🕉 #Thread Divine 13th Century Varkala JanardhanaSwamy Temple,Kerala on Arabian Sea Shore-Lord’s Right Hand Palm is always wet &the arm has been moving up over time in Achamanam form.Scriptures say Bhagwan Vishnu’s hand when it reaches the mouth will indicate end of Kaliyuga🚩1/4
🕉 2. Janardhana refers to one who destroys birth & provides mukthi. There are very few temples in India, where Bhagwan Vishnu is called Janardhana & these places are significant for mukthi & pitru pariharam ie. for performing rites for ancestors & praying for moksha 🚩
🕉 3. There is a bell found in the southern side of the temple installed in the year 1757 CE. A Dutch ship that was passing by Varkala, suddenly stopped & could not move . All attempts made by the crew to move the ship proved futile🚩
🕉 4. At that time, the captain Michael Everard was advised to pray to Janardhanaswamy & he did with all sincerity. Soon the ship started to move. In gratitude, he came back to Varkala Janardhanaswamy Temple to install this bell, in which his name is inscribed🚩#NamoNarayana 🙏
