People should be concerned with their worship of Lord Krishna, other rumours should not be spread around. Devotees are thronging the temple to mitigate their mental sufferings, these controversies have no place to ponder over. It is the earnest desire of ardent devotees that none should intgerfere the day to day management system of the temple.

erm... excuse me mr K Joshi, but Guruvayoor temple is home to Sri Guruvayoorappan.. one of the 10 avatars of Lord Vishnu...not Lord Krishna... who for argument's sake was another avatar of Lord Vishnu's.!!

Excuse me Ms.Nita Chandrashekhar...Sri Giruvayoorappan is not one of the 10 avatars of Vishnu...The idol there is supposed to be the idol of Lord Krishna which was worshipped by Rukmini in Dwaraka..When Dwaraka was swallowed by the sea, this idol came ashore...Guru Vasishta and the Lord Vayu took this idol and placed it in the current place...thus the name "Guru""Vayu""oor"...means the land of guru and vayu...so please get your facts right....

Excuse me, this Guruvayoor Lord Krishna's idol is not the one worshipped by Rukmini.(It is in Udupi installed by Madwacharya).Guruvayoor idol was worshipped by Devaki & Vasudev since their 3 past janmas when Lord Vamana & Lord Prashna Garbha was born as their son,as a boon from Lord Vishnu.It was given to them from Lord Brahma himself.When Janamajeya was suffering with Leprosy, he came to Guryvayoor to worship it. It was cured. The idol was rcvd by Lord Shiva & Parvathi for the installation at South end of India,after the end of Dwaparayoga.

Hello Sir. Guru means Brihaspathi (Guru of Devas) Vayu is wind (Lord Vayu Bhagwan) When Dwaraka was submerging, Lord instructed Guru and Vayu bagwan to have the idol from Dwaraka shifted to a safer place so that people form Kali Yuga can have a darshan of it and mitigate their sufferings. VenuGopal is damn right.
