Somebody asked why the tongue and teeth of Mother Kaali's picture

with me was protruded outwards.He was trying to ridicule me.I was

ashamed because i could not give an explanation.I would like to hear

from Mother worshippers here.

Om Lalithambikayai namah

Some know the imagery this way:

 

Kali, in her rage (bloodlust=fangs bared and tongue lolling or rigidly

extended) had killed the demon Raktabija and all his armies of demons.

The Gods called on Siva to stop her rampage. When she saw her

husband, Siva lying in her path she was embarrassed that she had

almost killed him, as well.

 

Some know the imagery in another way:

 

Kali Ma's bloodlust is menstrual in nature and is sated only

temporarily by Siva's erect lingam.

 

Love,

Felicia

Hmmm, could be. Solve et coagula? Is she Kala for that instant before

the universe (one's worldview) changes, coalescing into a changed

pattern, anew?

 

There is an instant when the two (Kali & Kala) are one as

All/Nothing/Infinite... I'll have to look up Ardhanishvara to see if

this describes Hir (Him/Hir).

 

Love,
