Pisharadi played a vital role in bringing up his
student Sri Bhattathiri in a good manner, and
asked him to worship Lord Guruvayurappan at
Guruvayur, in order to gain more knowledge and
discipline. Bhattathiri obeyed the orders of his
guru, and went to Guruvayur and written the great
divine text Narayaneeyam with the guidance of his
guru Sri Pisharadi. After the completion of
Narayaneeyam, Bhattathiri had got relieved from
his diseases, and become a strong man.
Pisharadi was a noble scholar and contains great
bhakti on Lord Krishna. He taught the essence of
Hindu sacred texts to many students, and they
have become great scholars and ardent devotees
of Lord Krishna. The day on which Bhattathiri
dedicated his sacred work Narayaneeyam to Sri
Guruvayurappan is celebrated as
"Narayaneeyam Day" every year at Guruvayur in a
grand manner.
Let us worship Sri Pisharadi and be blessed.
