Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Not too much available on the web now (that I can find) that doesn't refer you in circles. But.... I would suggest THIS link bhagavadgitausa.com/kali There is a wonderful article on Kali Ma with cross cultural comparisons and some nice images - and the list of 100 names. The only web reference I could find with the names. Hope this helps. Namaste, Cliff - Danilo Jezernik Sunday, June 03, 2007 2:21 AM 108 names of Kali Ma Namaste to all!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Namaste Cliff and prem, These web site is wonderful, but why there are 100, 108 and 1008 names of Kali Ma and of others? What is the diference between those numbers? Whay there is not just 1008 names of kali or just 108 or 100? Where is significance here? Thank you two, Om Kali Ma, Om Shanti Shanti Shanti, danilojezernik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 The " namas " are descriptive, evoking specific references and teachings; they are not merely " names. " They are also mantras and prayers, each with their own usage and function in specific situations and for specific devotees as determined by the Guru. Each successive distillation (fewer names or fewer syllables) concentrates the intensity of the whole. Thus, the fifteen syllables of Pancadasi are said to concentrate the entirety of the Lalita Sahasranama. *** Why there is not just 1008 names of kali or just 108 or 100? *** Why is there more than one prayer and more than one hymn to any form of God? Certainly the Infinite Kali can be approached through infinite means. aim mAtanyai namaH , " Danilo Jezernik " <danilo.jezernik wrote: > > Namaste Cliff and prem, > > These web site is wonderful, but why there are 100, 108 and 1008 names > of Kali Ma and of others?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Namaste: 100, 108, 1008 are all sacred numbers, and thus most Nama chants use one of them as a basis. What I find interesting in all of the various " Nama " mantras is how similar the epithets become. If you look at the 1008 names of Vishnu and Shiva, for instance, there is quite a degree of overlap. In the end, all of these names exist for the assist the worshipper to visualize and come closer to the deity in question. I have not looked at the names of Maa Kali, but I suspect some of them will overlap with the 1008 names of Sri Lalita. Jai Maa. -- -Santo " Aum Shanti Shanti Shantih.
