The Vidakuzha Sreekrishnaswami Temple is an ancient and powerful shrine
in central Kerala. It is situated at Kalamassery in Ernakulam District,which
is 3 kilometers away from the beautiful
and serene River Periyaar, sanctified by the presence of Sri Ganesh. This
temple is dedicated to Lord Sreekrishna, the incarnation of Lord Mahavishnu.
The posture of the idol is in the form of Santhana Gopala. ”Santhana Gopala is
an infant form of Lord Krishna, he blesses childless couples with progeny and
also enhances the knowledge of children”. The believers from all over India
used to visit the temple for their fulfillment of the progeny. According
to ancient scripts, the temple is over 1500 years of age and was in a
dilapidated condition due to external invasions. But due to the keen interest
of Vidakkuzha Sreekrishna Swami Kshetra Bharan Seva Samithi and Devotees the temple was partly renovated
during the year 2011-2012.
KALASAM is aThaanthrik ritual("Thaanthrika Kriya") aiming at increasing the glory and power of the dieties and sometimes for atonement for any fading of such power.As per Thaanthrik rules "Naveekarana Kalasam"has to be done in every temple once in 12 years.Due to ignorance or unknowing practices of humans the dietie's power may fade.With the passage of time and due to normal wear and tear and impurities that might have adept in ,the temple may have lost its original holiness and the idol its original sanctity.It is believed that this can be not only regained but increased by the performance of periodic Naveekarana Kalasam.
For the past 45 years Naveekarana Kalasam was not done in Vidakkuzha Sreekrishna Swami Temple due to so many reasons.Due to this the Temple and People around it is experiencing lack of glory.As per the recommendations of the astrologers and Thanthri,the Vidakkuzha Sreekrishna Swami Devaswom Board has decided to perform the auspicious NAVEEKARANA KALASAM from 2014 April 25 to 2014 May 12.With the performance of this ritual,the temple and its premises and the whole location is enriched with divine spirit(Chaithanyam) which enhances the people of the location in every aspects of life in a positive way.
As per Thaanthrik rituals there must be a festival (THIRU ULSAVAM) before
and after Naveekarana Kalasham. Accordingly with the permission of the deity it
is decided to celebrate the Thiru Ulsavam of this year from March 20 to 27,
2014. Followed by the Naveekarana Kalasham from April 25 to May 5, 2014. And
the next Thiru Ulsavam from May 5 to 12, 2014. The aforesaid events are
inevitable for the performance of the holy Naveekarana Kalasham. For the proper
performance of Naveekarana Kalasham and Thiru Ulsavam huge expenditure is
necessary. It is needless to say without the support from the devotees and public, the performance of
the rituals is not possible.
The fund raising
campaign was inaugurated by Sri A.N. Radhakrishnan (General Secretary, B J P,
Kerala) in the presence of Sri. Jamal Manakkadan(Municipal Chairman,
Kalamassery).The committee humbly requests you to grace the occasion with your esteemed presence during these events and also request financial as well as moral
support from your side.
