Kali purification

[Guest guest]

Namaste

 

In order for this energy transfer, guided meditation, and purification

rite we call Kali puja to work smoothly, I find it best to think of

Shree Maa as Kali. She is Beauty and Compassion incarnate. She is

living wisdom and totally focused and one pointed in all Her actions.

She is every attribute described in Her 1000 names in the Kali puja

book.

She is our Mother.

As our Mother, She has only one purpose: to remove suffering from Her

devottees, Her children. She knows each of our hearts, sees all the

knots and cracks and darkness from lifetimes of suffering in maya.

Swiftly, with Her sharp sword, She cuts us open, plunges inside, and

performs open heart surgery. She opens our heart, cuts out the

infected area, and closes the wound.

The first meeting we have with Her, whether in our hearts or in

person, is when the surgery takes place.

After the surgery, She sprinkles blessed Ganga water on the wound, and

prays for rapid healing, and soothes our forehead with a cool and

loving touch.

As we heal, She teaches us how to worship Her. What mantras to use,

how and when to use them, and promises that whenever we say Her name

She will come.

The mantras are the medicine and the elixir which heal us, and help us

to blend more and more with Her. The mantras take away the mind, and

bring us back to the purity of pure consciousness, that state where

She and we are one.

Do we have to visit the Mandir to have that experience? No. We only

have to pray with pure devotion and She will hear our prayer and come.

In Her biography, "Before Becoming This", She states She hears every

prayer offered. Every prayer.

We should take every chance to learn how to make our prayers more

powerful and pleasing to Her.
