 Mr Rajaram,
Please do not beat around the bush. I  wrote Thumbikkai Alwar is the word used 
by Vadakalai iyengars for Ganapathi and provided proof by google search. Your 
knowledge is very little. Don't boast you are highly calibered. 
Regarding Thenkalai -your lineage, I have read you yourself has written in the 
postings, you were born in a Thenkalai Iyengar family near Swamimalai. I have 
deleted most of your posts containing no relevant matters. So I am not able to 
reproduce your mail. I will not write lies. Gopalakrishnan

 So Gopala you are a vadakalai iyengar? You said I am thenkalai because u and 
ur vulgar friends wrote.  Go to Parthasarathy temple and make enquiries. And if 
you show one verse on vaishnavism where thumbikkai azhwar is used you prove 
something; heshyam and Hetu and mockery are not relevant. My authority I wrote 
stainless so; and heshyam is not a botheration; if that word is in Vaishnavism 
word vishwak senar is found in verses but nowhere in any ancient scripture till 
`1900 AD no one knew about it. You have to study a lot and not assert gossips

 Mr Rajaram,
I am told by a vadakalai iyengar, Mr Gopal from T Nagar Chennai- my colleague 
at Calicut as DE that  the name for Ganesha in iyengar language is thumbikkai 
Alwar. Being a Thenkalai iyengar you may not be knowing much. I  can never 
think, an orthodox iyengar like him cannot go wrong.
I am attaching a google search information about Thumbikkai alwar. As I wrote 
earlier- You do not much, underestimate other's calibre. Even God cannot save 
you. 
"Thumbikkai Alwar, meaning "Alwar with the trunk" in Tamil, is a term used to 
refer to Lord Ganesha within the context of Vaishnavite temples, particularly 
in South India. It combines "Thumbikkai" (trunk or elephant's trunk) with 
"Alwar," a term for revered Vaishnavite saints. Essentially, it's a way of 
depicting Ganesha with the reverence of an Alvar within a Vishnu-centric temple 
setting. Here's a more detailed explanation:    
   - Context:In Vaishnavite temples, which primarily focus on the worship of 
Lord Vishnu and his avatars, Ganesha is sometimes given a special place and 
referred to as Thumbikkai Alwar. 
   
   - Symbolism:The term highlights Ganesha's unique form, specifically his 
elephant head and trunk, while also associating him with the revered Alwars, 
the poet-saints of Vaishnavism. 
   
   - Significance:This depiction signifies Ganesha's importance as a guardian 
deity and his acceptance within the Vaishnavite tradition, even though he is 
traditionally associated with Shiva and his family. 
   
   - Examples:The Parthasarathy Temple in Chennai is an example where Ganesha, 
as Thumbikai Alwar, is housed in a niche on the right side of the second 
Gopuram (tower).

Thumbikai Azhwar...Oh really??

When it comes to vishwaksenar there is so much doubtsaround him. IF one 
searches internet can find many such  queries ranging  from is vishwaksenar 
noneother than Ganesha to what not! this is just my humble attempt to clarify 
manyof the common doubts that i get to hear around this great Nithyasuri.

Nithyasuris are those who are always with Sriman Narayananin Parama Padam. 
Nithya means one with no end, forever. Suri means smart, all-rounder.Hence they 
are very powerful.

coming to Vishwaksena.He is also called senaithalaivar,senai mudaliyar( again 
here mudaliyar meanssimilar to mudalvar not anything else). He has no name such 
as Thumbikai Azhwarfor that matter, there is no one called Thumbikai Azhwar in  
sampradayam.It is a name given in modern dayswhich never existed in any of the 
puranas or anywhere else.

Vishwaksena bears all the similar lakshanams to Mahavishnusuch as a " human 
form" with four arms bearing the shankha and chakraalong with a staff

The shloka describing his Thirumeni or divine form is

vishwakse:nam sakala vibudha prowdda sainya:dhi

na:dhammudra: chakre: karathala yuge: sankha dande:

dadha:nam |me:gha sya:mam sumani makutam

pi:thavasthram subha:ngamdhya:ye:th de:vam dalitha

danujam su:thravathya: same:tham 

In both Vaikanasa Agama and Pancharatra Agama, Vishwaksenais accorded the first 
place in worship as the one who drives the negativeforces 

away before the commencement of an auspicious event.

Then who is the one whom we see in temple with a trunk andsimilar to Ganesha 
that we see in sivan temples?

Please note he isnot Vishwaksena. Vishwaksena is only in Human form and not in 
any other form orRoopam. Vishwaksenar has lot of assistants among them are 
Gajanan, Jayathsenan etc.It is Gajanan whom we see in temples & he has trunk 
and looks similar to Ganesha.His main work is to report to Vishwaksenar who and 
all have visited the templeon the day & hence we should always visit him 1st to 
inform we have come tothe temple.

the main concept that causes confusion is the title GanaAthipathi. Its 
viswaksEnar who is the Gana Athi apthi in vaishnavam. Hence pplassume Him as 
Ganapathi. Anyhow Paancharathraaagama indicates thar Shiva,durgi,ganapathi etc 
are dwelling in thepeetam belo the thiruvadi of perumal. hence they all(shiva & 
famly) are gr8vaishnavas who are in perumal's thiruvadi for ever. they shud 
also deserve therespect like any other srivaishnavan... (Vaishnava blog 
authentically made) 

 

Parthasarathy temple Vinayaka was installed outside so latewhich jistoru the 
purohit will explain. The term Thumbikai Azhwar is a termcoined by us as funny 
in Vaishnava temples if there is one likely other thanvishwak senar   So Mr. 
Gopalakrishnanneed not be carried away by Kerala legends and hearsay to defend 
his know-how.   K Rajaram IRS 17825

What is “y”? “My y postingtoday is about this temple near Kuruppunthara in the 
Kottayam District of theKerala state.

KR     Changeyourself and then you may change others 

Whencopying and pasting we must understand what is what.  WHAT IS PREPERUMAL 
ERA? WE ARE TALKING ABOUTKRISHNA. KRISHNA IS APERUMAL. PRE PERUMAL-IS CHERA 
DYNASTY PERUMAL 800 AD. 

 Vaishnavas do notworship Vigneswaran and if so how Vaishnava Ganapathi?  

Vaishnava Ganapati refers to Ganesha as worshipped byfollowers of Vaishnavism, 
where Ganesha is revered as the Remover of Obstacles,ensuring success in 
Vishnu's service and his avatars' missions, and oftenrepresented by a unique 
figure called Vishwaksena in some traditions, who serves asVishnu's gatekeeper 
and commander. While Ganesha is universally worshipped,Vaishnavas see him as a 
being blessed by Vishnu and crucial for their spiritualpath, sometimes 
replacing the traditional Ganesha idol with Vishwaksena at thestart of 
religious rituals. 

Role of Ganesha inVaishnavism

Remover of Obstacles for Vishnu's Devotees: Ganesha isrespected for his ability 
to remove obstacles, not just in general life, butspecifically for devotees of 
Vishnu and his avatars.

Blessed by Vishnu: Vaishnavas believe Ganesha is blessed by Vishnu and holdsa 
significant divine role within the Hindu pantheon.

Assisted Vishnu's Avatars: Stories exist where Ganeshaaided Vishnu's avatars, 
such as Rama and Krishna, in their divine tasks. 

Vishwaksena, theVaishnava Counterpart

Gatekeeper of Vishnu: In some conservative Sri Vaishnavatemples, particularly 
in Tamil Nadu, an idol of Vishwaksena replaces Ganesha at the entrance, as 
heserves as the supreme commander of Lord Vishnu's forces.

Functionally Similar: Vishwaksena fulfills a similar roleto Ganesha as the 
obstacle remover and initial deity to be invoked before otherrituals and 
services to Vishnu.

Separate Entities: While they share functions, Ganesha andVishwaksena are 
considered different individuals, with Ganesha being the son ofShiva and 
Parvati, and Vishwaksena being a manifestation or attendant ofVishnu. 

Worship Practices

Initial Worship: Many Vaishnavas, especially in NorthIndia, begin their prayers 
by worshipping Ganesha.

Temple Idols: Ganesha idols are commonly found at theentrance of many 
Vaishnavite temples.

Invocation: Vaishnavas may invoke either Ganesha orVishwaksena, depending on 
the tradition and region, before proceeding with anyreligious ceremonies.

              IF SO,GANAPATHY CANNOT BE AMAIN DEITY UNDER VAISHNAVISM 
PRINCIPLE; BUT KRISHNA ISSEATED ON THE LAP OG GANAPATHY AND MADE A MAIN DEITY. 
THAT IS THE INTENT OF THENAMBOODRI WHO WORSHIPPED GANAPAATHY AND READ 
BHAGAVATHAM. 

           -------------------

Narain research archelogy, summarizes the lack of evidenceabout Ganesha's 
history before the 5th century as follows:

“   What isinscrutable is the somewhat dramatic appearance of Gaṇeśa on the 
historicalscene. His antecedents are not clear. His wide acceptance and 
popularity, whichtranscend sectarian and territorial limits, are indeed 
amazing. On the onehand, there is the pious belief of the orthodox devotees in 
Gaṇeśa's Vedicorigins and in the Purāṇic explanations contained in the 
confusing, butnonetheless interesting, mythology. On the other hand, there are 
doubts aboutthe existence of the idea and the icon of this deity" before the 
fourth tofifth century A.D. ... [I]n my opinion, indeed there is no convincing 
evidence[in ancient Brahmanic literature] of the existence of this divinity 
prior tothe fifth century.

The evidence for more ancientGanesha, suggests Narain, may reside outside 
Brahmanic or Sanskritictraditions, or outside geocultural boundaries of India. 
Ganesha appears inChina by the 6th century, states Brown, and his artistic 
images in templesetting as "remover of obstacles" in South Asia appear by about 
400CE.   Hence Bheeja or otherwise Ganapathyis the base root of the temple who 
is holding the Smd Bhagavatham is thesymbol. 

"Ashta" means eight, and "Dravya"refers to substances or offerings. 

Purpose:

These eight ingredients are offered in the homam (sacredfire) to invoke Lord 
Ganesha's blessings. 

Typical ingredients:

While specific items may vary slightly by region ortradition, some common 
examples include:

Coconut 

Jaggery (molasses) 

Honey 

Sugarcane 

Rice flakes (puffed rice) 

Banana 

Sesame seeds 

Ghee (clarified butter) 

Benefits:

Performing the Ashta Dravya Ganapathi Homam is believed tobring various 
blessings, including: 

Removal of obstacles and hurdles 

Success in new ventures 

Protection from negative energies 

Fulfillment of desires 

Overall prosperity andwell-being

THEMALLIYOOR SREE MAHAGANAPATHY TEMPLE, KURUPPUNTHARA- KOTTAYAM DISTRICT, 
KERALA -COMPILED

Dear friends,

The Malliyoor Sree Maha Ganapathy Temple is in comparable inthe conception of 
the presiding deity as Vaishnava Ganapathy, with ayoung Sree Krishna seated on 
the lap of Lord Ganesha. This unique andpowerful infusion of the Vaishnava 
spirit in the Ganesha idol is the supremeachievement of the devoted penance of 
the much-revered main priest of thetemple, late Brahmasree Bhagavathahamsam 
Malliyoor Sankaran Namboothiri. 

Today thousands of devotees flock to the feet of VasihnavaGanapthy at Malliyoor 
seeking eternal salvation form the bonds of Karama andsolace from the evils of 
Kaliyuga.

My y posting today is about this temple near Kuruppunthara inthe  Kottayam 
District of  the Kerala state.

Hope a divine reading.

Gopalakrishnan 16-08-2025

INTRODUCTION

Malliyoor Maha Ganapati temple is situated near toKuruppanthara town, in 
Kottayam District of Kerala State, India. It belongs toSouth Kerala Division. 
The name of the Temple is synonymous with the name ofthe main priest, the 
sage-like, scholarly Sankaran Namboothiri. He hasdedicated his humble life to 
the worship of Lord Ganapathy and to the renderingand exposition of the 
Bhagavatham. Beeja Ganapathi became Vaishnava Ganapathi. 

The Malliyoor Sri Maha Ganapathi Temple is a magnificentshrine dedicated to 
Lord Ganesha. The temple's main attraction is its extraordinary idol of Lord 
Ganeshahaving Lord Krishna in his lap , which is distinct from traditional 
imagesfound in other temples. 

 

HISTORY

The history of the temple dates back to the pre- Perumal eraof Kerala. It is 
believed that a saint from Malliyoor after a pilgrimage to thenorthern regions 
brought the Ganapati idol and installed about 1500 years ago. Though the temple 
had wealth and resources in those days, however, dueto the onslaught of time 
and climatic conditions, it went into eclipse,unattended and uncared for and it 
remained as a silent testimony to its richcultural heritage.

 

It was late MalliyoorSankaran Namboothiri, who brought the much-needed 
reawakening to thetemple. Sankaran Namboothiri was an exponent of Srimad 
Bhagavatha puran and wascalled Bhagavathahamsam. He used to recite Srimad 
Bhagavatamevery day in the temple by keeping the Salagrama, the iconic symbol 
and reminder of the Lord Vishnu asParamatma. CONSEQANTLYVISHNU CHAITHANYA WAS 
EXPERIENCED IN THE TEMPLE. 

In fact, the continuous recitation of Shrimad Bhagavathamplacing the 
‘Salagaram’ in the sanctum sanctorum of Ganesha changed the Beeja Ganapathy 
into Vaishnava Ganapathy. The deity ofGanesha placing Little Krishna on his lap 
and listening the Mahapuran is thesymbol of the flow of knowledge from a high 
consciousness to the youngergenerations.

Today Malliyoor Maha Ganapati Temple is a major attractionto both Krishna and 
Ganesha devotees who arrive throughout the year insignificant numbers.

 

CHIEF DEITY

The Malliyoor Sree Maha Ganapathy Temple is in comparable inthe conception of 
the presiding deity as Vaishnava Ganapathy, with thechild Krishna seated on the 
lap of Lord Ganesha and hearing the Bhagavatham.

The most impressive part of this temple is the idol. The idol of Ganesha is 
differentfrom what we usually see in temples. On the left lap of Ganesha sits 
littleKrishna, which symbolizes the unity of two sects – Vaishnavas (believers 
ofLord Vishnu) and Saiva’s (believers of Lord Shiva). 

The chief deity is called Vaishnava Ganapathy. The temple isin comparable in 
the conception of the presiding deity as Vaishnava Ganapathy,with a young Sree 
Krishna seated on the lap of Lord Ganesha.

deities. We begin prayers, importantundertakings, and religious ceremonies with 
an invocation of Ganesha theMangala moorthi. He isParabrahma incarnate, the God 
of Wisdom and Learning, the Remover of allObstacles and is worshipped first, 
any other god.
