Kula deivam

Kanchi Maha Periyava is a great Mahan known for rendering practical pieces of advice that can be followed by even a common man. Kanchi Mahan was observing Chathurmasya vrata and was visiting many places. He said that he felt like committing suicide as he faced lots of sufferings in life. The man did not even know who his Kuladeivam was as one of his ancestors broke from the path of worshipping Kuladeivam and his descendants followed him including himself.

So, he did not know anything about his Kuladeivam. Periyava said that staying away from worshipping Kuladeivam is like keeping a vessel with a hole. Nothing will stay on the vessel with a hole. Likewise, no good thing will dawn on the person who does not worship his Kuladeivam. He also raised a question -why Periyava was so particular about the Kuladeivam when there are various other deities to worship in different temples?

The Mahan did not answer his query. He just asked the man whether any of his ancestors was still surviving. Periyava asked him to contact the old man and gather details about his Kuladeivam.
