Krishna/Kali connection

[Guest guest]

Hello and Namaste.

 

I have been reading a couple of books recently (The Sword and the

Flute-Kali and Krsna: Dark Visions of the Terrible and the Sublime in

Hindu Mythology by David Kinsley and Tantric Visions of the Divine

Feminine: The Ten Mahavidyas by the same author).

 

The author of both seems to imply a direct connection between both

Krishna and Kali. I also personally felt a connection between the two

myself, but couldn't quite put a finger on it.

 

I also ran into an article here about this subject:

http://www.shivashakti.com/krishna.htm

 

but I am not sure if I fully grasped what it was talking about.

 

Could someone here shed a little light on this subject?

 

Thank you very much!

If you are not already familiar with the teachings of Ammachi, the " Hugging

Saint " , the sites are www.amritapuri.org and www.amma.org. AMMA reveals both

Krishna Bhava and Devi Bhava. Her authorized biography is AMMA: Healing the

Heart of the World by Judith Cornell.
