Story of birth of Kerala

As per the Hindu mythology, Kerala was created by Parasurama, by throwing his axe from GOKARN, near Karwar, Karnataka. The sea on the direction of the axe moved out and a strip of land was formed. Parasurama, assumed to be avatar of Vishnu was half Kshatriya and Half Bramin. There fore he was strong as well as yogi. (His ability to create a land from the sea cannot be questioned as it is said that when a person reach rajayoga stage he can do much more.)

Parasurama was doing it as repentance to his barbaric act of killing hundreds of Kshatriya as a revenge for killing his parents by king Kartyaveerarjuna.

In those days fight between Aryans and Dravidian were at its height. Parasurama wants to stop it once for all. Therefore he created a strip of land. He forcefully brought some of the Aryan family from Narmada basin and some Dravidian family from Tamilnadu. They are forced to live together as a community including marriage between both communities. (Onam as a matter of fact is remembrance of the King Mahabali who ruled Narmada basin. It was there Vamana pushed him down to Patal.) Parasurama then created diety called Sastha who is the son of both VISHNU & SHIVA around the Western Ghat section and BHAGAVATI along the coastal area. BHAGAVATHI is Saraswathi, Lekshmi & Kali in one. In the process both Aryans and Dravidians has to bow in front of SASTHA & BHAGAVATI.
