With the bountiful blessings of Lord Guruvayurappan, a
group of devout
Bhaktas founded in 1966 the Shri Guruvayurappan Bhakta Samaj, which was
registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act 1950 under certificate no. A-2757 (Bombay). It was subsequently resolved to construct a temple for Lord Guruvayurappan with manifold objective of a spiritual and cultural Centre
with a hall for the pursuit and propagation of spiritual knowledge besides
promoting the spirit of brotherhood and selfless service to humanity. With
due emphasis on the afore-said objectives, and as a
preliminary step, a piece of land admeasuring about 497 sq. mt was acquired
in May 2000 from CIDCO, at Plot 59 A, Sector 29, Vashi, Navi Mumbai - 400703.
The construction of the Temple along
with the complete building is being carried out in phased manner.
The construction
of a Balalayam
(Temporary home of the Dieties)
and the structural work of 1st. two floors was taken up in the first
phase and was completed in January 2006.
The Balalayam was
consecrated on 2-2-2006 with adequate religious fervor under the
able guidance of our temple Tantri Shri Pottakuzhi Narayana
Namboodiri.
With a new found confidence,
along with
the abundant blessings of Lord Guruvayurappan and last but not the least, the unstinted co-operation and
financial support from the devotees, the gigantic task of the main temple for
Lord Guruvayurappan in the second phase was taken up in March 2009.
The
Main Temple construction in complete Kerala style and ambience was
entrusted to Shri Kannipayur Kuttan Nambuthiripad, an expert in the
field of vastu and Kerala temple architecture, in March 2009. It was
only after
the Aadharashila Prathishta Puja in June 2009, the
construction activity got a good impetus.
The
granite Sanctum-Sanctorum and a Mukhamandapam for
Lord Guruvayurappan along with the
Sri
Kovil
work for the three Upadevatas
Sri
Ganapathi,
Sri Dharmashastha
and Devi Rajarajeshwari
came to shape with the skillful artisians from Kerala giving
their best.
The 2nd phase construction of “Vashi Guruvayurappan Temple complex”
with all concreting and finishing work
for
the first and second floor and work for side wall for the temple
hall and amenities
was
meticulously carried out with the
available resources and time frame.
With
the
completion
of the temple complex,
conducting the consecration of idols and Samprokshnam for the
four revered Sannidhis
was planned between 22nd. January 2010
and 2nd. February 2010. The Prana Prathista of
the Sannidhis was done on 27th. January 2010.
