Who we are

Heritage, Healing, Empowerment Kalari

After the golden era of kalaripayattu came the British rule in India. Under the British rule they made sure everything possible was done to prevent people from practicing the art, as they considered kalari warriors as the biggest threat to their supremacy. It was Sri Kottakkal Kanaran gurukkal who is known as the Dronacharya of Kalaripayattu and his favorite disciple Veerasree C.V. Narayanan Nair Gurukkal. Veerasree C.V. Narayanan Nair Gurukkal was assisted in his endeavors to bring back the art of kalaripayattu by his disciple Sri Pathriyil Gopalan Gurukkal
It was at the age of 7 that Sri Malabar Vasudevan Gurukkal joined kalari with Sri Pathriyil Gopalan Gurukkal as his mentor. After practicing for 14 years under Sri Pathriyil Gopalan gurukkal, Sri Malabar Vasudevan Gurukkal established Kalari’s at Kodiyeri and also at Thiruvithamkoor in the year 1951. Around that time he also became the disciple of Sri Kovilakath Kuttan pillai who was then one of the prominent figures in the field of Ayurveda. Later he combined his knowledge of Ayurveda and also his understanding of Hatha Yoga which he gained from Sri Kumarakom Bodhananda Swami to great effect in finding effective treatment for many issues.
