§. Late A Vasudevan, otherwise known as Atiyolil Vasudevan was an unique Judge who once brought a saint to his Judge's chamber when the court was in session. The saint was sitting next to him while he was hearing arguments from lawyers. He was simply fearless and devoted to God and honesty that only his faith in God and competence as a Judge made him in-dismissible from the judiciary. His judgments reads like Shakespearean literature with so much eloquence and proficiency in English as he took his Masters in English under the British rule in India. The world might have seen a lot of great men with so much of publicity but Atiyolil Vasudevan was an unique great man of extra ordinary intelligence and wisdom who never got any publicity as he was not too keen on fame or fortune. He was the President of a spiritual club to unite all religions to believe that there is only one God for all. He passed away on April 22, 1999 at the age of 77.

As a District and Sessions judge, he ceased to believe at one point that that capital punishment or death penalty was not suitable to murders. He believed that life long jail sentence with hard labor is more appropriate for murders as it is worse than death penalty. He was so honest in his profession that he always prayed to God before going to court not to punish one innocent person by mistake. His view of life long prison sentence with hard labor gives a justification for discouraging people who murder others as they have no value for life including themselves. Besides, it gives a chance for a human for wrongful convictions.

He had multitude of skills. He used to fix radios, his car by modifying the carburetor for better fuel consumption and even visualized in 1975 that Electronic Fuel Injection could save fuel in cars. He was very much interested in getting more fuel efficiency for his car as that is the only choice he had to go to court and come back using his car as he never accepted and bribes or favors. He as an excellent chess player as well.

He was a philosopher who said that God is almighty and all powerful but with respect to the Universe God is inactive. He believes that people could attain powers by meditations. He considers deities of Hindu religion as aspects of God such as diffrent forms of energy.

He has three sons. The eldest is A. Venugopalan who solved an unsolved problem in Mathematics and now a business owner in the USA. The second son is A.Sudhi Vasudevan a susccesful lawyer in the Kerala High Court. The third son is an IT manager in a reputable company in Dubai.

Miracles
When he was a Sub-judge in Ettumanoor, Kottayam District in Kerala State, he had so much of devotion for Lord Krishna. One day upon returning from court he bought a bar or butter to give it as an offering to Krishna after prayers. He placed the butter in front of Krishna's idol in a small plate covered and left it there overnight. The next morning after prayer, he took the butter and opened the cover. To his surprise and all of his family there was a conch shell formed in the butter with great details. It looked like it was engraved with laser on marble. He called a photographer to take picture as he could not afford to have a camera then. After taking pictures, he dearly wanted to keep this miracle but he did not have a refrigerator in his home to keep the butter frozen. He kept the butter thinking that he could keep up as long as the butter melts away in the daytime heat of Indian climate. Another miracle happened. The butter never melted. Even today, it is in kept unmelted in his homestead, namely, Sree Vidya.
