VISHNUMAYA TEMPLE
The Kanadi Kuttichathan Kavu is the most holy and ancient Vishnu Maya
Temple in the state of Kerala providing relief to sorrows and showering
blessings and prosperity to all the devotees irrespective of caste, creed or
religion. This temple having many epics and with rare historical importance is
situated 20 km South-West of Thrissur in Peringottukkara, a land made
sacred by the foot prints of many great sages.
The presence of Brahmasree Vishnubharatheeya Swami, the sage-like
Spiritual Guru and the Madathipathi of Kanadi Kavu, who had the fortune to
have a holy glimpse of the sacred effulgence of Kuttichathan Swami through
a strict life style of religious discipline fills the devotees with a desire to have a
strong spiritual life.

3. WHO IS VISHNUMAYA ?
The all merciful and sympathetic Swamiji observes the temple rites strictly,
and leads his life as a ritualistic. Thousands of devotees visit this temple
every day. After listening to the orders of Vishnumaya, the son of Mahadeva
(Chathan - Balasasthavu), they offer the remedial measures to overcome their
personal sorrows as per the instructions of the Madathipathi and return home
with a tranquil mind. There is a legend that Sastha was originally Chathan, the
change of name coming through many years of usage, who was worshipped
by the tribals and the Dravidians who were the owners of this land before the
arrival of the Aaryans. Many devotees believe that just as Ayyanar became
Ayyan and then Ayyappan and Ayyappa Swami, the Lord who pronounced,
protected and advised dharma became Dharmasastha and his boyhood
adventures are what we see today as the wonders performed by Kuttichathan
or Balasasthavu (The boyish form of Sasthavu)
