Goda Devi Kalyanam 2016 held at Garloddu. Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple on 14-01-2016

It is tradition in Vaishnavaites to perform Goda Devi Kalyanam in all Vishnu Temples ,on the day of Bhogi . A part from that in our temple also we have been conducting Goda Devi Kalyanam every year on Bhoghi day. As such in this year also on Bhogi day i.e 14-01-2016 we conducted Goda Devi Kalyanam at our Temple i.e Garloddu. Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple. In this context i would like to give brief history of Goda Devi or Andal Matha .

Andal is an 8th century Tamil saint and one of the twelve Alwars (saints) and the only woman Alwar of Vaishnavism. She wrote the great Tamil works of Tiruppavai (30 verses) and Naacchiyaar Tirumozhi (143 verses). Andal is known for her unwavering devotion to Lord Vishnu.

Andal was discovered under a Tulasi plant in the temple garden of Srivilliputtur, by Vishnuchitta who was one of the most revered saints in Hinduism, Periyalwar. She was named Kodhai or Goda. As she grew, her love and devotion for the Lord grew to the extent that she decided to marry none but the Lord Himself. She started to live in a dream world with her beloved Lord and was constantly fantasizing about marrying Him. Goda made flower garlands for her beloved Lord at the temple. She started wearing the flower garland which was meant to be offered to the Lord before sending it to the temple. One day, she was caught red-handed by her father. The Lord appeared to Vishnuchitta in his dream and told him that He whole-heartedly accepted Goda' s offering. From this day on, Goda was respected by the devotees and came to be known as "Andal", the girl who "ruled" over the Lord. She is also known as "Soodi kodutha Sudarkodi". Periyalwar took Andal to Srirangam to marry Her to the Lord Ranganatha. She entered the temple sanctum and became one with him.

So eventhough Goda Devi is Consort of Lord Ranga Natha , The Vaisnavaites Sampradaya allowed her to become Consort of all Vishnu Avatara Gods by considering her as avatar of Bhu Mata. Actually Lord Narasimha has two Consorts. they are Goddess Adhi Lakshmi and Chenchu Lakshmi. Because of above said Vaishnavaites tradition only the daughter of the Vishnuchitta Alvar also becomes additional consort to Lord Narasimha. this same tradition also has been following in all Vishnu Temples such as Lord Rama, Krishna, Venkateswara etc. So in our temple same Sampradaya adopted by the Vaishnava Arachakas.

The images of Goda Devi Kalyanam 2016 is given below.

WHO IS THE PRAJAPATI ? A VIEW ON RIG-VEDA GOD.

The Manu Smrithi says: In the beginning, all this existence was one undifferentiated, unmanifested, indefinable, unarguable and unknown in every way. From this condition arose the Universe of 'name and form' (Sanskrit: Namarupa), through the medium of the Self-existent Creator i.e swayambhu. The Hira ṇ yagarbha Sūkta of the Rig Veda declares that God manifested Himself in the beginning as the Creator of the Universe, encompassing all things, including everything within Himself, the collective totality, as it were, of the whole of creation, animating it as the Supreme Intelligence. It is as follows. Sanskrit Verse हिरण्यगर्भः समवर्तताग्रे भूतस्य जातः पतिरेकासीत । स दाधार पृथ्वीं ध्यामुतेमां कस्मै देवायहविषा विधेम ॥ hira ṇ yagarbha ḥ samavartatāgre bhūtasya jāta ḥ patirekāsīta | sa dādhāra p ṛ thvī ṃ dhyāmute...

about Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Avataar.

Sri Laxmi Narasimha Swamy One phrase of the Rig Veda appears to indicate an epithet that can be rightly attributed to the form of Vishnu as Narasimha it clearly calls the qualities of Vishnu that are seen only in this avatara as "like some wild beast, dread, prowling, mountain-roaming" (RV.I 154.2a). There is a reference or an allusion to knowledge of Namuci story in RV.VIII 14.13: "With waters' foam you tore off, Indra, the head of Namuci, subduing all contending hosts." This short reference is believed to have culminated in the full puranic story of this highly popular Narasimha form Narasimha And Prahlada The story of Narasimha as described in the Bhagavata Purana is as follows: ...
