As a thantri, he guided the conducts of several consecration ceremonies throughout India. He also supervised the renovation and construction of several temples. He was greatly consulted and his advice sought in matters relating to temples, by various courts of law.

Not only was Shri Namboothiripad a great practitioner of the ancient traditions of Thantra, Vaastu and Sanskrit but also taught the Thantrasaastra, Thachusaastra (Traditional Architecture) and Sanskrit to several disciples.

He authored several works such as the Ashwalayana Chandrika deals with the sixteen samskaras of Brahmans and a Kavyam titled Sudama Charitam, which was not yet completed. He also presented papers on Vaastu and Thantra at various seminars.

We take pride in the fact that such a great man was the Chief Architect of Sree Dharmasaasthra Temple, Pushpvihar and this was his last and dream project.

We remember and pay our respects to his blessed life.

MAY LORD SREE DHARMASAASTHA BLESS US ALL!!
