It is also known as Kardama which is also has Kardama as a son
Kardamas (Greek: Καρδαμάς) is a community located on a road between Douneika and Amaliada in the municipality of Amaliada and the prefecture of Ilia.
The station name is Radio Kardama [1], [2].
Chapter Twenty-four (8688 words)
Kardama Muni instructed his wife, Devahuti, that the Lord would appear as her son and disseminate spiritual knowledge to cut the knot of material identification.
Kardama did that also; he begot nine good daughters and one son, Kapila Muni, and thus his householder duty was also performed nicely, and now his duty was to leave.
Kardama Muni states here the main purpose of his leaving home: while traveling all over the world as a mendicant, he would always remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead within his heart and thereby be freed from all the anxieties of material existence.
