Kullu is the major gateway of “Kaulantak Peeth”. In fact, Kullu got its name from “Kaulantak Peeth”, with the time lapse the word “Kaulantak or Kaulantak” degenerated into “Kulluta or Kulut” and then to modern day “Kullu”. It is also known by the name “Kullutaa or Kulut” which is the traditional name of the place “Kullu”. In the Ramayana it is mentioned as “Siddhashram”, in “Kalki Purana” and “Bhavishya Purana” as “Sambhalgram” i.e the land of Shambhu. The Peeth is not an artificially or arbitrarily created idea by someone’s imagination, rather it has been explicitly mentioned in the ancient scriptures also. Himalaya and Kaulantak Peeth are inseparable. With the rise of Himalaya itself the Kaulantak Peeth came into existence. The natural world of Himalaya with its mountains and hills are the symbols of the Peeth which is as old as the Himalaya and the nature itself. The physical form is the expanse of Himalaya and the invisible form is the hidden invisible kingdom inside the physical Himalaya. The Peeth is present in both the physical gross world as well as the mystical invisible realm. It is here in Kaulantak Peeth that the real penance and practices of the sublime begins. The “Tantra Kula” is practiced everywhere in the globe but when it reaches the Kaulantak Peeth i.e the crown chakra of the globe, it ends there and it isn’t just confined to the “Tantric Kula” but a search beyond that. Similarly, this whole earth is like a human body and there is this “Tantra Kula”. To reach the crown chakra, the Kula Kundalini has to pass through many chakras and when the Kula Kundalini shakti merges with the Shiva in Crown Chakra, the Kula Kundalini ends and only Shiva remains. If Earth and Human body are to be compared, the crown chakra is the pinnacle of human existence while as the “Kaulantak Peeth” is the pinnacle and ultimate place of the whole civilization. The crown chakra has thousand spokes and similarly the Peeth also has thousand mountain peaks. It is like the Crown chakra on the forehead. The word ‘Kaulantak’ is made of ‘kula’ + ‘antya’ i.e the place where all Kulas end. There are more than 250 Kulas in the Himalayas which practices Tantra. Tantra is practiced through “Kula” or lineage. Tantra holds the most prominent place among the wisdom traditions. It is also the abode of various other wisdom traditions like Yoga, Karmakanda rituals, Mantra, Ayurveda, Yuddha and Sastra Vidhya – Siddhas art of warfare, Jyotish etc. Kaulantak Peeth is known as the supreme seat of knowledge on Tantra. Alternatively, one has to await an invitation to enter this realm. And it requires certain mystical qualifications for one to enter it. This eternal garden of everlasting bliss is a mystical abode. One can cover all of Himalaya by foot or with any modern method and might not find this region at all. But strictly speaking, this assembly of truth seers is not a place in an ordinary sense of the world. Guru Mandala is the life force of Kaulantak Peeth. Whenever the Guru Madala feels that the society needs a new spiritual direction, it sends its representative to the world so that the spirituality can be revived. It is the Guru Mandala who is responsible for all the spiritual upliftment of the world. It is an extended area of the Himalayas where the circle of supremely enlightened masters known collectively as Guru Mandala resides. It has been referred with other names like “Siddhashram” i.e abode of the Siddhas, “Gyanagunj” etc. “Kaulantak Peeth” is the land of the Siddhas.
