We on behalf of all the staff of shiroor mutt like to thank all the devotees of Lord Sri krishna , & visitors of this website.

It was H. H .Sri Sri  Laxmivara Threetha Swamiji’s vision to enable  perpetual view and access to all events, videos & daily alankaras of Lord sri krishna to the devotees across the world.

Thanks to the todays technology & internet, we were able to achieve some of these noble vision of swamiji. We started this initiative in 2010 not knowing where this will lead us  to, how well the response be, how will this eventually turn out to be. But to our surprise, we got an overwhelming support & feedback & this was a well deserved impetus to our cause.

Each passing day was a learning experience for us, we faced lot of hurdles, there were technical issues, operational issues all throughout. However it was your support that encouraged us to continue this service uninterrupted for all 2 years & we strived hard enough to bring best possible service within our purview, limits & boundary.

When we now look back, we feel that the entire journey has been satisfying. The purpose and primary objective of this initiative has yielded a necessary desired results. All your positive feedbacks strengthened our cause and all the negative feedbacks were taken as a positive catalyst that helped us work on ours flaw & improve.

Finally, We would like to thank all our support staff who strived so very hard each day, worked 24X7 each day during entire paryaya tenure.

Special thanks to GURUDUTT, one & only photograher for us. All the accolades we received is mainly because of his perseverance & humongous efforts.

The website will be updated on a regular basis.

Thanks once again; Looking forward to serve you all again in our next paryaya Jan 2026

BHOOTHA KOLA

The coastal Karnataka is known for Bhootha Kola,  a highly stylised version of the ritual dance of the spirit impersonator. Considered as a complex mixture of beliefs, rituals, literature, music and theatrical elements. People wrongly describe Bhuta Kola as “devil worship”  The term “devil” has negative connotation and is a reflection of religious bigotry, and as such should not be applied to Bhuta Kola. In essence, the spirits or the bhutas  worshipped are considered to be the guardians of the villages, blessing and protecting the villagers and their livestock. Many of these spirits are said to be attendants of Lord Shiva or ganas.
Important aspects of Bhuta Kola are possession, trance and the dialogue of the possessed impersonator with the devotees. The Bhuta impersonator behaves like an incarnation of a concerned spirit, listening, solving problems, warning, comforting the devotees. He acts as a healer and solves the legal and judicial problems of the village.
The people of Tulu Nadu follow a tradition of dual worship that includes worshipping the puranic Gods as well as the local spirits. The puranic Gods are worshipped in temple under the leadership of Brahmin priests and the devotees are mere spectators receiving offerings and as such cannot be approached directly. On the other hand, the spirits are the localized and personalized deities who share a more intimate relationship with the devotees. The spirits have fixed spheres of influence and are generally associated with a family or village or region and the devotees offer them periodic oblation. In turn, the spirits protect the villagers and their livestock from danger and warn them as and when necessary.

BHOOTHA KOLA WAS CONDUCTED FOR GEJJE MALLI, VARTE, PANJURALI AND KUTTI DAIVAS RESIDING OUTSIDE SRIKRISHNA MUTT NEAR RAJANGANA. AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF THESE DAIVA’S 2 CENTURIES AGO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A BOOTHA KOLA WAS OFFERED. SRI NAGANANADA VASUDEVA ACHARYA, NAGAPATRI AND A CHILHOOD FRIEND OF SWAMIJI ORGANISED AND SUPERVISED THESE RITUALS.
