The Vedic academy of Aashan Sajjan Gurukkal is situated in the mountainous western ghats of Kerala, the ever green State of India, surrounded by tea cardomom and coffee plantations. Madurai and Cochin International Airports are only 100 Kms East and West of the Centre. The centre is surrounded by pure evergreen tropical forest and echo clean rivers and dam water. Thekkady wild life sanctuary, Periyar Tiger Reserve Forest, Sabarimala Mountain Pilgrimage centre, Mudurai Meenakshi Temple are near. The wild forest areas begin within only 3-4 hours walking distance.
There is a Gurukula Ashram system in the center, where the Indian students live like one family. The Kalari Temple (place for practicing the Vedic martial art), halls for practicing Yoga and meditations, as well as the students’ lodge, with single and double rooms, are a part of the territory. Besides that, on the top of the Panchalimala mountain there is a Shivalingam and a Shiva Temple.
Kalarippayatt is the ancient martial art of India, it is said to be the mother of all martial arts and dates back some thousands of years.Bhishma Parva in Mahabharatha explains"This knowledge was created by Lord Brahmma in the first yuga as DANDDHA NEETHI, later it was corrected by Lord shiva in each yuga as Kousheeka neethi and Dhanurvidya,and was passed over to Lord Parashurama.And Lord Parashurama have created Keralam from the ocean and taught the Royal war clans this knowledge and it was named as "kalari". Could it be true that the Buddhist monk, Bodhidarma studied this art and imparted these skills
throughout South East Asia, then into China at the Soong Shan monastery? From further study, it is now clear that many traveling monks, merchants, and especially Ksatriyas (warrior class), were also responsible for imparting such knowledge, from its martial techniques in injury, medicine, and pressure point (marman) striking skills. One can easily see similarities between the arts such as silat, Chuan Fa (Gung Fu), not just in its techniques, but also in its training methods. Traditional masters of Kalari attribute Parasurama who is an incarnation of the supreme Lord, and the creator of the land of Kerela, instituted 108 Kalaries all over the land. This legend on the origin of the institutions propagated by Keralolpathi, still lingers in the minds of the people. Some masters believe that the Kalari system originated out of the wrath of the lord Shiva while in his fury, to destroy Dakshayaga. Parasurama is surposed to have studied this art from him and and have handed it over to his 21 disciples in Kerela. The divisions in kalaripayat styles are just human made.
KALARIPAYAT IS AN ART OF RESSURRECTING FROM SPIRITUAL DEATH.
