About Him
Bhagavatha Hamsam
 The
name of the Temple is synonymous with the name of the main priest, the
sage-like, scholarly Sankaran Nampoothiri. He has dedicated his humble
life to the worship of Lord Ganapathy and to the rendering and exposition
of the Bhagavatham, Born on February 2, 1921 son of Parameswaran Nampoothiri
and Arya Antherjanam, he passed through long and trying phases of illness
and suffering. On the advice of Brahmasree Padappa Nampoothiri, he started
rendering the Bhagavatham in total surrender to Lord Guruvayurappan. Very
soon matters took a turn for the better; his health improved and the Temple
was restored to its former glory.
His Bhagavatham sessions are renowned for their blend of simplicity and
erudition, attracting thousands of devotees. He was awarded the title
Bhagavatha Hamsam, having successfully completed 2,500 Bhagavatha Sapthas.
He also awarded the 'Poothanam Puraskaram' instituted by the Akhila Bharatha
Sree Guruvayoorappan Bhaktha Samithi and 'Dharmashreshta puraskara' by
Kerala Barahmana Sabha. To the people who come seeking his advice and
blessing.
Sankaran Thirumeni is divinity incarnate, a perennial source of wisdom
and serenity. Sankaran Nampoothiri has two daughters and two sons, Parameswaran
and Divakaran Nampoothiri, who are following their father's footsteps, serving
Lord Ganesha and working tirelessly for the upliftment of the Temple.
