Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 She is the Witness of the Great Dissolution. When everything -- and even every god -- is destroyed, She alone remains, witnessing that process. "Kalpopa-samharana ... sA sAksinI vijayate tava mUrtirekA": Glory to Your form, the lone Witness to the dance of Siva as the destruction of the Kalpa (SrI Samkara Mantra-MAtrkA-Stava). She is that aspect in everything known as sAksI kalA, which is indestructible. Every devotee becomes 'That' after liberation, or Mukti. - Dr. C.
