PILICODE....THE PEACE OF LAND.....THE ART OF LAND
==================================================================================

പുലികളും, പശുക്കളും ഇവിടെ മിത്രങ്ങളായി വസിച്ചിരുന്നു. ഇന്ന് ഇവിടെ പുലികളില്ല. ശാന്തതയുടെ പ്രതീകമായ പശുക്കള്‍ മാത്രം. വിവിധ മതക്കാര്‍ എന്റെ ഗ്രാമത്തിലുണ്ട്. അവര്‍ വൈരികളല്ല. ഇതുവരെ എന്റെ ഗ്രാമത്തില്‍ മതത്തിന്റെ പേരില്‍ ചോര ചീന്തിയിട്ടില്ല. ചീന്തുകയുമില്ല. മതസാഹോദര്യത്തിന്റെ ഉത്തമ ദൃഷ്ടാന്തമാണ് എന്റെ ഗ്രാമം.
പുഴയും കുന്നും വയലുകളും കാവുകളുമൊക്കെ എന്റെ ഗ്രാമത്തിലുണ്ട്. പക്ഷേ, കാലം പുരോഗതിയുടെ പടവുകള്‍ ചവിച്ചിക്കയറുമ്പോള്‍ ഇവയുടെ ആയുസ്സ് കുറയുന്നു. കുറച്ചുകൂടി കഴിഞ്ഞാല്‍ എല്ലാം ഓര്‍മ്മകള്‍ മാത്രം.

പിലിക്കോട് ഗ്രാമത്തിലെ സ്ഥലനാമങ്ങള്‍ വന്ന വഴി രസകരമാണ്. മല്ലന്‍മാരുടെ കരയാണ് മല്ലക്കരയായത്. കാലികള്‍ വെള്ളംകുടിക്കുവാന്‍ ഉപയോഗിച്ച കടവാണ് കാലിക്കടവായത്. പടക്കളം പടുവളമായി. കടുവകളുടെ കാട് കടുവക്കാടായി. ഏര്‍പ്പുപുഴയാണ് ഏര്‍പ്പുഴയായത്...............ഇങ്ങനെ നീളുന്നു ഇവിടുത്തെ സ്ഥലനാമങ്ങള്‍.
പിലിക്കോട് ശ്രീ രയരമംഗലം ഭഗവതി ക്ഷേത്രം, ചന്തേര ജുമാമസ്ജിദ്, മട്ടലായി സെന്റ് മേരിസ് ചര്‍ച്ച്, വെള്ളച്ചാല്‍ ജുമാ മസ്ജിദ്, ഏച്ചിക്കുളങ്ങര ശ്രീ നാരായണപുരം ക്ഷേത്രം................വിവിധ മതക്കാരുടെ ആരാധനാലയങ്ങളുടെ പട്ടിക നീളുകയാണ്. ഇവിടുത്തെ ആഘോഷങ്ങള്‍ ഏവരുടേയും കൂട്ടായ്മയില്‍ കെങ്കേമമാകുന്നു.

ഒട്ടേറെ പ്രശസ്ത വ്യക്തികള്‍ക്ക് പിലിക്കോട് ഗ്രാമം ജന്മം കൊടുത്തിരുന്നു. ശില്‍പി കാനായി കുഞ്ഞിരാമന്‍, പൂരക്കളി കലാകാരന്‍ പി.പി. മാധവന്‍ പണിക്കര്‍, നിരൂപകന്‍ ഇ.പി. രാജഗോപാലന്‍, തെയ്യം കലയുടെ കുലപതികളായ നര്‍ത്തക രത്‌നം കണ്ണന്‍ പെരുവണ്ണാന്‍ കര്‍ണ്ണമൂര്‍ത്തി, ടി.എസ്, തിരുമുമ്പ്...പട്ടിക നീളുകയാണ്.

പിലിക്കോട്ടെ ഉയരം കൂടിയ കുന്നാണ് വീത് കുന്ന്. ഇതുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ടതാണ് ഈ ഗ്രാമത്തിന് മാത്രം സ്വന്തമായ കാവല്‍ക്കാര്‍. കാര്‍ഷിക വിളകളുടെ സംരക്ഷകരാണ് ഇവര്‍. കോസല രാജാവിന്റെ കാലത്ത് നിയോഗിക്കപ്പെട്ടവരാണ് ഇവര്‍. ആറുപേരാണ് കാവല്‍ക്കാര്‍....ഒട്ടേറെ പ്രത്യേകതകള്‍ ഉള്ളതാണ് എന്റെ നാട്.

മാറ്റങ്ങള്‍ ഉണ്ടെങ്കിലും എന്റെ ഗ്രാമത്തിന് ഗ്രാമസൗന്ദര്യം നഷ്ടമായിട്ടില്ല. കാത്തുസൂക്ഷിക്കേണ്ടത് ഓരോ ഗ്രാമീണന്റെയും കടമ കൂടിയാണല്ലോ......

story of Muchlottu Bagavathi : THEYYAM[MUCHILOTTU BHAGAVATHY]
. A maid hailing from blessed Brahmin family of Maniyottu Mana at Perinchellur near Taliparamba was versatile in logic, philosophy and science of reasoning through ‘Gurukula system’. When arrangements for her marriage were getting ready she was stubborn to choose an equally knowledgeable person as her partner. This lead to a debate in which she was asked to answer to the question from the scholars. She replied that sexual pleasure is the most pleasant thing and pain during delivery is
the most severe pain in the world. On hearing this, the audience stunned and even questions raised about the morality of that Brahmin girl. She was expelled from her illam (home) and society by saying one couldn’t give correct answers to these questions without experiencing those.

The hapless maid expressed her grief before Payyanur Perumal. She moved to theTemple of Siva at Karivellur for praying. It was the period when ‘Padithara Adiyanthiram’ and ‘Koothu’ were being held in temple. She noticed the hearth prepared for cooking meals for Brahmins who came for the feast. She decided to end her life in that fireplace. Realizing the fire was not sufficient for burning her, she requested a ‘Theeya’ individual who happened to pass through that place to offer some dried coconut to the hearth. But he refused and went back. Later a ‘Muchilottu Vaniyan’ who came that way with coconut oil. The Brahmin girl made the same request to him also. Knowing the consequences the vaniyan cautioned her and requested to withdraw her decision. But she was firm in her decision and he helped her by pouring oil in it.

The Brahmin girl on committing suicide had reached in front of Lord Siva. He with great love and affection sent her back to earth to look after human kind. With the blessings of Lord Siva she got the divinity and she reached Perinchaloor and prayed to ‘Thalipparambathappan’. Devi then walked towards sree pilicode Rayaramangalam. Mean while the Vaniyan who poured oil in the fireplace kept the oil pot in the pooja of his house. Devi decided to drink some water and spend some time in the house of ‘Muchilodan Padanayar’. The vaniya lady who was drawing water found the holy figure in the well. Next day the padanayar saw the palm tree infront of his house dried. It is believed that the Devi made her presence visible to the Muchilodan Padanayar when he decided to cut the tree. This is how the Muchilottu Bhaghavathy associated with the Vaniya community. Muchilottu Vaniyan and others in his community started worshipping the goddess as their family deity. Thus the goddess came to be known as ‘Muchilottu Bhagavathi’. Devi requested Rayaramangalam Devi for a place for her. Pilicode Rayaramangalam Devi before taking a decision wanted to estimate the capabilities of Muchilottu Bhghavathy and asked her to find a solution for the scarcity of food at that region. She with her divine blessing from Lord Siva produced the best ever harvest and made Rayramangalam Devi happy. (this article taken from korom muchilottu bagavathi temple website)
