A new aquatic dweller has appeared, casting a spell of surprise over devotees in an unexpected sequel to the mystical story of Ananthapura Sri Ananthapadmanabha Swamy temple. This divine happening occurred exactly a year after the adored crocodile ‘Babiya,’ celebrated as a reincarnated divine power,’ bid its earthly abode farewell on October 9, 2022.
Uncovering the Mysteries
Uday Kumar Gatti, the temple’s chairman, confirmed the appearance of the mysterious new crocodile after a family from Mavungal reported its sighting on November 8, 2023. After receiving a reception with scepticism on social media, the family’s allegations acquired credibility when they visited the temple on November 11, 2023.
A Sacred Legacy Legend recalls the story of Babiya, a spiritual epic that began in 1945 when a British soldier shot a crocodile at the temple lake. In order to verify the most recent discovery, the temple committee enlisted the help of a Chennai-based crocodile specialist, who confirmed the new crocodile’s connection to Babiya.
Size does matter or does it ; Implications Explained
Despite its small stature, the newest visitor is the temple lake’s third crocodile. A committee meeting is set up to investigate the significance of this unexpected visitor, which is sparking the followers’ spiritual connection with the late Babiya.
Sacred Traditions and Unexplained Phenomena
The temple, located in the northern Kerala state of Kasaragod, conforms to traditions, with a solitary crocodile inhabiting the sacred lake. The mysterious phenomena of succeeding crocodiles coming following the death of their predecessor adds to the mystical air, reminiscent of the fabled Gajendra Moksha legends in the Bhagavata Purana.
The mysterious reappearance of the crocodile adds an extra element of enigma to the spiritual tapestry of Ananthapura Sri Ananthapadmanabha Swamy Temple, as devotees and temple committee members stand on the verge of another chapter in the temple’s enchanting journey.
