Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 Namaste, I found these references only. Wondered if other members have come across more details. http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/5229/kali/kali.html Kali ("the black one") is the Hindu mother goddess, symbol of dissolution and destruction. She destroys ignorance, maintains the world order, and blesses and frees those who strive for the knowledge of God. In the Vedas the name is associated with Agni, the god of fire, who had seven flickering tongues of flame, of which Kali was the black, horrible tongue. This meaning of the word has meanwhile been replaced by the goddess Kali, the grim consort of Shiva. ____________________ http://pears2.lib.ohio-state.edu/FULLTEXT/JR-ENG/chak.htm Antiquity of Tantricism By Chintaharan Chakravarti The Indian Historical Quarterly Vol. VI, No.1 March, 1930 pp. 114-126 The general view is that the Tantras originated from the Saubhagya-kanda of the Atharva-Veda. Some of the Tantra works are found to record this in definite terms. The Kalikularnava Tantra has got two lines in the beginning stating "Now Devi says in the Atharvana Samhita."(4) This in fact identifies this work as an Atharvana-samhita, thus clearly hinting at the close connection of the Atharvaveda with this Tantra. ____________________ Regards, sunder , Colin Earl <srichakrayoga> wrote: > There is a desciption of Bhadra Kali in the > Atharvanna Veda, were in the Veda I do not know.
