There was a forest conservator called Narayana Pillai. He had no children. He came to know of a siddha purusa ... man of high attainments ... living in the woods of Aruvippuram. With his aides, he made a trail to the guru’s cave. He sought Guru’s blessings to have a child Subsequently a child was born to him. The Guru named the child Narayani Amma.

The trail brought many people to the Guru.Some of them took the initiative to build an ashram for the Guru. When people started coming regularly for his blessings the Guru thought of giving them a new direction. He decided to give them a temple. Until then, temples were for the exclusive use of people of certain privileged communities. He wanted to have a common place of worship where all could come and offer their worship with no estriction of caste, sex or religion.

The installation of the temple at Aruvippuram became a mile-stone in the history of India’s spiritual emancipation !When a Nambudiri ... Kerala Brahmin ...expressed his anger and concern about such an act of ‘ sacrilege ’, the Guru simply remarked

" I did not say to install any Namboodiri shiva.God is neither a priest not a peasant; he is in all, he is all"

The news of this silent revolution echoed to the far flung frontiers of India.
