Talking to The Hindu en route to Mookambika, Yesudas said his mission was to continue singing in praise of `Guruvayurappan.'

While expressing his heartfelt gratitude to the efforts of Mr. Sudhakaran, Yesudas feels the Government need not frame legislation exclusively for him. "I and my family are thankful to the Minister. But a situation should evolve on its own when temple doors will open for all those who have boundless devotion for the Lord.

The developments also reminded Yesudas of the last birthday of his guru, Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar, and the concert the duo gave before the Parthasarathy temple in Guruvayur. "During Ekadesi, my guru used to visit Guruvayur, offer pujas and render a concert as an offering. Since I was forced to keep off the confines of the temple, he too decided to stay out and we sang together before the Parthasarathy temple.
Jesudas remains faithful to Guru's words to this day and talks about it wherever possible. The Divine Grace of Guruvayurappan can be felt in no small measure here, too, he had said. Though I had said that my guru himself was the embodiment of the Lord, I was really pained, and that sorrow haunts me even now. But for me, my guru could have sung at the temple," Yesudas reminisced.
