Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Namaste Priyasharan, Here is Swami's response to your question. See the question below his response. Our objective in the worship of Mother Kali is perform a sacrifice of our own ego, not someone else's. I have heard of human sacrifice, but in all honesty, during my 40+ years association with India, I have never seen such a sacrifice, nor do I know of any place where such a sacrifice has been performed, nor do I know of anyone who has performed it.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Radhe Radhe Jai Maa Thank you Swami for your answer and thank you fellow devotees for your answers too. I appreciate your satsang. I am very shy and am very undisciplined when it comes to sadhana. I am mostly a devotee of Sri Radhika who I believe is the source of all the forms of the Divine Mother. She is the Supreme form of Divine Love. I guess I prefer the loving form of Divine Mother, my earthly mother in this life was wrathful enough. Anyway. I'm happy to be here!
