Vedadri

This Temple is located on the banks of River Krishna at VEDADRI village in Krishna district of AP and at a distance of 80 km from Vijayawada and 10 Kms from Chillakallu on Vijayawada-Hyderabad National Highway. The nearest town is Jaggaiahpet at 12km.

This is one among the Pancha Narasimhar sthethram near Vijaywada.

The Lord Narasimhar exists here in five forms as Jwala , Yoganandha, Veera , Saligrama and Lakshmi Narasimhar.

Lord Vishnu in His ‘Masthyavatar’ (fish) rescued Vedas from the demon Somakasura. The Vedapurush requested Him to reside on their heads. River Krishnaveni also wished to perform daily abhishekam to Him. Lord told them that their wishes will be fulfilled during ‘Narasimha avatar’ and asked Veda Purushas to remain in Krishna waters as Saligram till then and further assured them that He will stay with them as Panchamurthy.

On Killing Hiranyakasipu , Lord Vishnu self-manifested on Vedadri hill as JWALA NARASIMHA.

Later Lord Brahma installed SALIGRAMA NARASIMHA MURTHY on the SALIGRAMA mountain.

Later Sage Rishyasringa and others, in search of a suitable place for performing penance, heard Veda recitals in perfect swarms from the hill here, named it as ‘Vedadri’ and performed their penance here and having found in a cave a swayambhu YOGANANDA NARASIMHA , installed it here.


Again at Garuda’s request Lord self-manifested as VEERA NARASIMHA on the top of Garudadri hills, 5km east of Vedadri .

As per the prayers of Vanadevatha, the Lord is pervading the mountains as LAKSHMI NARASIMHA MURTHY.

Must be carefull as there are lot of monkeys if u are taking eatables fruits and flowers.

Near the car parking area is the access to Krishna river , we spent almost an hour as we went by evening . Mountains on one side and foot hill Vedadri temple and Krishna river at the back of the temple lovely ambience.

Thirunangur 11 Divyadeshams

11 Cholanadu Divya Desams in and around Thirunangur near Seerkazhi. Deities from each of the Thirunangur temples go out on a street procession on Garuda Vahanam and come together at Mani Mada Koil in Thai maasam (mid January) Sthalapuranam Angered at not being invited for the Yaagam conducted by Parvathi’s father Dakshan , Lord Shiva performed the Rudra Thaandavam (dance) in a place called Ubaya Cauvery (between Cauvery in the South and Mani River in the North) , a few kms South East of Seerkazhi . So aggressive was his performance that for every hair that fell down on the ground, a new form of Lord Shiva emerged. And very quickly 11 forms of Lord Shiva were each performing the Rudra Thaandavam. Sensing a possible damage to the world as a result of Lord Shiva’s fury , Lord Vishnu appeared here before Shiva as Paramapatha Naathan . Softened by the presence of Lord Vishnu , Rudra requested Vishnu appear in just as many forms . Lord Vishnu is said to have acceded to this request and provi...

Nava Dwaraka

My recent Nava dwaraka trip along with Bav nagar koliyac  Nishkalang Mahadev beach temple and Diu and Daman Gangeshwar Porbandar Kirti mandir and many other sub temples near Somnath , old and new Somnath temple and Nageshwar jyothirlingam. First day we saw  Kankroli Dwaraka here the deity is Lord Krishna named Dwarakadesh. The significance of the temple here is every 1 hour the temple will be closed for 15 minutes to decorate the Lord and kept open for an hour and again the same thing repeats and it's considered as Shyam bogh dharshan. We were lucky enough to see the arathy dharshan of the Lord Dwarakadesh. The next dwaraka was at Nathdwara named Srinath Dwarakadesh . In both the temples they follow the same Shyam bogh dharshan. Here a closed room with wooden doors with silver carvings are done and this room was considered sacred as Lord krishna himself has played here with his friends and there is a Balakrishna shrine too inside the temple complex. Both these temples a...
