Exploring India :
Maa Kali
Santha
Om Kreem Kalikaye Namah !!! Troubles dissolve by constantly taking refuge at her feet . Surrender to Maa kali .
Maa Kali is one of the most well known and worshipped Hindu Goddesses . The name Kali is derived from the Hindu word that means " time ", and that also means " black ". Kali in Hinduism , is a manifestation of the Divine Mother , which represents the female principle . Frequently , those not comprehending her many roles in life call Kali the goddess of destruction . She destroys only to recreate , and what she destroys is sin , ignorance and decay . She is equated with the eternal night , is the transcendent power of time , and is the consort of Lord Shiva .
It is believed that its Shiva who destroys the world , and Kali is the power or energy with which Shiva acts . Therefore , Kali is Shiva ' s shakti , without which Shiva could not act . Kali receives her name because she devours kala ( Time ) and then resumes her own dark formlessness . Kali as such is pure and primary reality ( the " enfolded order " in modern physics ); formless void yet full of potential .
~ Jai Maa Kali !!! ~ Shubh Prabhat !!!
