Vanajakshi Mandiram

Historical place

It was the old guest house( satham) attached to Sivgiri Mutt long before the commencement of Sivagiri guest house. Our father of nation, Mahatma Gandhiji while visited Sri Narayana guru and Sivagiri Asramam, their discussions were done in this Vanajakhi Mandiram. The scholers who reached at Varkala used to stay in Vanajakhi Mandiram.The Communist leader Shri A K Gopalan had stayed several months for his naturopathic treatment. For some years it was the printing and publishing unit of Sivagiri Mutt.

A historical spot that is going unnoticed.
