Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 The story goes that Kali was created to deal with a demon that was ravaging the earth. She came down and did her "dance of destruction (or death)" and was so into this dance that she didn't realize she had already killed the demon and was now killing innocent people. Shiva, her dear love and husband, came down and threw himself upon the dead bodies. Only when Kali realized she was trampling on Shiva's corpse did she come to her senses. It is based on this story alone that you will find many pictures and statues with Kali standing upon Shiva.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 there is a lot of intricate explanation involved with the position of Shiva and Maa Kaali on top of him. the puranic story is authentic and conveys only an outer meaning. however, if we study deeply, the figure of Kaali reveals the chaitanya or the action involved in every body and being and this stands on the perfect Sivahood or the truth. shiva is known for purity and truth called "Sat" and the mother evolved from his is known for action and life called "Chit" and their union is the happyness or the joy called "ananda" making the trinity satchidananda which is the ultimate triangle of life. we find this triangle in each and every integral part of our life, no matter even an iota of it. this is what i feel about Maa Kaali and Lord Shiva. always at the feet of my Guru, Samvidaananda saktha "jeansdi <arrahmanmalaysianfan (AT) hotmail (DOT) com>" <arrahmanmalaysianfan (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote: ohh i c,coz i dun like if anything against LORD SHIVA!!thanx for yer explaination!!byeTo from this group, send an email to:Kali_MaYour use of is subject to the With Mail you can get a bigger mailbox -- choose a size that fits your needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
