Keerti Narayana temple is very important place in Talakkad, Karnataka. Like Srirangapatna, it has a very hoary historical background. Its sculptures are very famous. Due to the curse of a Queen, this place has become a sandy desert. Swamy Ramanuja had worshiped here. This temple had been taken over by Government and renovation works are going on, after about Ten years. The Lord is a large icon in standing pose with discus, conch and mace. The Lord pervades all without exception. Like ghee is invisible in milk, the Lord is within us. To get ghee, milk has to undergo many transitions and processes. Similarly, to view the Lord in us we have to undergo a detailed process! Purusha sooktam tells this. By clearly understanding the 16 riks in Purusha sooktam, we can clearly understand. In pralayam, all lose images and names. Later in creation, everything gets image and name.
