The image of kali stepping on shiva.... an explanation

[Guest guest]

Kali stepping on Siva3 as a dyadic symbol representing the

dialectical relationship between Time and Eternity:

 

"Kali is the prakriti bound to time, with one leg raised, in eternal

movement, wearing human heads as a garland representing all the

destruction and creation that goes on. And she is dark because …bound

to this space and time, we do not know where we are going to place

the next step, we do not know whether we will stand or if we are

going to fall down; so her whole movement, which is a precise

rendition of what is to come, remains veiled from our knowledge.

Hence the image of dark time as a dynamic posture of Kali, marching

forward, firmly founded on eternity."
