All Glories to > Srila Prabhupada. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.Why Peapole are worship > mother Kali? What is the benifit if we worship mother Kali?is it there > anythink mantion in sastra about worship the mother Kali? Worship of Kali is mentioned in some Puranas, I believe. I don't know all the details since we don't do this worship. Kali is the destructive aspect of Durga, I have been told by Indian priests. I don't know specifically what benefits one gets by worshiping her in comparison to other forms of Durga. She gives generally material benefits although sometimes such things as finding a bona fide guru might also be given by her if one prays for it. the gopis worshipped katyayani to get Lord Sri Krishna as their husband. Worship to the devas or devis by devotees should be only for Krishna conscious purposes and they should be worshipped as vaisnavas/vaisnavis. Otherwise for a devotee in Krishna consciousness worshipping a deva as an independent or equal God/Goddess to Lord Sri Krishna is offensive. > Please enlighting me. > YS > Manhhari das. I hope this helps you. I hope that this finds you in good health. Your ever well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
