Hello everybody

February 20, 2003

Hello everybody,

I'm new to this group. I took Guru Diksha and MahaKali Diksha from Pujya Gurudev

about 4 months back. I'd like to know if anybody has successfully accomplished

the Mahakali sadhana.

I just came across the Mahakali chalisa from one of the websites. However there

was no translation to it. Though I have been chanting the chalisa everyday, I

do not know it's meaning. I'll be very glad if any of the Gurubhais/Gurubehens

would kindly translate the chalisa and Kali ashtak for me. I found the kali

ashtak from this gruop. Please do find an attachment of the Kali ashtak.

Thank you,

In divine friendship,Mystic staar

with a sword in your hand (you are usually shown on the battlefield or in a

cremation ground where you sit on a corpse surrounded by jackals and goblins);

you are at once soothing like the moon and fearsome like Rudra and the slayer

deity of black or dark complexion. You dwell amongst dark, untrodden

caverns.AADI MAATU TUUHII NARA SHIRAMAALIITUMHIIN KANSA HANANII

as if it were a magic talisman and a charm. He who wishes to attain brilliance

should read this hymn to Kali; for it will ensure the destruction of all those

who are hostile to Kali-promise which would never go in vain. Kali incarnates

the very vital force and power of Hari with which she destroys her enemies for

the well being of the world.

the auspicious rewards without any effort, so sings Sundardasa.
