India’s cultural heritage is something we all should cherish, and preserving it is a shared responsibility. I’m happy that Shri Guruvayoorappan Dharmakala Samuchayam Trust is working to revive and promote Ashtapathy Attam, inspired by the Gita Govindam of Sri Jayadeva.
This wonderful initiative will help younger generations connect with, appreciate, and carry forward our rich traditions. With the blessings of Lord Guruvayoorappan, I wish the Trust continued success.

The Trust's initiative to revive this unique art form, inspired by the immortal Gita Govindam, is a commendable contribution towards preserving our rich cultural and spiritual heritage. Choosing Guruvayoor, the sacred abode of Lord Guruvayoorappan, as the centre for its promotion is both appropriate and visionary.
