Panmana Ashram located at a distance of 18 kilometres from the north of Kollam city is better known as the Mahasamadhi Peedom of Sree Chattampy Swamikal. The ashram is quite famous among tourists for the peace and tranquillity it offers. The ashram located among paddy fields and coconut palms depicts the simplicity and modesty of its ideologies and principles.
Sree Chattampy Swamikal was a great scholar and mystic, who believed in a humble lifestyle and practised Ahimsa or non-violence, Satya or truthfulness, Asteya or non-stealing, Brahmacharya or celibacy etc. These ideologies and simple lifestyles have influenced thousands of people. Thus, Sri Kumbalathu Sanku Pillai, an ardent follower of Swamikal and a freedom fighter has established Panmana ashram to propagate the principles of this divine personality.
