Historic Adya Maha Kali Vigraham installation in Kashi by Kaliputra Mission marks a powerful spiritual milestone led by Guru Praveen Radhakrishnan.
Adya Maha Kali
Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh - In the ancient cradle of Hindu devotion, where the ghats breathe prayers and the air hums with the echoes of chants, a new chapter of sacred history unfolded on November 24, 2025. The Kaliputra Mission, led by Guru Shri Praveen Radhakrishnan who follows his Guru Parampara of Shri Bama Khyapa of Bengal and Shri Shama Khyapa and supported by a steadfast Sena, completed a historic installation that many say transcends ordinary milestones of faith. Adya Maha Kali Vigraham returns to Kashi to her Son within the Ashtha Bhairava Temples of Ashitanga Bhairava and Bheeshana Bhairava (Bhoot Bhairav) temples, under the watchful blessing of Kashi’s sacred ground.
Kashi, often hailed as Kashi Nagaram and Bhairva is known as Kothwal of Kashi, is revered as the heart of spiritual India. It is here, amid the serpentine lanes and the sanctum of venerable temples, that Guru Shri Praveen Radhakrishnan-described by his followers as a spark of fire-led a devoted team in a ceremony that felt less like a program and more like a living prayer. The act of prathistha, performed on a day deemed extraordinarily powerful in the Hindu calendar, carried with it the weight of centuries of devotion and the hopeful promise of a transformed dawn for the land.
Bhairava, the fierce guardian of this sacred city, is revered as the Kshetrapala who stands sentinel over Khasi. For devotees, his protection extends over every corner of Kashi Nagaram, a city that many terms the eternal stage for devotion. In this moment, Bhairava’s blessings were invoked to sanctify a vision: the Kaliputra Mission’s steadfast vow to install Adya Maha Kali Vigraham across the land, beginning with the Ashtha Bhairava temples and radiating outward to touch the lives of countless bhakts.
The installation at Khasi is described by participants as a procession of fire and devotion-an auspicious confluence of ritual, art, and spiritual intent. The temple priest at Maha Kala Bhairava, Shri Krishna Patel, has long stood as a pillar of support for the mission, guiding the reverent flow of prayers, offerings, and ceremonial acts that culminated in this moment. His support, along with the steadfast cooperation of temple authorities and local communities, forged a path for a sacred event that many visitors say filled Khasi with an overwhelming sense of grace.
Cold statistics rarely tell the full story of faith, but the numbers speak in a language of their own: Kaliputra Mission has already completed ten powerful, epic installations of Adya Maha Kali Vigraham across Bharat, sparking a renewed movement for worship of Adya Maha Kali Devi in homes and hearts alike. The mission’s ambitious vision-10001 idols installations for Devi-seeks to empower devotees to honor her in their own homes, free from fear and bias, through accessible, reverent practice.
The ripple of blessing from this latest consecration has reached far beyond the temple precincts. Trusts and priests at Kashi Vishwanath Temple have reportedly expressed deep reverence for the mission’s intent, and messages of goodwill from across the spiritual spectrum have poured in. Even the political sphere has taken note, Uttar Pradesh’s Chief Minister, Shri Yogi Adityanath, extended his warm wishes, underscoring the shared sense of sacred duty to uplift through devotion and service.
The Kaliputra Mission emphasizes Sankalpa Seva-a vow of service undertaken without cost-as a cornerstone of its work. This ethos resonates with believers who see the project not merely as a cultural or religious endeavor but as a living, breathing prayer that binds communities in acts of generosity, humility, and hope. The initiative, rooted in the belief that true devotion manifests through service, seeks to weave Kali Mata’s fierce love into the daily lives of lay devotees and temple guardians alike.
Looking ahead, Shri Praveen Radhakrishnan and his team remain steadfast in their mission. The upcoming phase envisions a network of installations across more temples, coupled with programs that encourage households to welcome AdyaMahaKali into their daily rituals. The goal is not to enthrone a statue alone but to awaken a living piety that transforms households into sanctuaries of courage, compassion, and communal harmony.
As the sun sets over the ghats and the lamps flicker to life along the riverside, the city of Kashi stands as a testament to faith’s enduring power to unite, heal, and elevate. The Adya Maha Kali Vigraham’s new vigil in Khasi is more than a ceremony; it is a living prayer-an invitation to every devotee to walk, with reverence and fearless heart, toward a future blessed by the fierce, protective love of Maa Adya Maha Kali.
As the lights glow along the ghats and prayers rise with the evening breeze, Kashi stands as a witness to Adya Maha Kali’s new chapter in devotion. This is a historical moment for the Kaliputra Mission-a moment of faith, service, and hope shared by all.
