Importance of Kuttishaasthan At Kalakat Illam
As from the lyrics of "thottam paattu": Years long back, when there was no child births at kalakat Illam, and situation came like no more successors would be born, the eldest member (karnavar - Malayalam word for the eldest male member) of the Kalakat Illam, performed a homa or a yaga. Amidst the Yaga a child appeared, and later this child started showcasing supernatural powers. This child was from then known as "Kalakatu karinkutti shaasthan". Here in the Illam, Karin-kutti shaasthan is depicted as the vaishnava and the ucha-kutti shaasthan as the shaiva amsham. There are other stories related to the birth and forms of the kutti shaasthan. But the mentioned story is formally accepted.

Famous quotes containing the words importance of and/or importance:
“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
“There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. By carefully chronicling the current events of contemporary life, it shows us of what very little importance such events really are. By invariably discussing the unnecessary, it makes us understand what things are requisite for culture, and what are not.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
