Officials-in-charge
sympathizing me, expressed regret, citing the above sad state of
affairs that hindered their upkeep. This version I heard at
Trivendram State Archives first, when visited for collection of
material for Chengannur Bhagavati temple was repeated elsewhere too
without modification or change in tone. So I relied on the secondary
evidence, consoling myself that this is not for the doctoral
dissertation, nor the readers insist on dates. The facts are
reported as they happened, of course, the beginning and ending bear
the stamp of my style adapted to imprint the truth upon the minds of
the meddlesome and quarrelsome atheists, the eternal truth about the
existence of God.
Vigour and intensity have specially been infused
into them to drive home the truth - agnosticism pays out, nor
denigration brings credit to any. Theism ushers in harmony and
enhances mental peace. If this is kept in mind and read, from first
to last, I'm confident that the dust settled on the coloured glasses
would automatically be whipped off and enable them clear vision. I
wash and pray for it.
