13 Abodes of Rurujit Kali Kashmiri Tantra in Kerala by Amritesh A R

When we look into Kashmir there were big temples like Sharatha peeth , Marthanda Temple
which faced destruction. The people who followed this tradition are not to be found there but the culture still remains alive and all its beauty lies in the fact that it transferred from Kashmir to Kerala (distance is 2548 km) which is still practised in many of the temple. This paper is pure evidence to show that, the culture and traditions are still alive beyond time and regional boundaries. Through Kali, the Mother Goddess we can understand the true essence of a culture where nature is seen as our own mother and all the others as her children still exists. This yatra also possesses a spiritual knowledge while visiting these 13 kavu and also inquisites to know more about the culture from Kashmir to Kerala. I, personally visited all these 13 sacred groves in 4 days to imbibe a divine experience.
The main Significance of this Yatra helps us to understand the 13 Kali temples and its traditions in detail. In addition to the inexplicable spiritual experience, this pilgrimage will benefit the pilgrim towards a better understanding of the connection between mankind, nature and the divine. The journey will mark as a pointer in further studies about the influence of Kashmiri Tantra - Rurujit-Vidhana in Kerala. As we all know Nature is in an agitated condition; Concerns like climate change, pollution, are taking us to an alarming situation. It is indeed important to understand, appreciate and vitalize the traditions which protect Nature such as Kali Kavu which are closely aligned with the conservation and preservation of Nature through devotion.
