to be with nature & its stories

we friends @ btech went to Rayiranellor mountain.trekking was cool.there we saw the statue of "Naaraanath Bhraanthan".

he was one among Vararuchi's 12 kids .(Parayi petta panthirukulam["twelve castes borne from Pariah woman"])the great twelve ..

Mezhathol Agnihothri (Brahmanan), Paakkanaar (Parayan, a very low caste), Rajakan (Washerman), Naaraanathu Bhraanthan (Elayathu, a lower class Brahmanan), Kaarakkal Maatha (high caste Nair), Akavoor Chaathan (Vysyan), Vaduthala Nair (Nair Soldier), Vallon (Thiruvalluvar of Tamil Nadu), Uppukottan (Muslim), Paananaar (Paanan, a very low caste of country musicians), Perumthachan (carpenter), Vaayillaakkunnilappan (deity).

the story which shows the nature of Naaraanath Bhraanthan is very famous. once godess offered him blessings and he asked few to change fate..she wasnt able to etc...he is an example of selfishness = ZERO its great to read this legend.

varuchi was one among 9 gems at vikramaditya court.he was asked to find greatest sloka in Ramayana..he found it to be

"Ramam Dasaratham vidhhi, maam vidhhi Janakaatmajam Ayodhya mataveem vidhhi, gaccha thaatha yattha sukham"

(Consider Raman as if he were their father Dasarathan, Seetha as mother and the forest as Ayodhya; may the journey be a blessed one).

king was pleased..he later married a lower caste lady..they started pilgrmage & she give birth to these kids .soon after the birth of each kid vararuchi will ask if the kid had mouth.the innocent wife will tell truth & he will ask her to leave that kid there itself saying "God will feed it if it has mouth".she bacame very sad and atlast on birth of 12th kid she saying lie and that kid ,Vaayillaakkunnilappan became mouth less..we can find temples of these great people at palakkad district.Tritala is such a place..Perumthachan is famous among many as because of the movie ...he made a pond which appears to b of different geometric shape if we look from different angles as per differnt guys wana have pond of differnt geometric shape..thats his talent..later he killed his son..people say he was greater than Perumthachan .

you wil feel like really blessed if u go through these places...really cool places..

The story about Vararuchi is very nice. Can you write something more about Vararuchi's Sanskrit works?
