Shri Bhadrakali

सर्वज्ञा सर्वलोकेशी देवयोनिरयोनिजा || निर्गुणा निरहङ्कारा लोककल्याणकारिणी || कलौ काली महाविद्या कलौ काली च वरप्रदा |

Bhadrakali signifies auspiciousness and embodies the philosophy of time, representing the eternal force that bestows blessings upon devotees across ages. Shri Bhagavati Bhadrakali Devi, regarded as the mother of all beings, is the ultimate giver of auspiciousness. Bhadrakali Upasana holds a prominent place in Kerala and in the Shri Vidya Upasana tradition, with numerous Bhadrakali temples, among which the Chottanikkara Kshetra is particularly renowned. Centuries ago, Shri Vilva Mangalam Swamigal installed Shri Bhadrakali Devi in Keezhkavu, and the Goddess is said to have blessed Semma Nadu Namboothiri with knowledge of Tantra Vidyas through a divine dream. Similarly, in the year Swastishri Manmatha (2015).

Shri Bhadrakali Devi appeared in a dream to Shri Swami and imparted the teachings of Tantra Vidya. Following this divine vision, a Panchaloha idol of the Goddess was crafted by a skilled sculptor and consecrated under the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra in the month of Pushya. Poojas are conducted as per Tantric practices, with special abhishekams and adornments performed by Shri Swami on new moon days, honoring the Goddess with devotion and reverence.
