Kali and Guru-the Supreme Divinity

Gu means darkness and ru means to take away. Guru takes

away the darkness.

Kali also takes away darkness. In the Guru Gita by Swami

Satya Nanda, verse 32 it says: The Guru is Brahmaa, the Guru

is Vishnu, the Guru is Lord Mahesvara. The Guru is actually the

Supreme Divinity and therefore, we bow down to the respected

Guru. In essence the Guru and Kali are one and the same.

Both perform the same functions as the Supreme Divinity. In

one way or another all of the Gods and Goddessess take

away darkness. Call her Saraswati who gives us wisdom.

With wisdom we cut down the darkness of ignorance. Call her

Durga. When we are relieved of a difficulty we feel lighter and

brighter.

It has been my experience and priviledge to experience Kali's

sword of wisdom through my gurus Supreme devotion and

intuitive eyes. The Guru, as the Supreme Divinity, is able to poke

those asuras, all those egotisitical thoughts, that are hiding in

dark spaces that we can not see and bring them to light. Is this

not the blessing of Maha Kali? For in that vacant space there is

more room for light. And the process continues...

On a practical level if one is not able to be around a true Guru

then the next best way to learn more about Kali is by reciting

her mantras and studying the Kali Puja Book written,

transliterated and translated by Swami Satyananda Saraswati

available through the shreemaa.org website. The Kali puja

book contains the armor of Kali, the Adya Strotam (the song of

the foremost and the stotram which grants the strength of

Vishnu and takes away fear), 108 names and the 1000 names

of Kali are also included. There is also special puja in the back

on how to bring a spiritual child into the world.

Also, listening to Shree Maa sing the 1000 names of Kali takes

one beyond the mind deep into the heart of Mother Kali. If you

haven't heard this amazing CD or tape it is very highly

recommended and is also available on the website.

God bless you all with peace and light.

Namaste,

 

I like this explanation. Allow me to share a verse which I

constantly carry as a point of focus-

 

Shree Maa You are Kali

You are Swamiji too,

Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati

They all look as You.

 

At the Respected Feet of my Beloved Guru.
