Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Kala means Darkness, Kali takes away that Darkness. She takes away the darkness from every individual who strives in the path of perfection by performing the spiritual disciplines of purifying austeries. Just as all the colours of the spectrum mix into black, yet still black remains black, so too Kali, who is completely Dark, Unknowable, takes away all the Darkness, yet She, Herself, remains unchanged. Kala means Time and i means the Cause; Kali, the Cause of Time or She Who is Beyond Time. All existence has its perception in time, and therefore the Cause of Time, She Who is Beyond Time, activates Consciousness to perception, allows Consciousness to perceive. She wears a garland of the heads of impure thoughts, which She has severed from the personalities of Her devotees, she cuts down all of the conflicting concepts which debate their various idealogies within the arena of mind, silences the tumultuous roar of mental conflict and the anguish of egotistical attachment, takes the physical manifestations to Herself, and makes a garland of perplexity. Thus She wears all karma as an ornament, while She stops the chattering voices of the active mind, so that Her devotees can experience the purity of inner peace in the absorption of solitude.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 May I ask please if there is a day of the week associated with Kali? Might you also know what day is associated with Ganesh, Saraswati, and Durga? Thank you so very much for your help.
