SRI VADAKKUNATHAN OF TRICHUR

Father is God on earth, and God does no wrong. Result! that implicit faith gave life to mother, and made him the lone-example of dutiful son. When the question of taking revenge on power mad ruler, he excelled Rudra and felt satisfied only when the whole Kshatric power was stamped under his feet; retrieved a great mass of land from the Sea god by hurling his potent axe into him for causing harm to the ascetics, and finally toured from end to end propitiating the divinities and installing them in appropriate places along with appointing priests, codifying rituals, framing injunctions for due conduct of prayer services and running temple administrations. 

There is no shrine without visited by him, nor bearing the stamp of his powerful brain or fully evolved soul. What Kerala is today is what he left behind in every realm of human action. Its highest literacy and greatest enterprising supremacy etc., are but the outcome of his domineering personality, peerless magnanimity and inimitable spirituality.
