Udupi Sri Krishna Temple, Karnataka

Udupi Sri Krishna Temple, Karnataka

Janmashtami
Situated approximately 60 kms from Mangalore, the
Udupi Sri Krishna temple also known as Krishna Mutt, is one of the most
popular shrines dedicated to Lord Krishna in the southern region of
India. Built in 13the century, Sri Krishna temple has an alluring idol
of god adorned with beautiful jewels. The idol was installed by great
saint Madhavacharya.

The temple has an interesting history; it is said the idol of lord
Krishna got covered with sandlewood in the city of Dwarka. The idol was
carried by a mariner who took it for a sandlewood lump. In the middle of
the journey, the ship was caught in a storm on the western coast of
Malpe. Sri Madhvacharya pulled the ship out of storm with his saffron
robe and calmed the sea storm with his divine powers. Saint
Mahdhvacharya asked for the sandalwood lump and as a gesture of
gratitude, the mariner gifted him. Saint bathed the idol with water,
purified it and installed it in the temple.

Best Advice

What's the best way to pack shirts without wrinkling them?


Lay a dry-cleaner bag on a flat surface and slide a folded shirt inside. Stack a second shirt atop the first but outside of the bag.


Fold the rest of the bag over the second shirt, and then slide a third shirt inside the bag so that it sits atop the second. Separated by slippery plastic, your shirts won't wrinkle, keeping your appearance crisp even if your head is in another time zone.

  • Online Education Database - This is a strange site, and I’m not quite sure what to make of it - but this link lists over 100 specific search and research tools, often relevant to specific subjects.
  • MathWorld - if you have the great misfortune of having to take math, then this site can be of great help. Everything mathematics from Geometry to Calculus is covered by this site in great detail.
  • GeoHive and Fedstats - These are both statistics sites, so if you need to know how many people. Fedstats allows public access to public agency statistics. Geohive is a bit cooler, primarily providing global statistics (gender populations, coal reserves, etc). I know, it’s so exciting I can’t stand it.
  • Theoi and Encyclopedia of Mythology - Both excellent resources on the subject of mythology and ancient religions. This is useful information all across the humanities.
