The Complete Guide to Vishnumaya Pooja: Everything You Need to Know

Welcome to the definitive guide on Vishnumaya Pooja, one of the most powerful and revered tantric traditions practiced in Kerala. If you are reading this, you are likely searching for profound spiritual intervention to solve enduring problems in your life—whether they are financial, familial, or related to unseen negative forces.
At Sree Kali Chathan Madappura, we have dedicated generations to the pure worship of Lord Vishnumaya. Let’s explore what makes this pooja so uniquely powerful.
Who is Lord Vishnumaya?
Before understanding the pooja, you must understand the deity. Lord Vishnumaya (often lovingly referred to as Kuttichathan) is an extraordinarily powerful divine entity born from the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathy (in the guise of Kulivaka).
Unlike many deities who require lifelong asceticism to reach, Lord Vishnumaya is known for his accessibility and speed. He is the ultimate protector of his devotees, moving with the speed of wind to deliver justice, remove obstacles, and utterly destroy dark magic sent their way.
Why Perform a Vishnumaya Pooja?
Devotees approach our temple for Vishnumaya poojas when all other doors seem closed. The most common reasons include:
- Unexplained Failures: When hard work consistently leads to sudden, inexplicable downfalls in business or career.
- Generational Curses (Doshas): Recurring illnesses or tragedies that seem to plague a family generation after generation.
- Severe Enemy Hindrance: When jealousy from others manifests as active sabotage or “Drishti” (Evil Eye).
- Desire for Prosperity: Many business owners perform annual Vishnumaya poojas to ensure a continuous flow of wealth and the removal of blockages.
The Core Rituals
The worship of Lord Vishnumaya is not a simple prayer. It is a highly specialized Tantric discipline. At our Madappura, rituals include:
1. Roopakkalam
One of the most visually stunning and spiritually intense rituals. The Chief Priest draws the magnificent, fierce form of Lord Vishnumaya on the floor using five natural colored powders (Panchavarnam). Accompanied by rhythmic drum beats (Chenda) and chanting, the deity is invoked into the Kalam. This ritual is specifically used to exorcise intense negative energy from a person or family.
2. Guruthi Pooja
A powerful offering meant to appease the fierce aspects of the deity and his accompanying Boothaganas (divine soldiers). This is often the final seal in a Satru Samhara (enemy destruction) ritual, guaranteeing protection.
3. Vellattu Karma
A highly specialized oracle-esque ritual where the divine energy is invoked into the priest, allowing devotees to receive direct answers and blessings from the deity regarding their problems.
Can I Do This From Home?
While the ultimate experience is visiting the Vishnumaya temple in Thrissur in person, we understand that devotees span across the globe. The divine energy of Kuttichathan knows no distance.
If you are facing severe distress, you can contact the Madappura to have our Chief Priest perform these rituals on your behalf. The offerings will be made in your name (using your Star/Nakshatra), and the protective blessings will reach you wherever you are.
Trust in Lord Vishnumaya. Surrender your deepest fears at his feet, and watch the unbelievable transformation in your life.
