Although a fierce and frightening Goddess, Kali is the
ever protecting mother. She is the Goddess of Destruction. Kali
is one of Hinduism's most complex gods to understand. She presents
the idea of duality. She represents both the negative and the positive
- death and protection. Kali is the ancient Hindu version of Western
author, Herman Hesse's, Abraxis (
). This Goddess, like
Durga Mata, is a form of Devi - the Hindu feminine power (Shakti). Devi
is worshiped in many different manifestations, with Kali being perhaps the
fiercest form. To her devotees, Kali Devi is the ultimate mother who
provides the ultimate protection. The aarti playing on this page, is
written specifically to Sri Siddha Siddeshwari Mata of the Haidakhan Ashram
of Mahaavatar Babaji.
