OPINION | Recounting and Celebrating Goa's Hindu Identity on Sri ... (News18)

It is Shree Devkikrishna Ravalnath temple Saunsthan, which has among the most ancient temples. Originally, these were set up by the Saraswat Brahmans in Goa.

That is how DevkiKrishna temple was first shifted to Mayem of Bicholim Taluka and then to Marcela of Ponda Taluka through the Cumbarjua canal in canoes. Many of the demolished temples were reconstructed in safer regions, deities reinstalled and they prospered. This is the only temple dedicated to Devkikrishna in the entire world. The destruction under five-century foreign rule left fragments of images found, and of which some were lost, in the foundations of churches and other Portuguese structures. Even the land and income of these forsaken temples were not spared, it was used in the building and services of churches. Periera further wrote, “It was the time when the persecution of Hindus was sanctioned by royal orders and executed brutally by Christian Missionaries. The temple has the distinction of being the only temple in Bharat where Sri Krishna’s biological mother Devki is worshipped along with Bal Krishna (Sri Krishna in child form). Among the temples of Shree DevkiKrishna Ravalnath temple Saunsthan, Sri Devkikrishna temple is of great religious significance. The Hindu temples which existed in this territory were destroyed by 1540. It is time to reintroduce us to some of the unique temples that faced destruction, but their deities were protected by devotees. This was the time when invaders of Bharat with all their might were carrying their objective of the destruction of Hinduism. Legend has it that during the times, a battle was fought between Krishna and Balaram on one side and Jarasandha on the other.
