Brahmasree MALLIYOOR , a Living Legend !!!

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna ! Dandavat Pranam to Bhagavan Sri Krishna and all Vaishnavas , “Bhagavata-Hamsam” Brahmasree Malliyoor Shankaran Namboodiri is a living Legend of Krishna-bhakti . He was born on 02 February 1921 as the eldest son of Parameswaran Namboodiri and Arya Antarjanam , in the Vedic brahmin family, Malliyoor . He was sick by birth . Severe illnesses and extreme poverty made his childhood miserable . In spite of all these miseries , he grew up as a loyal

Krishna-bhakta .The poor parents some how managed to provide him Vedic education . The traditional “Brahmana-upanayanam” (initiation) was performed at the age of (8) followed by “Samavartanam” before he was (14) . Malliyoor Sankaran Namboodiri started working as a temple-Pujari . Being a scholar in Srimad Bhagavatam

, he later dedicated own life to “Bhagavata katha-kathanam” ( ritual narration of Bhagavatam-stories ). His “Bhagavatam-nectar” quickly gained immense popularity among Krishna-bhaktas . Later, Malliyoor initiated “Bhagavata-SaptAham” movement in Vedic temples, which practically “Bhagavatised” Kerala . His ‘Dharma-patni’ Subhadra Antarjanam (daughter of Brahmasree Melathoor Arappanadu Bhattathiri) took total care of the family and fully supported husband’s Bhagavata-SEVA . Bhagavata-SaptAham Bhagavatam is the essence of the Vedas ; and it is called “adhyAthmadeepa” , the light of the self. It is beneficial to the whole humanity, and removes the three kinds of miseries , namely, “Adhidaivika” (calamities due to karma or fate) , “Adhibouthika” , (obstacles due to other beings) , and “adhyAthma” (troubles that come from one's own nature) . It is a fact that , when one wishes to read or hear Bhagavathm, Bhagavan Sri Krishna appears in his heart . Sage Suka narrated Bhagavatam to king Parikshit in

seven days . On the first day, it was till “varahavathara” , on second day till “ jatabharatha” episode, on the third till “amrthamathanam” , on the fourth till “krishnavathara” , on the fifth till “Rukminikalyanam” , on the sixth day it was till “uddhavasamvAdha” and the last day Bhagavatam was finished. This practice to read Bhagavatham in the same order for seven

days is known as BhagavatasapthAham . ( Please see the attached photo) . Brahmasree Malliyoor and disciples have successfully completed several thousands of BhagavatasapthAhams feeding the nectar of Krishna-Bhakti to millions of devotees . Thousands of Krishna-devotees have benefited from His divine grace and they gratefully adore Him as a “divine representative” of Bhagavan Sri Krishna . The numerous titles bestowed on Brahmasree Malliyoor include the following

: Bhagavata-Hamsam ( By Guruvayoor Bhagavata Vijanana Samiti) . Bhagavataseva-Ratnam ( “Guruvayoor temple’s Janamashtami-award .The Head of Kanchi Matha personally came to present this to Malliyoor) . The Miraculous “ Vaishnava-Ganapati ” in Malliyoor Temple . Malliyoor’s family-deity is “Beeja-Ganapati” in the very ancient stone-carved temple . Since more than (50) years Brahamasree Malliyoor has been reciting Bhagavatam keeping a salagramam in front of temple’s Presiding deity Ganapati . It is a very rare practice to worship one’s “Ishta-Devata” in front of another Deity. However , Malliyoor did this to fulfill His obligations towards His “family-deity Ganapti” and His own “Ishta-Devata, Sri Krishna” .

The result of the above ‘atmic-sadhana’ was a miracle . Vedic Brahmanas and Vedic-Jyotishis have found in this Ganapati-Deity an extremely rare superimposition of “Krishna -Chaitanyam” . Hence this Deity has become a unique “Vaishnava-Ganapati” ( See attached Picture) . In spite of His exalted status as the greatest

Vaishnava-Acharya in Kerala , Brahamasree Malliyoor is a picture of humility and compassion. The ever smiling Acharya feeds everyone who visits Him is absolutely free from materialism. In the true Vaishnava tradition , Brahmasree Malliyoor have imbibed in both of His sons (Paramseswaran Namboodiri and Divakaran Namboodiri ) “Bhagavata-dharma” ; and both of them are assisting Him in BhagavatasapthAhams . Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!!! SriKrishnaDasa Rajeev . Attachments : 1) Malliyoor. 2) Bhagavata-SaptAham. 3) Vaishnava-Ganapati .
