Kerala tantric rituals are widely known around the world for
its effectiveness. They are not mere religious rituals but it involves a lot of
science too. Driving out the negative energy and bringing in positive energy is
being done in each tantric ritual. The power of rhymes lies in the way they are
uttered. The energy generated with a high-level concentration of mind will be emitted
through sounds. The energy will get converted into sound energy of different
wavelengths and will produce the desired result.

| A scene from Kerala Tantric Ritual |
There was a person called Kalloor Namboodiri in Kerala who
was an expert in tantric rituals. Actually, Kalloor is his family name and
Namboodiri is his surname. Even now the members of the family continue the
rituals performed by this Kalloor Namboodiri.
Kalloor family is basically from Kottackal, but later got
settled in Pattambi in the present day Malappuram district of Kerala. The male population
of this family is known as Kalloor Namboodiri and this particular Namboodiri in
this story lived in the 17th century. He decided to visit
Vadakkumnatha Temple and to remain there for quite some time worshipping Lord
Shiva. He used to enter the temple as soon as it opened in the early morning and
sit there chanting different prayers of Lord Shiva and immersed in deep
meditation. He leaves the temple premises in the evening for having taking bath
and again he used to come back and sit in meditation till the temple is closed. He
lived on a single meal all these days. Years have passed like this and there
was no change in Namboodiri’s routine.
One day he sat in meditation and the temple priest did not
notice him. As usual, the priest locked the doors of the temple and left for the
day. Late in the night when Namboodiri woke up from the meditation, he found the
temple doors locked and no way to go outside. There was nothing much to do, so
he sat behind and started chanting prayers of Lord Shiva. Suddenly a book fell
in front of him. He took it in his hand. Suddenly he heard a voice from nowhere
which asked him to stop his worship and go back to his house. The voice also
instructed him to practice tantric rituals as mentioned in that book.

| Another scene from Kerala Tantric Ritual |
Believing those as the words of Lord Shiva, Namboodiri left
the temple the next day morning and reached his home. After being at the house for a
year, he left for a pilgrimage. On the way, he reached Thiruvananthapuram, the
present capital city of Kerala, and the capital of the erstwhile Travancore dynasty.
By this time he has become very famous as a tantric and hence he received a special
welcome by the then king. King arranged a room for him well inside the palace
and invited him to dinner together.
After dinner, both were sitting talking about different
things. Meanwhile, the king requested a favor from the tantric. He narrated the
incident.
His predecessor King Marhtanda Varma has killed Ettuveettil
Pillais, a group of warring lords who rebelled against the kingdom. Even after
killing, the King could not control his anger. He made all the women folk of
their families marry the fishermen, thus putting an end to their clan. When
there is nobody to perform after death rituals, the souls of these warring
lords could not rest in peace. They used to come to the city and started creating
a lot of trouble to the citizens. They come out from the sea where their bodies
were immersed after killing and used to wander on the streets till they reach
the east fort. They cannot enter the east fort as there is the Padmanabha Swamy
Temple. They are afraid of Lord Vishnu who has been worshipped inside the
temple.
King told Namboodiri that many tantric have tried their best
to remove these evil spirits but everything ends in vain. He requested
Namboodiri to try something to get rid of these spirits.
Tantric Namboodiri asked King to send a brave soldier to
him. By the time the soldier arrived, Namboodiri finished certain rituals. Then
he wakes up from the ritual site and came near to the soldier. Handing over a
letter written on palm leaves to the soldier, Namboodiri asked him to go to the
West Fort through which the spirits enter inside the city. The soldier is
instructed by the Namboodiri to throw the letter to those spirits when they
come near to the gate.
The soldier did the same as instructed by the Namboodiri and to
his great astonishment, he saw all the spirits weeping in pain as if somebody is
beating them. After a few seconds, all of them turn back and started running
towards the sea as if somebody is chasing them. They all disappeared inside the
sea.
The soldier returned and narrated the entire incident to the
King and Namboodiri. Then the Namboodiri assured that they will never come
again to trouble the king and his subjects. King was totally happy and
presented many valuable gifts to Namboodiri. And since then nobody has seen
those evil spirits on the roads.
