" I really love this list. It's funny, sometimes being immersed in my Hindu studies and tabla playing, learning Bengali etc. I can feel quite alone. None of my friends share the same kind of passion and I know a few Indians, but really don't spend time with them regularly. When I hear others speak of Kali from their own hearts it fills me with joy because these feelings are also my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 >From My understanding of that Image of Kali standing or dances on Shiva prone body comes from a story as I have read:Once upon a time Kali began to dance out of control on the battlefield after becoming drunk on the blood of her victims. To stop her rampage, Shiva lay down on the battlefield like a corpse so that when she dance on her body she would stop, recognising him as her husband. It is thus as a corpse, as one of her victims, that Siva calms Kali and elicits her grace. I am just playing with this thoughts : Kali as I see her represents the control element that have gone uncontrol. It is this uncontrolled elements that will cause our own destruction if it is not control. Lets bring it around us : the earth quake, the flood etc.. all these are natural elements that we cannot control. And when they struck, they struck hard and show no mercy to anyone. This is what fears us most. Those bleedings happening within our body that cannot be control which will eventually lead to death. This to me is what Kali represent. Corpse: I see as detachment. Detachment from the materialistic and worldly pleasure. When you die, you die alone and you leave everything behind. This is what Kali wants from us. Leave everything behind and come to me as you are when you are dead. But Only when you are deeply in love with the divine, you are willing to leave everything you have behind.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Nora, this is uncanny! we both wrote almost exactly the same thing at the same time about the Kali-devi-dancing-on-Lord-Shiva post (well my message came late because some had to approve it etc). Looks like Kali ma triggered us both to write similar things! I am stunned and ecstatic about this synchronicity! Jai Ma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on duty now in Shakti Sadhana, till not sure what time. I am just thinking : How Nora Junior and Senior going to look scary , for its the Halloween party in school tonight. Then the Image of kali comes. hahhaaa. "Looks like Kali ma triggered us both to write similar things!" Looks like she does. SHE works in amazingly wonderful ways, didnt SHE. "I am stunned and ecstatic about this synchronicity!" Somebody told me once, never get over board with your emotions. That too will creat an uncontrol situation. hahahaaa Well yes it looks like we both shared the same idea about Kali. From the look at our group for the past few days, looks like Kali IS indeed into one of her dances. Such powerful energy !!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
