There will always be huge crowds queuing outside the Guruvayur temple, waiting for the darshanam. In such situations, I have found that a simple remedy has been of great benefit to me, in passing the time and in overcoming tiredness/boredom while waiting the queue. Whenever I stand in the queue and mentally recite the Vishnu Sahasranamam while pondering the meanings of the nama-s, I have found that the crowd moves forward quickly, allowing me to have darshanam in quick time. I found this working, not once or twice, but many times. Whenever I was travelling in a crowded bus, the same simple remedy has fetched me comfortable seat/accommodation in quick time. The key thing here is, "pondering on the meanings of the nama-s", and connecting them with that eternal, all pervasive Para Brahman, as stated by the Bhagavad Gita. When I come to think of it - as the Brahma Sutras state - "Athaatho Brahma Jijnaasa" - so isn't this meditation on VSN naamas, one way of performing Brahma Jijnaasa too?
