Bhajanam

The way to perform a Bhajanam at Guruvayoor temple is as follows.

  1. The Bhajanam starts as early as 2 am. 
  2. Take a bath in the Rudratheertham and reach the temple before 3 am. At 3 am worship the most auspicious 'Nirmalyam darshanam'. 
  3. After worshiping Lord Guruvayoorappan, worship the gods 
    1. Ganapathi, 
    2. Ayyappan and 
    3. Bhagavathi. 
  4. By this time, it is time for worshiping the Lord by Thailabhishekam and Vakacharth. Make 'pradakshinam' channting 'Hare Krishna'. 'Sayanapradakshinam' is said to be very noble. Ladies should not perform 'Shayanapradakshinam', but is enough to do the 'Adi pradakshinam'. 
  5. Then after worshiping the Lord's 'Balagopaladarshanam', come out of the 'Nalambalam' and receive the Theertham and Kalabham.
  6.  At around 5 am, after worshiping the Ushapooja and Ganapathi homam, accompany the 'Sheeveli' chanting the 'Hare Rama/Hare Krishna'. After this, at around 8 am, worship the Palabhishekam, Navakabhishekam and Pantheeradi pooja.Again, pay your offerings when the Shreekovil is opened after the Uchapooja. By this the morning session is poojas are over.

In the afternoon

  1. at around 4.30 pm, after cleaning yourself, pay offering to the Lord. 
  2. Then accompany the Sheeveli and make the 'Pradakshinam'. 
  3. Worship the 'Deeparadhana' at the dusk. 

After the nightfall, 
  1. worship the Lord when the Shreekovil is open after the 'Athazhapooja', 
  2. take part in the Sheeveli and help to light the lamps for 'Chuttuvilakku'. 
  3. Worship the 'Thrippuka' and receive the 'Neyprasadam'. 
  4. Worship the Bhagavathiazhal and receive the prasadam. 
  5. Then come in front of the Shreekovil and prostrate the Lord. 
  6. Then watch the 'Krishnanattam' performed in front of the Attavilakku. 

And that completes one day of Bhajanam.
