They come to seek the blessings of Lord Krishna known locally as Guruvayurappan a deity whose precious idol was according to myth originally worshipped by Lord Vishnu. Another brief states that the idol was eventually inherited by Lord Krishna and enshrined in Dwaraka and that just before His death He declared that it was to be re installed in India's most sacred place. The task was carried out by Brihaspathy the Guru of the Gods and Vayu the Wind God whose combined names gave the temple its name. After travelling all over India they eventually arrived at the place where the present temple now stands and were welcomed by Siva and told that the purpose of their journey was fulfilled. From these mythical beginnings Guruvayur became one of India's most important temples the small shrine that the Lord once occupied now a mahakshetram a great temple. It is a temple whose elaborate poojas have survived the many vicissitudes of history of wars and changing times always adhering to the rules that Adi Sankaracharya is said to have laid down a thousand years ago. That the temple has not only preserved this remarkable link with its divine origins but has also continued to respect and honour its unique customs is largely due to the presence of the hereditary families priestly and otherwise who continue to fulfil the duties assigned to their ancestors many centuries ago. It is also a temple where devotion to Guruvayurappan has remained undiminished by the passing centuries where the thousands of devotees who seek His compassionate blessings still uphold the mystery of His divine presence. Heaven on Earth The Universe of Kerala's Guruvayur Temple takes the reader into the heart of this complex universe chronicling the temple's myth and history describing its rituals and beliefs its traditional style of management its festivals and patronage of Kerala's ancient art forms its elephants and of course the beliefs of all those who worship within its precincts. It is a book made possible both by the trust and willingness of people including the temple priests to share their knowledge and by author photographer Pepita Seth's commitment to the project and her determination to represent the scope of the temple's world. This remarkable and unique record is the outcome of 7 years of careful research enhanced by sensitive photographs that not only portray all aspects of life within the temple but its atmosphere of intangible divinity. 316 pp.…
