Tantra Vidyā Pīṭham
Established in 1972 in Thirunavaya by P. Madhavji, a leader of the social and spiritual renaissance, with the aim of reviving and preserving the Tantric tradition of Kerala. The institution was founded with the support of renowned Tantra teachers and the blessings of His Holiness Swami Jayendra Saraswathi, the 69th Pontiff of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham. Initially, the school operated from Thirunavaya before moving to Chowannoor Sabha Madham and eventually relocating to Aluva, where it is currently situated. Under the guidance of P. Madhavji and Brahmashri Kalpuzha Divakaran Namboodiripad, a comprehensive seven-year curriculum was designed, which remains the foundation of the school’s academic offerings. The institution also houses a library located on the banks of the Periyar River, which holds a valuable collection of modern publications and palm leaf manuscripts. The palm leaf collection contains the manuscripts belonging to the Thanthra Vidya Peedhom. It comprises also the manuscripts from the renowned family of Mīmāṃsā scholars, Payyūr Bhaṭṭas from Porkulam.
