VADABANDESHWARA Temple (Kannada )- Acharya Arun Prakash
At a distance of 10 Kms from Udupi Railway Station, Vadabhandeshwara Temple dedicated to Balarama which was earlier Subramanya Temple, the brother of Sri Krishna is situated near Malpe Beach. This temple is believed to have been built by Madhvacharya who built the famous Udupi Sri Krishna Temple.
The sea shore near Vadabhandeshwara Temple is said to be the place where Madhavacharya had a vision of Lord Krishna is a sacred spot and a shrine for Lord Subramanya is built here. Evening is the best time to visit this temple, which allows you to also visit the near by beach and watch the beautiful sunset.

Udupi - How the Deities of Krishna came to Udupi
How Deity of Krishna came to Udipi
The amazing story of how the Baala Krishna Deity crossed the ocean from faraway Dvaarakaa in Northwest India to Udupi in the south is told in Madhva-vijaya, the biography of Shrila Madhvaacaarya. Madhva wanted to have a temple of Lord Krishna in Udupi. Well, it so happened that in Dvaarakaa, one of the main places of Krishna?s pastimes on earth five thousand years ago, a Deity lay concealed within a large mass of gopi-candana clay (the yellowish clay Vaisnavas use daily in marking their freshly bathed bodies as temples of Lord Vishnu). No one knew the Deity was there, but because the lump of clay was exceedingly heavy, some sailors loaded it onto their merchant ship as ballast. On the ship?s southward journey, just off the coast of Udupi, a tempest blew the ship aground on a sandbank.
On that very day, Shrila Madhvaacaarya absorbed in composing Dvaadasha-stotra, his famous twelve-part poem praising Lord Krishna, had gone to the beach to bathe or, as some say, to receive the Lord. Upon seeing the ship caught fast on the sandbank and hearing the cries of the sailors in distress, Shrila Madhvaacaarya waved his cloth in their direction. This calmed the stormy seas, and the ship floated free. Madhva then guided the vessel to safety. Eager to show his appreciation, the captain offered Madhva whatever he wanted from the ship?s cargo. Madhva chose the heavy lump of gopi-candana clay.Disciple - attendants of Madhvaacaarya had just started back to Udupi with the large lump of clay when, but a short distance from the beach, the lump broke in two, revealing the handsome Deity of Lord Baala Krishna and The deity of Balarama which Madhavacharya installed at Malpe beach, in the Vadabhandeshwara temple. The Krishna deity, he brought to Udupi, and installed in his Matha there.But now the combined effort of thirty of Madhva?s disciples could not budge the Deity. Only when Madhvaacaarya himself embraced and lifted the Deity as if He were a child did the Deity consent to be moved. In great transcendental ecstasy Madhva carried the Lord the four miles back to Udupi. On the way he completed the remaining seven parts of Dvaadasha-stotra, reciting the verses out loud. Back in Udupi, Madhva bathed the Lord in the lake known as Madhva-sarovara and enshrined Him in the ShriKrishna Matha.
Shrila Madhvaacaarya instituted rigorous standards for worshipping ShriKrishna, and whenever he was in Udupi he would personally perform the thirteen daily worship ceremonies for the Lord.
How the Deity of Baala Krishna had come to be buried in Dvaarakaa is told in a work from the seventeenth century by Raghuvarya Tirtha, an aacaarya in succession from Shrila Madhvaacaarya. Once, during the time of Lord Krishna?s manifest pastimes on earth, mother Devaki lamented to the Lord over her misfortune at never having witnessed the Lord?s childhood pastimes in Vrindaavana. She entreated the Lord to make her happy and fortunate, like mother Yashodaa, by showing some of His childhood feats and frolics.

St. Mary's Island ( Malpe, Udupi )
St Mary’s Islands off the coast of Karnataka are four islands of immense geological value. The hexagonal columns of rock on the islands are similar to those on the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland and give clues to historic formation of land masses on the Earth’s surface.
Getting to St. Mary’s Islands
These islands are 6 km out at sea and can be reached by ferry. The nearest harbour to these islands is the fishing harbour at Malpe from where there is a regular ferryservice. The ferry plies between 8:30 am to 5:30 pm and accommodates 30 persons per trip.
Malpe is 58 km North of Mangalore and is well connected to Mangalore by road. Mangalore is the nearest airport besides being a major rail and bus terminus. Malpe is 4 km away from Udupi. Udupi is connected by rail and road to Mumbai, Thiruvananthapuram, and Mangalore.
There are no accommodation facilities available on St Mary’s Islands. There are several resorts at Malpe and Udupi . Udupi can be used as a base for a day excursion to St Mary’s islands.
Some Facts About the Islands
St Mary’s Islands were named “El Padron de Santa Maria” by the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama as a dedication to Mother Mary .Vasco da Gama is supposed to have landed on these islands in the course of his voyage to Calicut. The four largest islands are named Coconut Island, South Island, North Island, and Daryabahadurgarh Island.
Geological studies indicate that these islands were created at the time that Madagascar and Africa separated from India. The rocks are hexagonal in shape, columnar in form, and made of basalt. These rocks provide a convenient vantage point for tourists to catch a glimpse of Malpe harbour and the sunset over the Arabian Sea.
These islands do not have a sandy beach due to the rocks along the shoreline. A large variety of seashells are found along the rocks. Benches have been installednear the shoreline for the benefit of tourists. Apart from coconut palms, there is very little shade. The quality of amenities for tourists is very poor. The traveller should go prepared for the searing sun with caps and bottles of drinking water.
Popular Tourist ActivitiesThe entire island can be trekked across in 90 minutes. Sea shells scattered along the shoreline are interesting to collect and study.
Bird watching is a popular activity on the islands. Commonly spotted birds are Brahminy kites, white and grey egrets, Sandpipers, and seagulls.
Tourists have reported the presence of colonies of butterflies on the island.
Places Around St Mary’s Islands
The Vadabhandeshwara temple dedicated to Balrama was consecrated by Saint Madhwacharya.This spot attracts many pilgrims. The ruins of the Daria Bahadurgarh fort can be seen on the islands. The fort is thought to have been built by Bidanur’s chieftain, Basavappa Naik
Malpe beach is unique in that it has silvery powdered sand and a serene stretch of sea. The coconut palms and colourful sunsets have made this place a popular tourist spot.

St. Mary's Island#udupi -karnataka# beautiful island# coconut island
St. Mary's Islands, also known as Coconut Island and Thonsepar, are a set of four small islands in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Malpe in Udupi, Karnataka, India. They are known for their distinctive geological formation of columnar basaltic lava
A visit to St Mary's island is recommended for those people who have a penchant for rock formation. The rock structure seen over here is completely different than the boulders and stones seen elsewhere. The local auto driver was stating that this sort of rock formation is only seen here near Malpe (St Mary's) and then in South Africa. There are 2 options to reach the island. 1 is through Malpe tourism which is Government run , you can mention Government boat point . The other option is a provate one which starts from Malpe beach. I will give some important details here:-
1) The price is quite expensive, it costs 250/- per adult. Children above 10 are considered as adult. For children below 10, the fare is 150/-
2) Ticket purchased for Government boat would have to be used only in the Government boat, both to and Fro. You cannot take use this ticket on the private boat in the return journey.
3) Biggest drawback of the government boat is that they need a minimum headcount of 30 to start the boat whereas the private boats from Malpe beach are small and ferry 12 people. We had to wait for an useless 45 minutes waiting for people to pool up.
4) The distance from the wharf to the island is 5 kms and it takes approximately 30 minutes (+/- 4-5 minutes). The boat can ferry up to 150 people and they have adequate life jackets onboard. It is mandatory to put on the life jacket.
The western coasts of the islands are a seashell haven with seashells of various shapes and sizes littered along the coast. There is no sand beach to swim and relax since it is scatted with basaltic rocks. The beach has security guards who ensure that visitors do not venture into danger zones of the islands.[15]
All links to the island are only through the mainland town of Malpe, which is a major fishing harbor. The beach at this location is enlivening. It is located 5 km west of Udupi town, the administrative headquarters for the Islands. Apart from the Islands, Malpe too has tourist attractions such as the Vadabhandeshwara Temple and an image of Sri Balarama consecrated by the saint Madhwacharya, the founder of Dvaita Philosophy.[16]
A detailed description of the natural flora and fauna of the islands and the Deria Bahdur Ghur (the islands north of the port of Malpe, named after the cross set up by Vasco da Gama), have been compiled in a manual by John Sturrocks, the district collector of Mangalore in 1894.[17]
Flora and fauna
Colonies of gulls, Scolopacidae (sandpipers) and a few crows have been sighted on the Islands. But on the approach to the Islands from the Malpe beach, brahminy kites (Haliastur indus)), great white egrets, grey egrets (breeding plumage) and groups of large green bee-eaters have been recorded.[18]
Visitor Information
The Islands are bereft of buildings, fences, shops. There are no domestic animals either. There are only covered pavilions with park benches on the shore and further inland. Visitors can wander around freely and enjoy the hexagonal formations from vantage locations. Visitors have to carry drinking water and sun screens since the climate is usually hot. Since the last few yards of the approach to the island involves wading, it may be preferable to avoid wearing sneakers.[18]

SUMMARY
=======
Karnataka, the eighth largest state in India, has been ranked as the third most popular state in the country for tourism in 2014. It is home to 507 of the 3600 centrally protected monuments in India, the largest number after Uttar Pradesh. The State Directorate of Archaeology and Museums protects an additional 752 monuments and another 25,000 monuments are yet to receive protection. Tourism centres on the ancient sculptured temples, modern cities, the hill ranges, forests and beaches. Broadly, tourism in Karnataka can be divided into four geographical regions: North Karnataka, the Hill Stations, Coastal Karnataka and South Karnataka.
The Karnataka government has recently introduced The Golden Chariot – a train which connects popular tourist destinations in the state and Goa.

The language has roughly 43.7 million native speakers, who are called Kannadigas (Kannadigaru). Kannada is also spoken as a second and third language by over 12.9 million non-Kannada speakers living in Karnataka, which adds up to 56.6 million speakers. It is one of the scheduled languages of India and the official and administrative language of the state of Karnataka.The Kannada language is written using the Kannada script, which evolved from the 5th-century Kadamba script. Kannada is attested epigraphically for about one and a half millennia, and literary Old Kannada flourished in the 6th-century Ganga dynasty and during the 9th-century Rashtrakuta Dynasty. Kannada has an unbroken literary history of over a thousand years. Kannada literature has been presented with 8 Jnanapeeth awards, the most for any Dravidian language and the second highest for any Indian language.Based on the recommendations of the Committee of Linguistic Experts, appointed by the ministry of culture, the government of India designated Kannada a classical language of India. Kannada is considered to be one of the oldest living languages . In July 2011, a centre for the study of classical Kannada was established as part of the Central Institute of Indian Languages at Mysore to facilitate research related to the language.
