KALI MAHAVIDYA
KALI MAHAVIDYA
Kali is the first of the Das Mahavidya and the fiercest aspect of Goddess Durga. Kali is considered as the Goddess of time and change. She presides over the time before the creation of the universe. Kali is represented as the consort of Lord Shiva. Her abode is cremation grounds and her weapons are Kripana (Scimitar) and Trishul (Trident).
Because she is connected with death and destruction, Kali is sometimes depicted as the goddess of death, but that can be a misleading portrayal. She is the destroyer of evil forces, ignorance and sin. Kali is also revered as the goddess of time, creation, power and change. The destruction of ignorance, for example, makes way for change that can lead to enlightenment. The ability to create such change gives Kali her power.
As the goddess of death, Kali grants liberation (moksha) from the life-death cycle by destroying the illusion of the ego, or the individual's self-centered view of reality. To someone attached to the ego, Kali is a frightening deity, but to an enlightened person, she is viewed as affectionate and loving.
Kali Sadhana - Kali Sadhana is done to conquer over enemies. Kali Sadhana helps to defeat and make enemies powerless. Kali Sadhana is also performed to destroy diseases, to get rid of wicked spirits, wicked planets, fear of sudden death and to gain poetic skills.
ॐ क्रीं क्रीं क्रीं हूँ हूँ ह्रीं ह्रीं दक्षिणे कालिका
