Our Poojas

The last stronghold of Asarans, Kanadikavu Kuttichathan Swami Temple is situated at Peringottukara, endowed with the foot of several Yogivaryas and centuries of tradition. Devotees say that the impossible is possible with the blessings of Vishnumaya Kuttichathan Swami. Anyone who comes here is guided to the path of devotion by the spiritual presence of Brahmashree Vishnubharatiya Swami, who is equal to a sage and has witnessed the divine spirit of Kuttichathan Swami through his spiritual life.

Everyday thousands of worshippers come to the temple to find solace and relief from the problems that are haunting them. They offer various poojas and pray to Vishnumaya swami to take their sufferings away. Swamiji, who is infinitely forgiving and empathetic, rigidly adheres to temple rituals and lives a ritualistic life.After listening to the orders of Vishnumaya, the son of Mahadeva, the devotees are offered with solutions to overcome their personal sorrows as per the instructions of the Madathipathi and return home with a tranquil mind.

According to tradition, Sastha was once Chathan. Sastha was revered by the Dravidians and tribal people who owned this territory before the arrival of the Aaryans. Many devotees believe that just as Ayyanar became Ayyan, then Ayyappan, and finally Ayyappa Swami, so the Lord who declared, guarded, and guided dharma became Dharmasastha, and his boyhood exploits are what we witness now as the wonders accomplished by Kuttichathan or Balasasthavu.
