Example 1:
Egyptian: Our ancestors used the blue lotus as an entheogen
Peruvian: Our shamans still commune with the Gods with Ayahuasca...
Keralite/South Indian: You can kiss my ass, you li'l bitches! We've got Yesudas! On mp3!
Example 2:
(An unsuspecting guy/gal enters my room, to hear Yesudas's 'Parayoo nin ganathil' playing)
Guy/gal (falling on the floor, eyes rolled up): This is Neo. I hear You, God! Fuck Dawkins in the ear!
Me: Om Shanti!

Home state of Yesudas, the Voice of God.
Also a tropical paradise that was the historic center of the global spice trade, home of the ancient Indian science of medicine called Ayurveda, birthplace of the martial art called Kalari, all of which make it a popular destination for tourists from around the world.
Today it's the state ranking the highest in terms of the Human Development Index in India, where everybody is educated and well aware of things happening around the world, thanks to a significant proportion of Kerala's population expatriating to other countries as skilled professionals - this leads to Kerala being the a great object of envy and bad mouthing on the part of many other parts of India, especially the underdeveloped areas of North India where religiously bigoted political parties hold power.
The people of the state and others friendly to them just shrug off such venom and chill to cool movies made in Kerala, which also happens to be home to a small, but world class film industry that consistently produces works that regularly win prizes at premier international film festivals, which are a world apart from the banal crap produced in the North India-centric "Bollywood".
Kerala is called "God's Own Country" because among other things, the Voice of God, Yesudas (also known as the "Celestial Singer" was born there, even though he now lives in Texas most of the time.

The Voice of God.
Gifted from the Divine Dimensions to material existence on 10 January 1940 through the womb of Alicekutty, the wife of theater actor and musician Kattassery Augustine Joseph, in Fort Kochi (in present-day Kerala , India).
It is said that meditating to Yesudas's voice (particularly on recordings from the late 1970's to the late 1980's) with detached mindfulness can lead one to Enlightenment and liberation from the Wheel of Samsara.
Example 1:
Monk: I am God.
Random Dude: Nah, you don't look like Yesudas to me...
Example 2:
Curious Tourist: Hey, why is Kerala called God's Own Country?
Host/Tour Guide: Easy. Coz Yesudas is from Kerala.
CT: Who's Yesudas?
H/TG: Entheogen in human form. We've got him on mp3. (Waves a CD with the track 'Parayoo nin ganathil') Want some?
CT: Sure, let's trip together tonight! BTW, got somethin' groovy to dance to?
H/TG: Absolutely! (Takes out the Yesudas's New Age album 'Ahimsa') Check out the track 'Sari Sari' on this one. It was produced when he was living in Florida. It's da beats shit!
CT: Awesome! I love ya!
H/TG: Yesudas IS Love, Baby!
(A spark suddenly passes between their eyes. They jump on each other and merge mouths. A Brilliant Ball of Light appears in the sky above and magically carry the entwined couple into the Celestial Plane of Yesudas.)
