Legend says that the hibiscus is the favourite of Goddess Durga and

Kali. The story goes that Durga comes into the world during a war

between the gods and the demons. The demons are winning until the

Great Goddess Durga comes onto the scene. At the peak of the fighting,

she calls on her most potent aspect, Kali, who leaps from Durga's

third eye and charges onto the battlefield. At this point, the

hibiscus offered the red colour of its flowers to Her eyes. The

hibiscus did this so that Kali could indicate her wrath through the

redness of Her eyes. Pleased by the hibiscus' contribution, the

Goddess granted the hibiscus a wish. The bush humbly asked to be able

to serve Her forever. The Goddess therefore replied, "From now on

whoever offers me your flowers will be blessed by me." And with

wrathful, fierce, red eyes, Kali commences destroying the demon army.

 

When offering a hibiscus to Mother Kali, let the red color remind you

of Her fierce eyes. Let the redness call forth the fierce aspect of

yourself when it comes to destroying demons -- demons that really only

reside in your own mind.

 

Jai Kali Ma!

Hibiscus is a natural floral lingam that is why it is offered to kali as a

symbol of Kundalini rising to the anahata, although that meditative comment

is very inspiring and needed to increase the love and attempt to comprehend

Devi. Very thankful.
