A Question....

[Guest guest]

Shakti has always been present in people's lives.

In clubs or out of clubs.<br>In one's day-to-day

lives, one sees the various forms of Shakti. Which makes

one wonder - what is the Mother like.<br><br>This

reminds me of a Bengali song (by the Kali devotee

Ramprasad), a few words/lines in which are: <br><br>"Pankey

Baddha Koro Kori<br>Pangurey Laghao Giri<br>Karey dao

Maa Barhma Pada, <br>Kaarey koro Adhogaami"

<br><br>(You trap an elephant in mud<br>You make a lame person

climb a mountain<br>You raise some to the level of

Brahma, <br>And some you give the worst)<br><br>One says

everything that happens is Karma. And it is this Karma,

which the devotee says, is the will of Shakti. {I tend

to use the words Shakti and Mother interchangeably

but I mean the same thing}. Everything is Mother's

will.<br><br>A lot of things are happening in the world today.

Hatred has increased. People have developed a severe

feeling of animosity towards their brethren. Hindu

mythology states that Kali had started massive destruction.

Drunk with the blood of Raktavija whom she had devoured

whole, she was slaughtering any that dared cross her

path, adorning Herself with the heads and limbs of her

victims. To pacify the raving Goddess and end Her frenzied

havoc, Shiva threw Himself at her feet. She stopped,

struck her tongue out at her mistake. <br>What is

happening today? Countries are attacking countries. People

are attacking people. US is waging a war against

Afghanistan and people are scared.<br><br>My question is

(after this big introduction) is this all the role of

Shakti? If so…where will it end? Is the play of the

asuras or the dance of Kali? Will there be a Shiva to

pacify the mother if she is dancing her dance of doom?
