Oothukkadu Kalinganarthana Perumal Temple

Parihara Sthalam

The Paramatma, who resides eternally in Goloka, manifests in various parts of Bharata Desam (India) through temples and removes the sufferings of the devotees who come seeking Him. The reason He removes these sufferings is not to make us repeatedly desire worldly pleasures — because worldly realms are temporary, Krishna alone is eternal.

His true goal is to make us reach a state where we say: “I want nothing from You — I want only You.” If He gives that state first, no one would go to Him. Even if people do not go to Krishna, He loses nothing — but we lose greatly.
