Karuppasamy- A Performer God

Karuppasamy is a Performer God. He is considered as a village god.  He not only guards his devotees, but also their paddy fields, cattle's etc. 

He is result oriented God, as he is always performing. He insist on results. Something about Karruppa Swami is if you do some offering / prayers to him at 8:20 pm at night and offer your prayers. And tell HIM that you need HIS divine guidance and he for sure come and intervene. 

Karruppa Swami runs to solve devotees problems, as it's said that HE is very close to earth plain and is concerned about devotees problems.... 

Poonthanam

Poonthanam (author of Gnana Paana) in Manipravalam (Malayalam). He hailed from Shoranoor. Poonthanam used to visit Guruvayoor on every Ekadasi and he watched Bhattadri writing about Guruvayoorappan. 

He had also heard about the greatness of this great disciple . On one such occasion, Poonthanam with all humility approached Bhattadri with his work Gnana Paana to go through the same and offer his comments.

Bhattadri in his arrogance would not touch the work of Poonthanam as it was in Malayalam and not in Sanskrit.  Poonthanam dejected went back to Shoranoor. 

Next day when Bhattadri sat down to continue his Narayaneeyam, to his surprise he realized he could not do so. He asked Guruvayoorappan the reason for the same. 

The Lord replied “You have insulted my devotee yesterday and unless you go ask Poonthanam for his pardon and read his work, you will not be able to continue your work!”

Lord continued “Language is no barrier to Bhakti”.  Bhattadri went to Poonthanam’s house and apologised  for the  offence . 

Today on the occasion of Poonthanam day, let's sing " Krishna Krishna Mukunda Janardhana Krishna Govinda Narayana Hare "  - Regards, Mahesh Jayaraman
