There was a ruler,who ruled cruely and done a lot of injustice.A boy ,belongs to tribal society,made a derision against  this ruler .The ruler became angry.He gave an order to bring all tribals to a paddy field. After that, the garrison of the ruler killed all these tribal.

Fortieth day of this cruelty, the tribals ,who are murdered ,raised as evil spirits. They troubled the people in that area. All the farms destroyed and normal life hindered. The ruler defeated in a battle and he committed to suicide.

Kesunny Vaidyar was a magician and chief physician of ettumana palace.He was the secret force and success of ettumana king.Kesunny Vaidyar understood the reason behind all these calamities. He knew that only remedy is Bhagavan Chathan Swami. But he was too old to perform severe penance and prayer to please Chathan Swami. He asked his son Kovindan to go for a pilgrimage to kailasa. He went there and through his extreme Tapas, esceticism , pleased  the power of excellence ,Bhagavan Sri Chathan Swami.

Years passed.One day, a middle aged person,with a saintly look, walked through the paddy fields of ettumana. The evil spirits followed the saint.They thought,they could suck his blood. But,the saint trapped and defeated all evil spirits by his super natural force. It was Kovinda Muthappan, who brought  Bhagavan Chathan Swami and established Karanayil Madom.

People from different parts of world are coming here for Jathakadosham, mental disorders, failure in business, profession, and other problems related to their day to day life for getting relief for their disasters. 

Kovinda Muthappan is the adhiguru , ascetic and guide of this Madom.For his memory, there established a place called Kukshikalpa.Many Poojas are conducting for his honour.

Sri. K.V. Padmanaban Swami is the chief ruler of Karanayil Madom now.  He hails from the ancient family line of Kovindamuthappa. The Swamiji is well known for his qualities of devotion,dedication and sincerity.
