Kovindacharyan, the founder of Karanayil Madom in Ettumana, holds a significant place in history. Prior to the arrival of the Aryas, Sree Vishnumaya Chathan Swamy, affectionately nicknamed Chathan, was venerated by both the Gothra Vargas and the Dravidians, who ruled this land. This deity was summoned through intense meditation by Kovindacharyan. A captivating mythology envelops the transformation from young Kovindan to Kovindacharyan, intricately linked to the dominion of the Ettumana and Nalumana thamburakanmars. Following the decline of the land's feudal lords, substantial changes were elusive. The realm was mired in crisis and turmoil, extending even to neighboring territories, rendering them unsuitable for habitation. In a bid to mitigate more the crisis, the Ettumana and Nalumana kings resolved to cultivate the land for sustenance. However, despite months of effort, no crops flourished. Within the Karanayil Family, Vaeliya Kessunni emerged as the adept magician and healer within the palace of Ettumana thamburan. The majority of the sevamoorthis, or sacred idols, were under his purview. The very strength and success of thamburan were attributed to Kessunni, who possessed profound insights into the reasons for the land's barrenness and its current state. This knowledge was also shared with Thamburan. Naaduvaazi, the lord of the land, suffered insult at the hands of a cherumakidathan, leading to severe consequences, including the loss of lives. Even an adult devotee fell victim to the repercussions. These incidents marked the emergence of "Arukula," branding the land as infertile. Sinister spirits roamed the land, thwarting cultivation efforts. Naalumana Thamburan resolved to exorcise these malevolent entities. Several magicians were summoned to the palace for this purpose, yet only Kessunni and Ettumana thamburan grasped the ensuing ramifications, perpetually obstructing Naalumana Thamburan's endeavors. The ruler of the land was a malevolent spirit, a devotee of Sree Chathan Swamy. This spirit's dominance amplified the strength of all ghosts. Liberation, or "separation karmam," could solely be executed by those who devoutly worshiped Sree Bagavan Vishnumaya Chathan Swamy, the vessel of divine grace. These dedicated adherents held the ability to invoke Swamy's presence explicitly. To identify the most suitable magician, Ettumana Thamburan initiated an exhaustive quest. It became evident that Kessuni, equipped with profound mastery over mystical arts, was the sole contender for this monumental task. The appeasement of the Hill gods necessitated the performance of Sudham Asudhisaktheya karmam within the forest. In this endeavor, Kessuni played a pivotal role, with forest-dwellers earnestly imploring his participation. The moorthis—Malanayadi, Karinkkutti, and Karineeli—contributed significantly to the Hill gods' benevolence. Wrathful outbursts from these moorthis incited diseases and animal attacks in the forest. Kessuni, employing the sevamoorthis to counteract these assaults, was revered as a divine emissary, his magical feats a shield against adversity. Following these interventions, he was lavishly honored by the Hill gods, culminating in the acquisition of Karineeli mathav's core tenets from Karimban, the forest's valiant sentinel. Recognizing the potency of the Karineeli slogans in summoning Chathan Swamy, Kessuni embarked on a rigorous 41-day meditation in the depths of Kalladikod Malavaaram forest. Overcoming his own limitations, he communed with Karineeli mathav, who bestowed him with the empowering Chathan Swamy slogans. Her parting words resonated, "Your lineage shall achieve renown through these very verses." Kessuni committed the sacred verses to heart, his elation palpable. During the subsequent night, a divine vision visited his slumber. "To alleviate your inner struggles, introduce your son," implored the apparition, granting its blessings. Contemplating these revelations, Kessuni's contemplation turned to introspection. As he spent 41 days with his son in the forest, his wife, Kunjitheyi, bore a singular burden at home. A malevolent spirit infiltrated her being, leaving an indelible mark even after its departure. Upon Kessuni's return, news of his wife's inexplicable disappearance inflicted a profound wound.The anguish felt by Kessuni resonated deeply with the Ettumana kings. In alignment with their wishes, Kessuni took up residence in the palace with his son. Inspired by Kessuni's dream vision, the king ordained the transition of young Kovindan into a devotee of Lord Vishnumaya Chathan. In the days that followed, Kessuni and his son entered the Vadakkini room, a sanctum previously veiled and ritually purified, invoking the blessings of the sacred Ganga through recitation. True to prophecy, young Kovindan was graced with a radiant countenance. Under Kessuni's guidance, he etched his first words, "Om Harisree Ganapathaya Namaha," onto vellari parchment. The palace facilitated diverse mentors to tutor him in subjects ranging from vatezuth (grammar) to koolezuth (astronomy) and science. Kovindan's keen intellect facilitated swift absorption of knowledge. He delved into 108 Upanishads, ten mythologies, the Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, and Mahabharata. Embracing a comprehensive education, Kovindan subsequently immersed himself in the study of martial arts. Armed with both physical prowess and intellectual acumen, Ettumana King and Kessuni deemed him prepared for his destined undertaking. One fateful evening, during a shared repast, Kessuni unveiled the truth to Kovindan. "My dear son, now 14, on the upcoming Pournami day, you shall embark on a pivotal journey. Your mission is to liberate this land, for the time is nigh."
