s public announcement and ordered the Thantri to shut up.)

In the wake of Guruvayoorappan’s objections to the changes in `Kshetra-Acharas ` , the recent change in Dress code was checked on the fifth day of `Devaprasnam’ . During the `Acharyavaranakriya’ , when a new cloth was brought , the Board Official instructed to cut it and fetch a small piece out of it . When the cloth was cut , it became ` Gana-vastra’ which according to Jyothisha is used for post-death rituals . Based on this `nimitham’ ( divine syndrome) , Jyothishis analysed further to find out Bhagavan’s will . And the following was revealed :

Devaswam officials had issued a strict instruction to the Thanthri and all concerned to allow Churidar inside the Temple .

Thanthri was not allowed to raise his objection . Because of this , he could not seek Bhagavan’s permission or conduct the Social Prayer necessary for seeking Bhagavan’s consent for the change of ` Aachaara `. Therefore , instead of a natural change , Dewaswam’s will was imposed on Thantri and Bhagavan . Next day, onwards Women started entering the Temple wearing Churidar which was unacceptable to Bhagavan . This resulted in the violent behavior of Temple-Elephants , Falling down of ` Thidambu'( Festival Deity) , etc . If this non-obedience is continued, it will be harmful to the Person wearing the Churidar and their families . It could result in premature deaths . Even, it could even harm the human kind as a whole .

Guruvayoorappan wants His Bhaktas to wear simple traditional dress inside the Temple . Dresses like Churidar is `paradesi ` ( foreign) , which is unacceptable to Bhagavan.

14. Devaswom Shelters for Old and Orphan Bhakthas

Bhagavan reiterated His desire to accommodate and protect His Old and Orphan Bhakthas in a Shelter which should be constructed by Devaswom . He pointed out that , according to His instructions earlier , daily `Prasada Ooottu `( Feeding of the Bhakthas) was started for 500 Bhakthas . Now it is provided daily for 5000 Bhakthas . Likewise , the Shelter will also be a success .

While this was discussed , Bhagavatha Hamsam Malliyoor Shankaran Namboothiri ( Guruvayoorappan’s legendary Bhakta) , entered the dais of Devaprasnam . Jyothishis found this as the divine omen of Bhagavan”s presence there and Bhaktavalsala’s compassion for His Devotees .

15. In near future, the cloth of a person arriving for Darshan will be caught fire in the Temple . Also, in the Temple premises , one’s wife will be killed by an Elephant or Cow .
16. Devaswom Board must consider `Krishnanaattam’ (which is very dear to Bhagavan) , as Sacred . In last two years , during Vijayadasami , the 9 days long `Krishnanaattam’ is not conducted by Devaswam Board . Devotees are offering it . Devaswam must conduct this with faith .
17. The “Koothambalam” (Auditorium for Temple Arts) is as important as the Temple . It must be cleaned daily and an Oil lamp to be lit there .

23. The existing “Achaaraas'( Rituals and Practices of the Temple) can not be debated and amended by any ` Acharya-Sabha’ ( Assembly of Vedic Acharyas and Experts) . They are to be adhered to as it is .
