As per the folk JANAPADA of Govindapura village elders Lord Govindaraja katte's south east side some fossils available among the heavy plants of JAALI trees in middle point ,one of Small vertical rectangle katte also seen. As per our ancients it was in GOVINDAPUR one of MATHA. by which was destroyed by the flood of Bhima Rever can still be seen. this blog also includes divine experiences of devotees, stories from ancient texts, Shlokas and Stutis in praise of Lord Sri Lakshmi Govindaraja Devaru, and the like.
Sri Govindaraja, who set up as the Maharishi Agastya while traveling south, gave the statue of God the image replaced by Natural form as God as a form of contemplation. That means planting ( Ashwatha and Nimbaka ) a plantain and a neem tree. There are reports that Lord Lakshmi with Govindaraja as Lord Ashwaththa Tree at The loftiest rock
UTTUNGA SHILA PEETHA in Sanskrut and Loftiest Rock in English means in KANNADA Vernacular "KATTE"
This is why Govindaraja God worshiping families initialy sirnamed as " KATTI " As the Katti family resides nearby "Umaraja" village are changed to "Umarajakara" and Joshi's career in Umaraja village has changed as JOSHI & Umaraja Village also called by JANAPADA as Umarji. But seems that another cast Bhakta's also approaches Govindaraja Katte at the time of LORD SHRI GOVINDAPURA JATRE in respect of their KULADEVATA.Who is not reserved for only one cast, race etc.., so he belongs to entire universe, Vasudhe is his family. अयं बन्धुर यं नेति गणना लघु चेतसां | उदार चरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुंबकं ||
Divya Kshetras are those Kshetras where Lord Sri Lakshmi Govindaraja Devara " Govindapura" is said to have manifested on His own or the Kshetras where Maharshis Agastya performed severe penance worshipping the Lord Sri Lakshmi Govindaraja Devaru as his" Kuladevata "and got direct blessings.when Agastya comes Dakshin Jambudweep for distroy of Aatapi, waataapi and Ilwala Rakshasajs, there is history that Daardhya Rushi and Achyutacharya Ashrama parnakuti was at Govindapura.
Bhagavati shri Mahalakshmi Devi temple (LAKKAVVANA and also calling BANADEVI GUDI) on left side and Bhagavati Shri Mata Chandralamba temple (CHANDRAV TAAYI GUDI) on right side. Shri Govindaraja Devaru is standing alone position as a warrior having Shankh, Chakra,Gada, Padma, Dhanushya, Tuneera with arrows in his hand and Abhaya Hasta . The God Shri Rudra Devaru, Ganaadhipati Devaru Anjaneya Devaru and Yugala Shesha Devaru and specially Dakshin Vahini Bheema River is flowing in front of Shri Govindaraja Devara Katte
It had heared by our ancients Grand father shri Seetaramacharya katti and Father Shri Shridharacharya Katti that there a SECRET WAY available from north ground side of Govindaraja KATTE, but where it had ended and what is inside of secret way not known by any one. But it is true that a brown colour having brown haired a large snake is always been experiences of snake that roaming around the DEVARA parisara namely from shri Lakshmi Temple to secret way point. In another some village source from that secret way one north side goes to BANADA DEVI LAKKAVVA Temple,and & second one south side goes to AMOGHASHIDDHA SHANI is as a stone, a short distance away in South east side of KATTE plated by SINDHUR and OIL ( SHANAISHCHARA DEVA) Temple, SHETIKAVVA ( CNIWAALI DEVI) godess temple where any pregnant women do not roam around godess place and after delivery they must bring their child in front and get as Prasaada Gift....and then the way ends with BHUTAALA SHIDDHA which are situated in old distroyed Govindapura by the flood of Bhima River
Again a special appearance is available Bhutaraj named RAKSHAATA MALLA in protection of the Govindaraja Deva's environment. KSHETRA PAAL, On the order of some sages, Lord Shanaishchara kept a demon called Rakshata Malla in his repression & changed his mind and entrusted the protection of the surrounding environment around. There are some statements that there was an ancient temple of Lord Shanischara in the old Govindpura, as per the local folk and elders. The authenticity is left to the ancient researchers. an another stroy is Vikrama, a gandharva sambhava Avantipur who was tired of hunting and lost his way in, was given Ekachakradhipati dominion.Tells the secret is the presence of the legend of Govindpur is inspired by the proximity of Ashwath Katte
It is learnt that by the village elders and wise elders ancestors is said to be, There is a legend that Raja Vikrama, one of the emperors of the capital of Ujjain, came to Shri Dardhya, Achyutacharya's Ashram in gratitude for the guidance he received, and built a vast cow shed, donated thousands of cows and also supervised the cow shed, hence the village name becomes Govrundapur.
The legendary Ujjain emperor Raja Vikrama has Interspersed with anecdotes that dispel doubts as to why the planet of Saturn
human animal should be tortured so much. a story called "Nidhiyukta
Kushmanda" written on digested palm leaves found in an old monastery in
the village of Umaraja, although the story is not in the popular Shani Mahatma.
The supplement is an impressive story.
Although many more Sri Lakshmi Govindaraja Devar " Govindapura" may qualify to be included under the ‘ Divya Kshetras’ for the sake of presenting in accordance to the auspicious count.
Yama while instructing Nachiketa describes the eternal Ashvattha tree with its root upwards and branches downwards, which is the pure immortal Brahman, in which all these worlds are situated, and beyond which there is nothing else (Katha Upanishad Verse II.vi.1).
But Shri Krishna tells us that the Ashvattha tree having neither end nor beginning nor stationariness whatsoever has its roots upwards and branches downwards whose branches are nourished by the Gunas and whose infinite roots spread in the form of action in the human world which though strong are to be cut off by the forceful weapon of detachment to seek the celestial abode from which there is no return (Bhagavata Gita Chapter XV Verses 1-4). The former teaches that the Ashvattha tree is real being identical with Brahman and therefore impossible to cut-off; the latter insists that the Ashvattha tree must be regarded as unreal being identical with existence which needs to be cut-off. [3] some Shlok's in "Ashwatha Stotram" as Brahma Narada Conversation at Brahmanda purana.
