Kudachadri: Vaikunta Dhama

The historical significance of the site of the BEV Society at Kudachadri Mountain is elucidated in the ancient epics such as Mahabharata, Ramayana, Puranas, Itihasas, and Srimad Bhagavatam. The Narasimha Purana gives an exacting description in the Sahyadri Mahatmya and hallows this spot as the adored abode of Lord Vishnu in this world and equates all the water tirthas with the sacred Ganges River in potency. The above texts claim the location BEV as being non-different from Sri Vaikuntha Dhama in this world.
The incarnation of Lord Rishabadeva had the specific purpose of re-establishing varnashram in this world as the most perfect system for world governance. The present BEV site, in a valley, on the side of the “Kutakachala” mountain is the exact spot where Lord Rishabadeva departed from this mortal world in a forest fire.

TRANSLATION : “Actually Lord Risabhadeva had no material body, but due to yogamaya, He considered His body material, and therefore, because He played like an ordinary human being, He gave up the mentality of identifying with it. Following this principle, He began to wander all over the world. While traveling, He came to the province of Karnataka in South India and passed Lord Rishabhadeva through Konka, Venka and Kutaka. He had no plan to travel this way, but He arrived near Kutakacala and entered a forest there. He placed stones within His mouth and began to wander through the forest, naked and with His hair disheveled like a madman. (Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 6 – Verse 7)

The forests that surrounds BEV are known as “Ambavana”, the sporting gardens in this mortal world of *Ambika’ the Divine Mother of the Universe. She sports every night in these forests with the 33 crores of demigods. The Adi Mookambika Temple is situated on Kudachadri peak where Mookambika slew the Mookasura demon.

This Kudachadri mountain is reputed in the Uttara Ramayana, to be the topmost peak of the Marutamala mountain carried by mighty Hanuman from the heavens containing “sanjeevani” the herbs that give life to a dead man and which revived Sri Laksman when he was struck by the arrows of Indrajit.
