LORD RAJARAJESWARA OF TALIPARAMBA

THE LORD MOURNS THE DEATH

This august deity liberated many upasakas as evidenced by the merging of one Zamorin the Lord. The Zamorin prayed for Sayujyamukti; and it was granted anon. The Lord has a soft corner for genuine devotees. He undergoes tortures and even forsakes luxuries for their well being. Like kith and kin he observes mourning at the death of the true bhaktas. 

There is a practice prevalent even now that whenever an elder Zamorin dies, it must be reported to the Lord. He observes mourning with due rituals. Ah! what a kinship between the adorer and adored! The grateful Bhaktas remember him on auspicious occasions and offer their mite.

The Mahrajas of Travancore being devout bhaktas; offer an elephant to the Lord, whenever a coronation for a new king is made, or on their visit to the temple. Should not royalty pay obeisance to the sovereignty in the fittest manner? Moreover, in deserving cases the Lord initiates the devotees into the mysteries of bhakti, and at times tenders jnanopadesa to the meritorious.
