Preservation of manuscripts

Manuscript Department

We search for manuscripts across the ancient households of Kerala and take special care to preserve them through cleaning and digitizing. The texts which are out of print and useful at present are copied, typed and uploaded onto our website which can be accessed from any part of the globe for free of cost.

We now focus on ritual manuals related to Kerala tantra and some of pre and post Tantra Samucchaya liturgies are already made available for the public through our website. We aim at making available the whole range of Kerala tantra ritual manuals in future through our website by procuring them from the public and private manuscript repositories across Kerala.

We have a team of experts who either do all the preservation procedures here itself or the places where manuscripts are found.

What makes us happy is that texts with our watermark like Tantra Samucchaya (सं), Sesha Samucchaya (सं) are being widely used and circulated in and out of Kerala by scholars and practitioners alike.

क्षुद्रं हृदयदौर्बल्यं त्यक्त्वोत्तिष्ठ परन्तप ।।
