Udupi Krishna Visit - 2010
Udupi 60 Kms from Mangalore is central
attraction for devotees because of divine shrine of Lord Sri Krishna. Built in
13th century, Sri Krishna temple has an alluring idol of Krishna which is
adorned with beautiful jewels. Sreeman Madwacharya, the great Sanskrit
Philosopher and the founder of Dwaita system, installed the statue of the Sri
Krishna at Udupi. He gave sanyasa deekshe to eight of his disciples and
commissioned them not only to carry on the worship of idol Sri
Krishna but also propagate Dwaita Philosophy. The pontiff of each of eight
mutts carries on the worship of the idol for a period of two years by rotation.
These Mutts are :
. Sri
Palimar Mutt

Krishnapur Mutt
. Sri
Puttige Mutt
. Sri
Sirur Mutt
. Sri Sode
Mutt
. Sri

Temple is very famous because of the ‘Kanakana
kindi’- a small window through which Krishna believed to have given
darshan to his ardent devotee Kanakadasa.
