Sri Venugopalaswamy Ashram, Palakkad

Roots, Antiquity, Culture and Tradition

Sri Venugopalaswamy Ashram was constructed in 2011, following the discovery by Swamini Pramananda in 1996, that the village known as Coolimuttam Agraham was her ancestral home.

The temple conducts nitya pujas and special pujas such as Gopuja, Homam, Bhagavatiseva and Satyanarayana puja upon request. The Ashram serves as the Annakshetra and residence for the devotees of Lord Venugopalaswamy during the temple festivals. Religious and social functions such as Upanayana, Aksharabhyasa and Namasankirtan are performed routinely at the Ashram.

Sri Venugopalaswamy Temple

In 1993, the Sri Venugopalaswamy Temple Nitya Pūjā Committee was formed to sustain the temple, with prayers that good times would soon return. The turning point for the village came in 1996. A devaprasnam had revealed the coming of unknown noble souls within the year, after which the village would become a prosperous, peaceful and harmonious place once again. In October 1996, Swami Siddhabodhananda and Ammaji came to the village in search of her ancestral home.


As if divinity had guided her to the temple, Ammaji had been given a gift of Sri Venugopalaswamy’s idol prior to her visit, confirming the thought that her ancestors had, indeed, belonged to the agraharam. With the blessing of her guru, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, and the support of Sri. Balaraman and the other villagers, Ammaji took on the monumental task of renovation and consecration of the temple. After the success of a 1998 Kumbhabhisekham, the villagers knew that their prayers had been answered and life in their village had, indeed, become more prosperous, peaceful and harmonious.
