Dolai Krishna

Six hundred years ago Sri Lakshminrisimha appeared in the dream of a great mahatma and instructed him to come to Ahobilam in the present day Andhra Pradhesh. His name was Srivasacharya. He reported this dream to his Acharya who instructed him to obey the command of Sriman Narayana. He then proceeded to Ahobilam from Kanchipuram, a distance of about 400 KM.

Upon reaching Ahobilam Sri Lakshminrisimha appeared before him and initiated the young Srinivasacharya into Sanyasam. This great Yati came to be knwon as Srimad Athivan Satakopa Jeeyar. He was the founder of Srimad Ahobila Matam. Then, Sri Malola Nrisimha jumped into the hands of the Jeeyar and asked to be taken to the villages all across India so that the common people can pray, worship, and celebrate the glory of Sri Malolan. From that time onwards till this very day, a row of 45 Sanyasis of Srimad Ahobila Matam have been criss crossing the land of Bharath taking Malolan to the villages and to the houses of countless devotees.

As Malolan did 600 years ago, perhaps Sri Krishna decided to criss cross the land of U.S. and visit with the devotees here. In the month of Vikrama Panguni (March 2001) Sri Krishna made an avathara at Sri Ahobilam and was worshiped by Srimad Azhagiya Singar at Ahobilam and Thiruppathi.

On April 6th, Navaneetha Krishna traveled 18000 k.m. to the shores of U.S.A. The journey of 400 KM by Srimad Athivan Satakopan 600 years ago from Kanchipuram to Ahobilam was much more arduous and momentous, it paved the way for the establishment of the great Sri Vaishnava Matam. The journey by Navaneetha Krishnan was made in the comfort of an airplane, but by the divine Sankalpam of Sriman Narayana it is a significant event in the lives of all Krishna bhakthas in the U.S. Since the arrival in the U.S. Sri Navaneetha Krishna has been on Sancharam visiting the houses of devotees. The Lord is waiting to visit your house. Please click here to arrange for a dolothsavam in your house.
