A Message from the Webmaster

I thought it prudent to explain the reason why I created a website for Edakkad Nambiars.

After living and working long years away from Edakkad, after having been exposed to various cultures and religions, I realised that we, the Edakkad Nambiars, are unique in some way. We have a history to be shared by each one of us, and that history needs to be preserved for the coming generations. We need a medium to preserve and share it, and a website would be a good idea.

Many of us who left our homes in the formative years of our lives do not know that history, or who is who in our “Big Family”. Some of the younger generations of Edakkad Nambiars, born and brought up in other states, are not aware of their kith and kin in Edakkad and in other parts of the country.

Personally, I have never seen some of my nearer cousins and nephews who were born and brought up in other states. It can also happen that some of us might meet in foreign lands and fail to recognise each other. That would be a sad thing to happen.

Other than our common heritage, we have our family temple Sree Oorppazhassi Kavu as a bonding factor. Each one of us, one time or the other, would have called or remembered our God Vettakkorumakan, and definitely, I am sure, that would have helped.

Therefore, I think each one of us is responsible for bringing up the name of our great temple in the spiritual map of Kerala and India. This website will endeavour to do so.

As of now, the website is a work in progress. A lot of information needs to be collected and sifted. I hope, in due course of time, and with the blessing of our great God, Vettakkorumakan, this website will enable Edakkad Nambiars to communicate easily and freely.

May his abode, Sree Oorpazhassi Kavu, become an important landmark in the spiritual map of India.
