The Malankara Association held at Pazhaya Seminary, Kottayam on 24 December 1934, elected Catholicos Geevarghese II as Malankara Metropolitan by combining offices of Catholicos and Malankara Metropolitan. From this time, the spiritual and temporal powers over the Church came to be concentrated in one person.[7][8] Following the peace pact between Malankara Orthodox and Malankara Jacobite churches in 1958, he led the reunified Malankara Church from 1958. Geevarghese II died on 3 January 1964 and entombed at Catholicate Aramana Chapel, Devalokam, Kottayam.
