Kali as the Yuga Shakti: The Power to Create a New World Age

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees of the Great Mother,

 

Namaste - i bow to the Divine Feminine who resides in you!

 

i am posting the second article, KALI AS THE YUGA SHAKTI, and the key to

understanding it is:

 

" The Dark Goddess is not simply a Hindu Goddess but the universal

form of the Mother, who is the real ruler of the world. The awakening

to the Goddess that is occurring today at a global level is, yogically

speaking, an awakening to the energy of Kali. The Mother Goddess as

the dark, mysterious and transcendent Devi holds the key to the real

power and presence of the universe in all her manifestations. Kali is

once more entering into humanity and into the sphere of the Earth to

work her magic and her awe. "

" These are the times described in the Holy Bible as the Last Judgment

and in the Koran as Qiyamah — the Resurrection Time. Astrologically

it also called the Age of Aquarius, the Time of Rebirth and of great

spiritual development on the Earth.”

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

" Today, Sahaja Yoga has reached the state of Mahayoga, which is en-

masse evolution manifested through it. It is this day's Yuga Dharma.

It is the way the Last Judgment is taking place. Announce it to all

the seekers of truth, to all the nations of the world, so that nobody

misses the blessings of the Divine to achieve their meaning, their

absolute, their spirit. "

KALI AS THE YUGA SHAKTI

By Shambhavi Chopra

 

The Power to Create a New World Age

 

As the great power of time, Kali's Shakti creates the different Yugas

or world ages that humanity passes through during the long cycles of

cosmic evolution. Kali is the Goddess of eternity watching over all

our temporal changes and facilitating those which promote our inner

growth. More specifically, Kali is the Yuga Shakti or the power of

time that takes humanity from one world age to another. She works to

sustain the spiritual energy of the planet through both the ages of

light and darkness.

 

The Dark Goddess is not simply a Hindu Goddess but the universal form

of the Mother, who is the real ruler of the world. The awakening to

the Goddess that is occurring today at a global level is, yogically

speaking, an awakening to the energy of Kali. The Mother Goddess as

the dark, mysterious and transcendent Devi holds the key to the real

power and presence of the universe in all her manifestations. Kali is

once more entering into humanity and into the sphere of the Earth to

work her magic and her awe.

 

The Devi brings about all planetary transformations, arousing the

planetary Shakti and stimulating not only individual awareness but

the greater planetary consciousness. The current natural and human

catastrophes that are happening throughout the world today are an

indication of this transformative power of Kali pushing humanity to

change, to break through our divisive beliefs and end our destructive

behavior that has now come to threaten all life on the planet.

 

Until we make the decisive inner change and give up our destructive

attitudes and actions, we face the universal wrath of Kali at a

global level, with the danger of global catastrophes gradually

increasing over time, until we are faced with the choice of either

radically changing how we live or perishing as a species. To meet the

challenge of Ma Kali, we must turn within and let go of our efforts

to control the outer world, seeking to understand ourselves first.

 

Today our civilization does not honor the Devatas, the cosmic forces

of the Gods and Goddesses that embody the sacred powers of nature on

which we depend for our well-being. Intellectuals and academics

reduce the living Deities, by whose grace we function, to aberrations

of psychology, politics or anthropology, mere reflections of ordinary

human behavior that bears nothing sacred about it. Religions, in the

name of God, practice politics and seek to dominate the world with

their beliefs, rather than spreading a message of love, unity, the

grace of the Mother, and Self-realization.

 

Meanwhile, even those who try to practice Tantra have generally

reduced it to little more than black magic, using the spirit world to

promote material gains for themselves and their paid clientele. The

essence of the Yoga tradition seems to have been waylaid for

commercial exploitation and personal self-aggrandizement on all

fronts.

 

There is little real Dharma, or natural and universal principles,

even among those trying to save the planet. We have many

disgruntled `angry' activists seeking to lay the blame for the world

problems on someone else, shouting and cursing others, rather than

becoming truly peace-loving helpers who aim to unite us for the

greater benefit of all.

 

Sarvam santih santir eva santih

May All Things Be Peaceful, the Peace of Peace!

 

We continue to divide up humanity in the name of religion and

politics, fighting among ourselves, while overall we continue to

devastate the planet, plundering her resources and making toxic her

lands, water and air.

 

To bring our planet into a new and spiritual era, a new world age of

higher consciousness, we must first gain the Shakti or the capacity

to do so. We must have the power, the competence, the sincerity and

the grace of the higher forces. We cannot on our own take us beyond

our human, social and psychological problems, because our behavior

and mindset exists within their field. For this we must once more

humbly seek the grace of the Mother, particularly as Kali, the Mother

as the ruler of all time and transformation.

 

We need a new Shakti to bring this necessary global change about, a

new descent of the spiritual power of the Mother Goddess. For this to

occur, we must first bring the Shakti into ourselves, into our own

minds and hearts, and learn to live according to its shocks, rhythms

and transformative vibrations, letting it purify and remake our own

psychological nature first.

 

The power of the Divine feminine is once more needed to facilitate a

new birth of higher consciousness in the world, not simply at an

individual but at a planetary level. We must recognize the Goddess in

all of her forms, of which her transformative manifestation of Ma

Kali is perhaps the most central. A feminine grace, gentleness and

kindness is necessary to soothe the pain and anger that is burning us

from within, stoked by the greed, ambition and ignorance of

generations.

 

We must move beyond the vagaries of human passions and needs, opening

up our hearts to the living Shakti force of Kali. Ma Kali yearns for

her full expression to be felt and experienced in order to make our

lives into something meaningful for the soul. We can sense her

mystical force rising powerfully once again in this unsettled

transitional era. She is searching passionately for sadhakas to carry

forth her benign wishes.

 

For the truly new to come into being, the old must first pass away.

This is the work of Kali's Shakti or time-force. But it is not simply

an external factor of the destruction of evil people by the good.

Today, we largely live in a grey zone, where the purity of heart is

practically non-existent. Meanwhile, no soul in essence is evil; all

can be raised up if we reach them at the right time and

circumstances. We must drive out all weakness, blame, pettiness and

narrowness inside ourselves.

 

The negative or Asuric force does momentarily prevail, but often the

darkness is greatest before the dawn, and the negativity must

manifest outwardly before it can be totally swept away. There is no

undivine force or power that Ma Kali cannot match, consume and

dissolve into her higher peace.

 

The Devata or higher divine force needs to be honoured in our times

of strife and chaos. We must look beyond our human and historical

fixations to the cosmic powers. The inevitable ecological

disturbances that are beginning to occur are meant to drive us into

the shelter of these benevolent and powerful cosmic forms, to make us

recognize our dependency on the greater universe and its divine

essences. The Devata's presence will once again manifest with a surge

of benign energies to bring about a peaceful existence for humanity

and for the Earth.

 

Ma Kali is the ultimate power behind all genuine spiritual and yogic

movements and their unfoldment through the great process of time.

Mahadevi Kali is the Yuga Shakti, heralding the new movement of Yoga

awakening this Shakti power. Her role has already been manifested

earlier in this era by great seers and teachers like Ramakrishna,

Yogananda, Aurobindo, Anandamayi Ma and many others, who mainly

worked through the power of the Mother Goddess.

 

Yet there remains an urgent need for new avatars and forms of Kali's

energy, a new resurgence of her worship and a greater descent of her

grace. Kali holds the key to our future as a species and our destiny

at a soul level. Ma Kali carries the power to uplift humanity, but to

find that we must discover her as the Universal Mother resting in the

flame of the spiritual heart within us.

 

We need to accept Kali's purifying fire in order to raise us into the

higher light in which alone our personal and global problems can be

solved. Those who can endure and carry Kali's fire can bring a new

light to the world. They will discover a vision of the future that is

in harmony with the eternal truth and universal harmony.
