However, they were not Naduvazhis. They were 'Ooralars' (Trustees) of Cheriyanad Balasubrahmaniyaswamy temple in earlier days.San1234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982207690876666118.post-55556393074415243232011-06-01T18:56:47.955-07:002011-06-01T18:56:47.955-07:00hai Anonymous (the last 2 comments), glad to hear ...hai Anonymous (the last 2 comments), glad to hear about your VIP client and your aunt, if you want to sleep with the 'priest's wife', just go and sleep....i am not interested to hear about that.<br />- Sharat Sunder RajeevSharat Sunder Rajeevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03221158466303257417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982207690876666118.post-7349472362332082442011-05-11T05:35:51.465-07:002011-05-11T05:35:51.465-07:00my aunty was the local prostitutue near the temple...my aunty was the local prostitutue near the temple. the temple priest and some landlords slep with my auntie.

Till independence and the organization of the devaswon board, the Cheriyanad temple was the private property of the Oovampallil Thampuran who was a Namboodiri from Cochin. He came very rarely to Cheriyanad and the last time, in 1930, he took away most of the gold and ornaments of the temple owing to problems. But i am almost certain that this namboodiri was the thampuran indeed.manunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982207690876666118.post-81604505152334163662009-04-11T03:09:00.000-07:002009-04-11T03:09:00.000-07:00i have heard the lotus story many times from my gr...i have heard the lotus story many times from my grandmom. Infact i am also told that the house my great great grandad built had its foundation stone and sthanam laid by the edavankadan asari, the same man who was awarded the horse by the king. This was a very interesting read. Also since i hail from cheriyanad, i have never heard of any naduvazhi nampoothiri. There are no namboodiris in cheriyanad, only pottis. The feudal lord of the village was the Ariunni Panicker but I have heard that during the time of the Kayamkulam Rajah, the Nallur madhom potti, from whom i am descended, was the chief person in the temple. maybe the brahmin in question was him.manunoreply@blogger.com
