Harivarasanam is a Hindu devotional song
recited at Sabarimala , before closing the temple door every night. The song
was written by Kambamgudi Kulathur Iyer and Swami Vimochanananda sang it for
the first time at Sabarimala. Though there have been many versions of this
song sung by many renowned vocalists, the Sabarimala temple plays the
rendition by K. J. Yesudas every evening after the final pooja.
Harivarasanam is written in Malayalam.
Sabarimala is located in the deep jungle area, and in the past a few pious
devotees managed the difficult pilgrimage. The temple opens during the
pilgrimage season (November to January) and also on the first day of every
Malayalam month. VR Gopala Menon, from Alapuzha used to accompany Thirumeni
Eashwaran Namboothiri, the Melshanthi (head priest), to Sannidhanam every
time, and would stay there by himself even when the temple was closed,
remaining undisturbed by the wild animals. Later, when Devaswom Board was
formed, it is believed that he was asked to move out. He eventually died at
a tea estate at Vandiperiyar.
Gopala Menon used to recite "Harivarasanam" with devotion during his time at
Sannidhanam, and when Thirumeni Eashwaran Namboothiri heard about the
passing away of the Revered Menon, he was deeply saddened. At the end of the
day's rituals, the Namboothiri was about to close the doors of the
Sannidhanam when he remembered the dedication and sacrifice of the Revered
Gopala Menon and he then began to recite "Harivarasanam"' starting a
nostalgic tradition that remains unbroken till date.
Today, as the final verses are being sung, all the assistant Santhis
(priests) leave the Sreekovil one by one. As the song ends, only the
Melsanthi is inside. He extinguishes the lamps one at a time and closes the
doors for the night.
Harivaraasanam- The sanctum sanctorum closes
with this song, each day.
