I am proud of both the logo and the name as the founder is originally me, I know what it stands for and therein lies the ‘tail’ of Whats In A Name!I’m from a town called Chingavanam in Kerala which is supposed to be God's Own Country. Brief about Chingavanam the ”Lion Forest” of Kerala. Chingavanam is located in Nattakom panchayat, Kottayam District. It is the biggest town in Nattakom panchayat which is the largest panchayat in kerala.

The place is about 8.5 km from Changanacherry on the Adoor -Kottayam MC Road. Legend has it that the name Chingavanam is derived from “Simhavanam”. Hence the name “LION FOREST”.It is near to Kurichi. Kurichi is 2.5 KM from Chingavanam- The Lion Forest of God's Own Country.

New Breakthrough "Magic Code" Makes Your Site Money!

If You Don't Click This You'll Miss Out on the Greatest Secret on the Web!
http://lionforest.magiccode.hop.clickbank.net
Click here for Top Secret Magic Code

Just Released: A New "Magic Code" that when added to any site you have causes your site (or even any site) to magically start making money.

No joke. This discovery was made by a New York doctor who for the last 10 years used it secretly to do everything from offset his advertising costs, to just adding it to 1,000's of webpages and amass a personal wealth now of nearly $100 million cash!

And now he's decided to allow you and everyone else to share in it (and since he stands nothing more to gain by keeping "you" in the dark about it).

As it turns out, a number of the largest online firms such as Alexa, and even a good number of the top 100 sites ranked on the entire Web are already using this amazing, but very simple secret.

Alexa, for instance, adds this code to a number of their webpages and it allows them to automatically generate an "extra" $90,000 a month in profits - and that for just a single webpage!

If you had 10 such pages that each did likewise, you'd "magically" get $900,000 every 30 days just poured into your pocket!

And most important: You should instantly recognize the fact that since a firm like Alexa (as well as about 34% of the Web's top 100 sites) is using this, then you too should be using it.

But here's what may SHOCK you the absolute very most ...
o It takes you just 45 seconds to add this code to any webpage
o Once added you do NOTHING further - but money just starts pouring in!

Click here for Top Secret Magic Code

And remember ...
Just in case you think this isn't for real, firms like Alexa and others in the top 100 wouldn't be using it (but they are; so what does that tell you?)

If you are wise and want to make your webpages pay you money automatically simply by adding just a simple string of 1-line code to any webpage, then you had best go here immediately:

Click here for Top Secret Magic Code

Why the need to RUSH? ... Simple:
The guy giving this out is letting just about another 500 to maybe 600 people at best find out about this, and then he's deliberately going to "pull the rug out from underneath" anyone else trying to get it!

Click here for Top Secret Magic Code

I know, I know ... That sounds very cruel and unfair.

But that's his doing; so rather than argue with him it would probably just be a better idea to just go there and grab it so that at least "you" don't get left out in the rain, right?

But fair warning, in case you stumble upon this too late, just don't be shocked to see it's no longer available.

How to Make $1,000's Weekly with a Health Internet Business of Your very Own

"Health Biz In a Box"

http://lionforest.healthebiz.hop.clickbank.net

Click here to go to Health Biz In A Box
Wise Online Entrepreneurs know that the best selling products online are health products and health-related ebooks, books, tapes, newsletter subscriptions, etc.

Now World famous Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst has just released her latest "shocker!" that makes it possible for just about anyone to profit from this fact.

She's making it possible for someone to get a fully-operational online "store" that specializes in "health-related" goods and services.

Literally now anyone can get a complete Internet "health" business in a box!

This complete website has a main product as well as up to 90 separate products that all center around breakthrough health products. And where YOU can earn some really HUGE CASH!

It seems that Dr. Suzanne has really done her homework (especially for YOUR benefit!)

First she correctly determined that according to Forrester Research (which is perhaps the most powerful & accurate online research database to date!) "health-related" products and information is by far the most sought after things anywhere online.

Nope! -- Despite what you might have thought, "sex," "porn," and "UFOs" are NOT the most searched for items on the Internet (but "health stuff" is hands down!)

Second, Dr. Suzanne's "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" shook the entire World with its release recently - and she's even made a special lead-capture page that you also get central to this amazing site!

Why is this important?

Simple: because Dr. Suzanne's affiliates are making millions right now with what is perhaps one of ClickBank's HOTTEST products (and this same product is the central seller at your new health e-Biz site!)

Third, the site you get also acts as a "database" that never stops growing so that you get 10,000's of customers you can continue to sell to over and over again other things!

Why is this important?

Again, very simple: anyone who's wise online knows that "backend" sales are chief to making long term and extra profits!

Dr. Suzanne's NEW "Health Biz In a Box" complete and fully-operational website you get for next to nothing contains an electronic "Automatic Sales Manager" (like a salesman robot - Ha!) built-in that works to upsell to your list over and over again so that you enjoy additional "automatic" income!

Fourth, Dr. Suzanne health-biz site also includes a complete health-related products Shopping Mall so that your site visitors stopping by are likely to buy at least 1 to up to 90 additional products creating instantly for you up to over a dozen other income streams!

This way you get the "most bang for your buck" so to speak!

As if all this weren't enough, the fifth (and perhaps the very best) thing about this automatic seller is the tiny spokesmodel "Rachel" that literally walks out onto your Health-Biz site and guides your site visitors (like a tour guide) through your entire site and what it has to offer!

Dr. Suzanne carefully tested the site both WITH and WITHOUT "Rachel" and accurately determined that the addition of "Rachel" boosted sites sales by as much as 396% (meaning nearly 4 times as many sales!)

Dr. Suzanne believes that having the spokesmodel adds credibility as well as an informative approach to the site so that it generates a much higher "conversion-to-sales" ration at large.

And ALL these amazing features stand to make YOU very, very rich as you get all of them with your own "Health Biz In a Box" website!

If any of this floats your boat, then I highly recommend you get over to:

=>> http://lionforest.healthebiz.hop.clickbank.net
Click here to go to Health Biz In A Box
...and because rumor has it that Dr. Suzanne may put a ceiling on the number of these Internet "health-biz" sites she's giving out in order to avoid everyone having one and risking market saturation.

Already people securing theirs have had nothing but great things to say about this:

"I'm so happy with mine! ... Having this site professionally set up by Dr. Suzanne's Team for us was the greatest thing we ever did! ... the site literally is just pouring money into our pockets even while we're doing other things, vacationing, and even crashing out!" -Cynthia Conrad, Atlanta, Georgia

"I never knew that making money online could be so easy!" -Richard Bosworth, SLC, Utah

"Health stuff is the real way to make money online easily ... everybody sooner or later has to have it!" -Carla Dupree, Boise, Idaho

"I'm making about $6,000 a week with mine ... and this after failing on the Net for nearly 10 years trying to sell everything else!" -Jason Herman, San Dimas, CA

"$500 a day is what this biz is shoving in my pocket! I even went out of town for nearly two weeks and my health biz site completely ran itself!" -Michael Sorbowski, Mason, Ohio

As you can see by these people's comments, everyone grabbing their own automatic health-products Internet business is raking in the cash! (And now you can too!)

Just grab yours now simply by going to:

=>> http://lionforest.healthebiz.hop.clickbank.net Click here to go to Health Biz In A Box

I guess I should have added above that not only do you get all the things I've described thus far, but you also get professional customized set up at no extra charge!

That's right! - Dr. Suzanne's own Team of web experts actually build your "Health Biz" for you so you don't have to!

They:

- design your site

- put all the 90 income streams into place

- install the electronic sales manager for you

- add sharp selling graphics

- add powerful videos

- add several other webpages

- and a complete online shopping mall of health products!

Click here to go to Health Biz In A Box
All so that you can earn big income online and while you sell product that help people and that you can be very proud to sell.

So all in all this is perhaps one of the BEST instant online ventures worth your time.

Get your now before the ceiling number is reached and maxed out...

New Breakthrough "Forced Money" System Just Released!

Revolutionary Breakthrough Technology that "FORCES" Cash Directly IntoYour Pocket!!


There's a "new" kind of website these days - one that "FORCES" money into your pocket!

The days are now over where you were left with just "chance" on your side when it came to making money on the Internet.

A brand new "technology" has been developed that makes websites pay you by "force!"

Short of putting a gun to people's heads and making them take their money out of their wallets and pay you without choice, this new technology might as well be the exact same thing.

This breakthrough was developed by a New York Virtual Marketing Firm, and is taking the Web by storm!

Already some pretty famous names are taking note of this new "money making invention" that "forces" money out of the Internet directly into your bank account!

A spokesperson for the NYC firm boasted proudly:

"Imagine the Worldwide-Web as an ocean of money ... our new technology merely makes a way for YOU to be able to dig a big trench from that 'cash-sea' directly into your backyard!"

And that's obviously a pretty amazing feat to say the very least!

People get a webpage that's NOT ordinary by any means!

The webpage "captures" a huge segment of the daily visitors it receives and winds up upselling them repeatedly with a predictable conversion each and every time!

Plus, the webpage has a "built-in" device that allows it to generate "free traffic" without end!

So considering the fact that you get free traffic, along with a predictable and steady stream of sales conversions, you get a guaranteed source of endless income!

Additionally, the webpage you get already contains a PROVEN digital product that no online marketer can live without, and one that is delivered where all your orders are filled automatically by another firm on behalf of you, the webpage owner! (And at no costs!)

Not only that, but the webpage contains a video that makes further an irresistible offer so that people must surrender their contact information, and which also becomes a VAST double-optin list!

This list is maintained by yet another separate online firm on your behalf, and that has the HIGHEST track record for getting over 98% deliverability for follow-up emailings (the same that convert another 378% more sales for you!)

So in a nutshell you get:

o An amazing website!
o A website that converts sales automatically!
o A website that puts "forced" money directly into your pocket!
o A website that's run by another firm for you (at NO charge!)
o A website that continues to promote for you over & over!
o A website that grows & cultivates a proven list!
o A website that functions automatically (so you never run it!)
o And a website that you get Free H0STING for!

So as you can easily see you get the whole "Sha-Bang!"

Here are just a few examples of the successes people are having using this "Forced Money" breakthrough system:

---> "Lisa C." Made $44,047 In Just 97 Days
---> "Jay R." Made $102,033 In Just 32 Days
---> "Cal W." Made $317,951 In Just 17 Days

Without wasting another moment of your time, why not go to the new site that shows you how you can get this site for yourself (if you'd like) for next to nothing? ...

~~~> http://lionforest.forcemoney.hop.clickbank.net

*But I must warn you that they are only giving away a very limited number of these "forced money" websites that forcibly pour money into your pocket! - So please [for your sake] HURRY!

More Ideas coming your way......

Buffalo Hunter - Wild Idea

Murrah Buffalo- Many aspects, One animal
Sorry I haven't been able to post anything the past couple of days, but they have been long and draining. I’m never short of enemies in my life but in the last few days I was having a different kind of enemy and war broke out. My PC is one of the things in life that keeps me going and it was attacked left and right. I was having a war with all the viruses and spy wares on my PC. The stuffs like info stealers and blackmail viruses were like 40 to 50 of them. Why would anyone want to steal my info as there is nothing in my CPU and I got everything in my head? Anyway I succeeded in killing them all.
Now I’m again back in track. Ok now let me tell you about me being called an Idea Factory. My mother told me that I was not born at home but in an Idea Factory. In fact I even made logos on that. It’s wild Ideas anyway. Here goes one of them.
We have heard about the recent shortage of diary milk and milk products in Kerala and the problems with ‘MILMA’ company which prompted me to write today about this so that the government of Kerala can learn a few things from IRAN - a country kept aloof from the world but still surviving and working hard to be self sufficient in everything even with the numerous trade sanctions placed by UN.
Recently I had an offer I couldn’t resist to export 20,000 Murrah Buffaloes from India to Iran and believe me after hearing about it people made remarks like as if it’s the last place on earth to do business with. But here we are talking about a 100 Million $ business deal. Funny eh! Well that’s how the figures work out. I was supposed to travel to Iran with a friend of mine just for a short visit as I heard it’s a very beautiful place with rivers and mountains. As usual lady luck didn’t give me a hand and my deal didn’t go through and my whole deal became a huge sand castle in the air. The situation in Iran regarding the nuclear stand off made things worst and my deal came to a stand still. Banks stopped opening LC accounts and the investors were worried about giving advance payments. I did a lot of painstaking research on the subject and actually learned a lot about the animal and the export trade. My efforts to study about the livestock trade made me realize about a wonderful resource found in India which the whole world is looking into. So just to tell you folks, here is a summary of the information I collected about the animal from 100 s of pages of research.
Let me tell you about the Murrah Buffaloes. Murrah breed of buffalo is good milk producer, not only in India but also probably in the world. Numerically India possesses the largest cattle and buffalo population for any single country in the world. We have in the country the world’s best dairy type buffalo — the Murrah — capable of milk yields as high as 35 kg a day. The buffalo of Murrah breed, which is described as the “Asian tractor”, is in fact triple purpose animal — for milk, meat and work.
Haryana is the home of Murrah buffalo. Here the Murrah buffalo keeping has a special role as its husbandry has been the way of life. Consequently, Haryana has the privilege of being known as the livestock mint of India. The state is now coming up as a market for producing export quality stock.
The Murrah buffalo is the finest genetic material of milk producing buffalo in the world. This breed has beaten the best dairy cows of the world in performance. We must capitalise this distinct status and launch the Murrah buffalo as an export item. Globalisation of Murrah would ensure not only better returns to farmers but would also facilitate the much-needed capital formation in the rural sector. Murrah export assumes further significance as it will contribute towards employment generation, apart from diversification of overburdened agriculture. Besides acquiring hard foreign currency, the Murrah export is deemed necessary to sustain the tempo of the farm sector as a whole.
Above all, the export of this new item will pick up at a much faster pace than that of traditional items. Of the total production of milk of India, about 53 per cent comes from buffaloes, 43 per cent from cows and 4 per cent from goats and sheep. For cow milk, the average fat varies from 3 to 5 per cent and for buffalo milk from 7.5 to 9 per cent. In economic terms, therefore, the rearing of buffalo is advantageous than cow keeping.
Considering the above facts, advanced dairy countries are studying the economics of Murrah buffalo keeping. During the past one year, a United States dairy firm had purchased Murrah buffaloes, each yielding over 25 kg milk a day, at a cost of ‘Indian Rupees 2.5 lakh each’ from Haryana. This shows that rich countries will soon switch over to Murrah husbandry.
Another apprehension is that like basmati rice they would also go in for the patents of Murrah breed of buffalo. The exotic cross-breeding in India is no more need of the day. It is desirable to use progeny tested bulls for taking up programme of Murrah breeding on a mass scale.
Some world records held by India.
WR: First Test-Tube Buffalo Calf
Scientists at the Embryo Biotechnology Center at NDRI, Karnal, led by Dr M.L.Madan, evolved the world's first test-tube buffalo calf, Pratham, in Nov.1990. The 38 kg male calf was born to a Murrah buffalo which had received the in-vitro fertilised buffalo embryo.
WR: Milky Way of progress
India started with a baseline annual milk production of 170 lakh tonnes in 1947.The figure skyrocketed to 771.8 lakh tonnes in 1999 making India the world's largest milk producing country. With the present annual growth rate of 5.5%, India is expected to produce 220-250 lakh tonnes of milk by the year 2020
WR: Largest producer of milk Products
India is the largest producer of milk products with production of milk powder alone touching 1,75,000 tonnes per year
And about the export trade I’m not putting it over here as it’s lengthy and trade secrets have to be secrets, right? Another wild idea will follow shortly anyway...
Cheers,
Deepak

A Personal Statement About Me

MY PERSONAL STATEMENT
My name is Anand Rajan, and I am an Indian citizen currently residing in Kuwait. I did all my schooling in Kuwait till the 10th standard and completed high school & college education Kerala, India. I just wanted to write a few things that interests me in life to start with.
Kerala, my home state, is known as God’s own country on the world tourism map. (You can read about my home town – Chingavanam the “Lion Forest” in my older posting.) Kerala is also known for its unique architecture which aptly suits the climatic conditions and cultural heritage of God’s own country. It is a unique amalgam of external influences that are both foreign and Indian, in origin. The Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim stretching upto China had the greatest impact on the style of architecture of Kerala.
The manifestation of external influences is evident in Kerala's architecture with its slopped roofs and all wood, coconut-frond thatched constructions. The 'Nalukettu' is flanked by out-houses and utility structures. The traditional houses of Keralities are built in accordance with the principles of 'Thatchushastra', the science of carpentry and 'Vaastushastra' the ancient Indian science of architecture. The Nalukettu is the traditional style of architecture of Kerala, wherein a house has a quadrangle in the centre. The traditional 'Nalukettu', barring the foundation and floor is made of carved and slotted wood and has a close resemblance to East Asian gabled and thatched structures. In later years, tiles replaced the coconut fronds. Originally the abode of the wealthy Brahmin and Nair families, this style of architecture has today become a status symbol among the well to do in Kerala. Nalukettu is evident in the traditional homes of the upper class homestead where customs and rituals were a part of life. The mansion is created using wood and tiles, central open courtyard and wondrous architecture. The interiors of the house are tastefully decorated with a wealth of antiques made from teak, sandalwood, mahogany etc.
As a little boy I was deeply attracted to my motherland’s architectural forms with its thatched or tiled roofs, antique wood carvings, artistic glamour and practical applicability making it a perfect combination of both beauty and practicality. My keen craving for the architectural knowledge spurred me on to pursue this love for Construction, Furniture and Interior Designing. I realized that in order to fulfill my future creative ambition, I need to gain theoretical/practical knowledge and vocational training in design, to complement my years of work experience.
What I lack is an understanding of the methodology of specific creative processes, to translate my unique artistic expressions. I decided to pursue my higher studies to meet the insufficiency of theoretical guidance. The program I chose in Interior Design is tailor-made to my individual aspiration and I can enhance and develop my knowledge and techniques. This wholly novel education system will be extremely nurturing to my professional development and will definitely be a turning point in my life and career.
I chose to do a program in Interior Design because I like painting and construction since childhood. I also earnestly yearn to create beautiful things on my own; and interior and exterior works to satisfy my imagination of spaces, materials and colour. To some extend I guess its ‘genealogy’. My inborn interest was cultivated by my father, who is a civil engineer by profession. He influenced me unconsciously since childhood and gradually gave me valuable knowledge in this field during my last 10 years of career. In fact, when I am engaged in what interests me, I never feel tired; instead I would feel motivated to press on and this to me is a very enriching experience.
After completing studies in Kerala, I landed back in Kuwait in 1997. I worked with an excellent precast company in Kuwait as a subcontractor engaged in precast unit installation and site works. The work experience from these projects made me very interested in new ideas in architecture and design from other countries. My experience for the past 10 years sparked my intention to study abroad, to learn more in-depth contemporary design concepts and techniques.
I have been working in Kuwait for the past 10 years. I am into business, working as a Civil Construction sub-contractor and have very good experience, knowledge, skill and dedication in Precast concrete Structural, Cladding and Architectural units erection and installation works, all sort of Interior and exterior works like Gypsum Partitions, False ceiling works, Plastering and Painting, Brick laying, Foam works, Reinforcement works, Conventional concrete works, Lighting works, Wood flooring, wood cabinet and paneling works etc. I have completed AutoCAD release 12 & 13 in 1996 and have good knowledge in interpreting Civil and Architectural drawings.
As a Sub-contractor for civil work and precast installation, I believe I gained excellent practical knowledge and understanding of architecture and construction. I am not satisfied with mere work experience, but would like to gain certified recognition as designing is not only a skill but also a combination of creativity and imagination which also needs nourishment from fine arts, material science and engineering. The working experience gained has heightened my interest in design and my desire to upgrade my skill sets.
As I was drawing to the end of this personal statement, I couldn’t help mentioning my other interest in life i.e. landscaping and gardening. I have been influenced by my mother’s deep interest and love of flowers and fauna from an early age. We have a huge landscaped garden in front of our house in Kerala but don’t know its condition as I haven’t been to Kerala for sometime. The landscaped design was done by me when I was actually 17 years old. So the art of landscaping attracted me deeply. I really feel interior designing, architecture and landscaping goes hand in hand and are closely inter-related.
I am good at sketching & drawing and I work with different mediums like pencils, water colour and oil as a hobby. I haven’t done any formal training in drawing too but it’s inborn. I started wood carving as a new past-time. I plan to start graduate school in this year hopefully if everything goes well this time as planned.
I really hope to get an accredited and recognized professional qualification to continue my business/professional career. So I’m off to a new country this year just like Columbus reached America not knowing what to expect. I’m ready to face the unexpected as my life is full of unexpected things. Not so happening but still with lots of happenings.
Everything in my life is just happening. I would like to continue writing about the happenings in my past, present and future but seriously don’t know where to start and what to write. I’m neither a writer nor a lecturer. so I just thought I’ll give a brief personal statement about me to give you a glimpse of my interests and future plans to start with and of course just to know me better. The story will continue ……….

Cheers,
Deepak

The sarawathi temple in the panachikadu village of Kottayam district, Kerala is known as Dakshina (southern) Mookambi. Even though many sarawathi temples perform pooja only during the ‘Navarathri period; this temple offers pooja throughout giving ‘darshan’ to the devotees.
This temple is situated in the panachikadu village 11 kilometers away from the well known Kottayam District Head Quarters of southern Kerala. This village resembles the famous kodajadri in the main central Road, between Kottayam and Changanasery, there is a small town called Chingavanam. Traveling 3.5 kilometers east from Chingavanam one can reach the temple situated in an idyllic and beautiful place.

When we reach the precincts of the temple we see first a “Vishnu temple “.just a few meters south of the Vishnu shrine we can see the ‘Saraswathy temple’ in a natural valley with the water dripping and flowing around the idol. The temple does not have the traditional sanctum sanctorum and other pompous structures of the temples elsewhere. There is a rectangular pond like structure as though it has been caved out of a granite hillock. In this pond there grows lush green creeper plants of exquisite beauty. Covered by the creeper the original ‘idol’ of Saraswathy remains. Near the original idol of “devi Saraswathy”there is another alternate idol on which all the poojas are performed.

Two things specially to be noticed here are the creepers and the immaculate spring. The leaves of the creepers which cover the idol are considered saraswathy leaves. The water comes from the spring here flows touching the feet of the “Devi” never dries even in the peak time of summer. Since the devi remains on such a “Saras” (small rivulet) the name Saraswathy becomes meaningful. The water required for poojas and other needs are taken from the spring. No well or other water sources are available here.

Above the Saraswathy temple on the western side there is a natural habitat made of exotic plants and their fragrant flowers. Here lives the ‘yakshi’ who is atonce fastidious and easily made happy. The idol of ‘brahmarakshasu’ is also installed here. Even though there are yakshi shrines in other temples, as well, the power of the yakshi at panachikadu seems to be super. In addition there are idol of Siva, Sastha, Ganapathi, Nagayakshi, Nagaraja and the like sub deities too here.

In the ‘lthihyamala’of kottarathil sankunni there is a detailed description of this temple-this temple having more than one thousand years of history, there are three Brahmin families, kizhupuram,Karunad and kaimukku,asits traditional care takers. From among these illams a respectful Brahmin from the kizhupurathillam disappointed by not getting a male child, took up a journey to Ganges to take holy bath. On the way reaching Mookambika he stayed there for a few days praying to the deity there. One day the devi appeared before him and advised him to go back to his native place. She told him that a nampoothiri lady of Karunattillam is now pregnant and that she will deliver two children. One of the children be adopted by him as his own and bring him up. As directed by the devi the next day the devotee took bath, worshipped the Devi and returned to his house. In his palm leaf umbrella there was Devi’s blessing and power. When he reached Panachikad, the palm umbrella become stiff without any movement. Then holy Godman appeared before him and pronounced that there is Devi’s power and blessings in the umbrella. He advised the Brahmin to do poojas and the power of saraswathy be installed in a temple at Panachikadu. An idol which was lying deserted there was seen. The Brahmin was told to incarnate the power of the devi in this old idol which was worshipped by Godman with supernatural power long time ago. Since such Godmen with supernatural powers are not available now an alternate idol was installed in Panachikad.

Even today in the temple of the care takers traditional rituals and poojas are performed as of then. The order in which Pooja performed to Mahavishnu, Sarawathy, Ganapathy, Siva, Sastha,Yakshii, and Nagaraja. Like the Ganges which touches the feet of Vishnu it is form the feet of Vishnu that the holy water flows to the shrine of Saraswathy.
From various parts of India devotees come here for ‘Darshan’ Irrespective of religions people come here for ‘Vidyarambham’ (the ceremony of beginning education). Except on the days of ‘Durgashtami’ and ‘Mahanavami’ all other days ‘Vidyarambham’ is performed here. The ghee enriched with; Saraswatha Manthram’ is distributed to devotees from here.
The intake of this ghee enriches the intelligence of children for intelligence and education this is considered very good. For Saraswathy and Vishnu, yakshi, Rakshas, Shasta, Siva, Ganapathy separate is offering can be made. Everyday early morning Pooja is performed to Saraswathi and Vishnu—for saraswathy ‘Saraswatha Sooktharchana’ and for Vishnu Purusha Sooktharchana’. On the Durgashtami’ Day special ‘Pooja’ is performed for text books, literary works and ‘Thaliola books’ of ancient wisdom. On the ‘Vijayashtami’ day these books are returned to the owners after Pooja.

Eminent writers and literary stalwarts like Karthika Thirunal RamaVarma Maharaja (Dharma Raja), Kerala Varma Vliakoi thampuran, A.R.Raja Raja Varma, Ullore the famous poet and other famous writers have come and stayed here for ‘bhajan’.
