Kali Puja is here..

[Guest guest]

As Bengalis across the globe sent Shakti in her

form of Mother Durga back to her heavenly abode, she

visited us again as Lakshmi a few days back. Shakti is

now "home" again as Kali, the form representing pure

power, or energy - the raw essence of all matter.

<br><br>We welcome our HER back home and pray

.....<br><br>THE BURNING GROUND<br><br>"Because Thou lovest the

burning ground,<br>I have made a burning ground of my

heart -<br>That Thou, Dark One, haunter of the burning

ground,<br>Mayest dance the eternal dance.<br>Nought else is within

my heart, O Mother:<br>Day and night blazes the

funeral pyre:<br>The ashes of the dead, strewn all

about,<br>I have preserved against Thy coming,<br>With

death-conquering Mahakala neath Thy feet<br>Do Thou enter in,

dancing Thy rhythmic dance,<br>That I may behold Thee

with closed eyes."<br><br>BENGALI HYMN TO

KALI<br><br>_/\_ Tat twam asi<br><br>Uma

Two verses in the bible come to mind as i read

your prayer.<br><br>"God is love."<br><br>"God is a

consuming fire"<br><br>I put them together and Love is a

consuming fire. It will consume all the fears within us as

we put on our garment of Love.<br><br>vicki

Well said Vicki.. <br><br>the fire of Love is

powerful indeed. As the purest form of energy, it will set

ablaze whatever it touches; it is upto us to use it as

fuel for our self-realization.<br><br>_/\_

Tatwamasi!<br><br>Indeed it is! Also it is love that will save our world from

self destruction.<br><br>vicki
