This year a major happiness for me is that my eight year old son has told me he wants to keep his own golu alongside mine, with idols of his favourite God, Krishna! So I have been procuring some dolls with Krishna tales, such as Krishna birth, Vasudeva carrying baby Kannan to safety, poothana moksham and other tales of young Krishna killing demons sent by Kamsa, kaliyamardanam (kalinganadanam in other words), kamsa vadham, Krishna Rukmini wedding, Kuchelan story, Krishna thulabharam, and so on.
In addition to Krishna idols, we will be keeping various temple idol models of Vishnu and Krishna in my son’s golu, and some other avatars of Vishnu. These include Hayagreeva-Lakshmi set, Ulagalandha Perumal, Varadarajaperumal and Perundevi Thayar, Sthalasayanaperumal, Tirupati Sri Venkatesharar, and so on.
Various gorgeous baby Krishna idols, made of varied materials and sourced from different parts of the country will also form a part of the golu.
I am having a great time finding beautiful idols, and teaching my son various stories from Srimad Bhagavatham using golu Bommai. It is a great bonding experience and I feel really happy to see his enthusiasm, especially when he enacts the scenes for me after I finish each story!
I am also expecting to get a really special Krishna idol, but more on that once Lord Krishna actually blesses us with that idol! It is just a hope at the moment.
