Payyanur is one of the ancient civilized places in Kerala. This northern town of Kerala claims a rich and glorious heritage. The archeological remaining excavated from Payyanur and nearby places proves the existence of a civilized city in this area centuries ago. The earliest mention of this town is in the Brahmanda Purana, when Muni Garga talks about the town to the Pandavas during their exile.

The famous travelers, who visited here, have described about this area in high words. The famous traveler Ibn Bathutha visited Ezhimala in AD 1342 and wrote about the big seaport and the Chinese ships anchored here. 1n AD 1273 Abul Fida and in AD 1293 the world famous traveler Marco Polo, and in 15th century the Italian traveler Nicholo Kondi also visited this place and had given a very good impression about Ezhimala port which was called by the name “Heli”.

Centuries back Payyanur was a part of the Ezhimala Rajya. King Nandan who ruled this Ezhimala Rajya was very famous and mighty. The books written during Sang Time describe about this country and this king with much importance.

~ TALK TO TREES ~

Talk to the trees, for they are wise.

Be still and listen, open your eyes.

See the beauty that lies within,

That flies silently, with the wind.

Talk to the trees, for they will hear.

They've been listening for many a year.

They bring you vision; pure insight,

And bring you dreams for the night.

Talk to the trees, for you will see,

What its like to be free.

No guilt, no lies, no compromise,

For simplicity, is truly wise!

~ ROAD TO LOVE ~

>>~~< ROAD TO LOVE >~~<<

Love is not always
The easy way.
This is something
They don't tell you
In the movies.
Love sometimes
Is the winding road.
This is something
You do not read about
In fairy tales.
 

There are moments
When your hearts will
Seem to travel
As two ships passing
In the night.
There are moments
When you might ask ~
"Who is this stranger in my bed?"
Don't look away from love.
Look deeply at love,
Look longingly at love,
And it will ignite again...
