The proposed temple will be the first ever Guruvayurappan temple in the UK. This will also be the first temple which follows the traditions of tantra based on the Tantrasamuchaya, a treatise on temple rituals written by Chennas Narayanan Nambudiri, the hereditary tantric priest of Guruvayur Temple at Kerala, India. The arrival of Sri Guruvayurappan to London will promote the glory of sanatana dharma to the whole world particularly among the devotees in the UK.
A tantric Hindu temple is a place of worship that follows the tantric tradition of Hinduism, which is an esoteric yogic tradition that developed on the Indian subcontinent. Tantric Hinduism emphasizes the mutual intense emotional attachment and love of a devotee toward a personal god and of the god for the devotee, and uses mantras, rituals, and meditation techniques to achieve liberation and union with the divine. It can help you expand your mind and liberate your dormant potential energy, as tantra means “expansion-device, salvation spreader; loom, weave, warp” in Sanskrit.
