Festival @ Peringavu Mahavishnu temple:Three noteworthy events

Of the last three days of festival at Peringavu Mahavishnu temple, three events appeared special. Ottan thullal by Haritha Hari, Samhooha Vishnu Sahasranamam, and a speech on spiritual matters by Sri. N. Gopalakrishnan.

Ottan Thullal

 We got to see have about an hour of the art form created by Kunchan Nambiar when Haritha Hari performed Kiratham.Kiratham depicts the events some crucial moments in Mahabharatham, of Arjuna getting a coveted Pasupathasthram (a special kind of arrow with destructive capabilities) from the Lord Paramasiva. The arrow would help Arjuna to wreak havoc later in the battle of Kurukshethra.



Samhooha Vishnu Sahasranamam

Vishnu Sahasranama or the recital by a singer of a thousand names and virtues of Lord Mahavishnu is a standard event in all temples. At Peringavu temple yesterday, we witnessed a not so common ritual: Samooha Vishnu Sahasranamam. A whole group of  people, singers and audience alike, recite the virtues of Lord Mahavishnu.



Spiritual speech

Sri. N. Gopalkrishnan, noted orator specializing on Hindu mythology and myths, gave an excellent speech at Peringavu Mahavishnu temple. He provided new information on temple activities and rituals. He also corrected many false beliefs that are prevalent in many temples. He lauded the temple for its cleanliness.




We hope to see many new programs like these three in the coming days too. Keep coming to this page.
