different schools in and around of Kodungallur. Mananeeya Lakshmi Didi
explained about the significance of ‘Guru Parampara down the ages
namely, Narayana, Padmabhuva, Vasistha, Saktrimaharshi, Parashara,
Vyasa and Sukha and how during Vyasa’s time all the divine knowledge
which the previous seers had passed on to their respective disciples
orally, were codified into texts called vedas and later on puranas. It
