Chattampi Swami has also many grihastha disciples like Bodheswaran, Perunnelli Krishnan Vaidhyan, Velutheri Kesavan Vaidhyan Kumbalath Sanku Pillai etc. as well as sanyasi disciples like Neelakanta Therthapada and Theerthapada Paramahamsa who played the very important role in renaissance and reformation in Kerala.

Grihastha literally means “being in and occupied with home, family” or “householder”. It refers to the second phase of an individual’s life in four age-based stages of the Hindu ashram system. It follows the Brahmacharya life stage, and embodies a married life, with the duties of maintaining a home, raising a family, educating one’s children, and leading a family-centred and a dharmic social life.

This stage of Ashrama is conceptually followed by Vanaprastha and Sannyasa . Combined with other three life stages, Hindu philosophy considers these stages as a facet of Dharma concept, something essential to completing the full development of a human being and fulfilling all the needs of the individual and society.
