Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 93 Greetings. What was written by "malyavan_tibet" about sculls is obvious nonsense. Yes there exists an interpretation that sculls are representing matrika; however i`m unsure whether it is based on Scripture. But rather possible, `coz Devi as Kundalini is Matrika-shakti. Sculls may represent souls of those who devoted theirselves to Her. Also not from Scripture - just my guess. Concerning why Kalika stands on Shiva (NOT mere "shava" ) there is story in Nirvana-tantra (cited elsewhere as well). Of course it has nothing to do with kali-yuga. However numerous sourses state that Kali (along with Tara) is in fact dominant among Mahavidyas in kali-yuga.
