As per astrological findings made by reputed
astrologer, late Puduseri Vishnu Namboodiri, more than one
thousand years ago, a sage from the Tirumala Temple came over to
Guruvayur and wishing to establish a temple for his Lord
Venkitachalapathi at Guruvayur where there is already a temple
for Lord Sreekrishna, sat by the side of the present temple
tank, prayed for and obtained permission of the Lord for such a
temple at Guruvayur and then established this temple after
bringing an idol from Tirupati.
This astrological finding is borne out by the simple fact that
the locality where this temple is situated is known as
Thiruvenkidom from time immemorial. The abode of
Thiruvenkitachalapathy, is naturally Thiruvenkidom . It might be
the wish of the great Lord that where he is already worshipped
as Sreekrishna, he should be worshipped as Venkitachalapathy
also. That must explain this extraordinary phenomenon of the
three different manifestations at the same place, to perhaps
make true. |
