Why does parvati became mahakali

The Gods evaded her rage when she swung her sword. Kali's anger took a turn for a worse, searching for more blood to satisfy her bloodlust and to harm more life beings.

Lord Vishnu and sage Narad appeared to Lord Shiva and informed her about Parvati as Mahakali and they express their concern to him. Lord Shiva thought about the means to pacify Parvati that she will not violate her duties as a mother. Blinded by bloodlust, Kali goes searching for more blood to drink and destroys all that enters her sight. But when she steps on a chest, her thirst of blood and her killing spree had finally come to an end.

Lord Shiva himself had acted like a dead body as he had come to pacify his wife, for the sake of the world. Kali sticks out her tongue. She takes her foot off of her husband's chest. Then, her fury turned into sorrow as she realised that the reality did happen in a destructive result. She then re-assumes the form of Parvati. After Lord Shiva wakes up, Parvati is terrified and worried what punishment he will give his wife for what she did.

But to her surprise, he was proud of her. Parvati is remorseful and sought his forgiveness. Lord Shiva tries to tell his grieving wife that she did not do anything wrong.

But Parvati insisted that she must be punished for what she did. Lord Shiva made many attempts to console her as she has executed the duties of a mother. At that time, the Gods and Lord Vishnu arrive and praise Parvati for killing Raktabeej and showing the world the divine form of mother. Lord Shiva enlightens Indra about the concluding war and the freedom of the terrorism of Dhumralochan and Raktabeej's atrocities.

Kali Tries To Swallow Shankhchud. Kali Swallows The Creation. Maa Kali in The Battlefield. Kali Steps on Lord Shiva. Goddess Kali's Bloodlust. Kali Tries To Devour Shankhchud. Kali Armed With Her Scimitar. Nauseated , I rushed outside to the bank of Ganges ,struggling to make sense of it all. What a striking contrast , I thought , between the bloodbed I see here — and and the peaceful sages I lived among ,who follow the same Hindu tradition.

I grappled to understand the apparent contradiction. Approaching an old sadhu who was reading a book and leaning against a jackfruit tree , I revealed my dilemma. With a sacrificial sword T severed the heads of many animals.

But repeated nightmares began to haunt my sleep. The goats I killed would invade my dreams. First,I saw them screaming in misery. Next,staring with vengeful eyes ,they gored me with their horns and lacerated my flesh with their teeth.

For those who seek the essence ,the path is selfless service and meditation on God. The Vedas are said to be like desire tree wherein we can find a path fulfill whatever we seek. But despite all they do in her temple ,Goddess Kali is vegetarian.

But this incident gave me a deeper understanding that, without a mature guide , apparent ,contradictions in every tradition could seriously bewilder me. Indian culture ,Hindu in specific, sees Kali as terrible and devouring. The relationship is that of fear and placation resulting therefrom. Animals are slaughtered for her so that she does not turn herself in her hunger to the humans. In Bengal where kali is worshipped in frenzy unequalled in other states of India , when a dear one falls mortally ill , the male head of the family will offer a thimbleful of his own blood to propitiate her.

The average Hindu has no understanding of the Nirvana — Sunyata , death — rebirth metaphysics and mythologises associated with Kali. She is terrible Motherpower , the Matriarch ,identified with women and placated by man. The soldiers were spirits ,ethereal beings ,yaksha and yakshnis. There is a lot of activity that goes on unseen in this world. The universe in a way protects man from this activity of ethereal beings lest he go insane seeing the war.

The universe has always been the battleground for the fight between the forces of light and darkness. So the boon be granted. But not all animals souls will agree to it, unless the soul of that particular animal attains some spiritual reward. This perhaps implies a non-Vaishnava strand of thought more in keeping with Shavism as Vaisnavas are, like Jains, strict vegetarians.

Kali Ma is possibly a tribal god now on the world stage, possibly like Allah and Jehova. As I perceive,Kali is that part of nature which controls the jati immune system of the body. It protects when benevolent, it attached body autoimmune diseases when berserk. Here I consider Durga as the nature around us.

Kali is one aspect of nature manifesting in a body as an autoimmune system. In my father Bernard packed in his house painting business and set off for two years on a backpacking trek to the remotest corners of the world. When he finally arrived in the oasis city of Kashgar , China, he was so impressed with its history that he decided to start a new life collecting and selling exotic goods from all over the world. For years the legendary city of Kashgar was a melting pot of ideas and a key trading post on the historic Silk Road.

It was this unique combination of philosophy and trade that my father wanted to recreate at home. Starting in markets in , he opened his first store in the Sydney suburb of Newtown in I gave up my own career as a government scientist to join him in and soon convinced my partner Ian to join us in what was to become the Family Business.

Today our version of Kashgar stocks a hugely diverse range of furniture, rugs, textiles, antiques, handicrafts and jewellery sourced from over twenty different countries including India, Nepal, Tibet, China, Thailand, Burma, Laos, the Philippines, Vietnam, Mexico, Peru, Turkey, Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan.

Our collection includes contemporary and tribal silver and gold jewellery, a unique range of headhunting curios, antique Buddhist relics and a collection of one-off necklaces, earrings and bracelets that I design and create myself using the beads and jewellery making techniques of ethnic minorities from around the globe.

Kashgar is a philosophy as well as a store. We are committed to supporting traditional artisans and small village communities by selling authentic handcrafted goods which are personally collected by us. By supporting traditional methods of design and production we hope to encourage local cottage industries which have a low impact on the environment and help ethnic minorities maintain their self-sufficiency into the 21st Century.

We are particularly committed to assisting women around the world and to this end have worked with several organisations including the Hua Bin Women's Union of Vietnam, the East Timorese Women's Association and Tikondane in Zambia. Time honoured means of craftsmanship and traditional ways of life are disappearing as people all over the world give up their identity in favour of jeans and T-shirts. We see our trade as a means of staving off the inevitable encroachment of the 21st century, assisting communities to decide for themselves which parts of the western world they wish to incorporate medicine, education and which they wish to reject prostitution, drug production, begging and servitude to warlords.

We encourage our customers to think of the handicrafts and artifacts they buy from us as an investment: a piece of history and a way of life that may soon be gone forever.

In the past our pieces appeared in many movies including The Hobbit, Mission Impossible 2, Queen of the Damned, Scooby Doo, Moulin Rouge and Wolverine, and in many televisions series, as well as in plays, commercials and exhibitions. We've found special pieces for individual customers as well as for film sets, event management companies, hotels, businesses, consulates and embassies.

The uniqueness of our stock means that we are also very appealing to interior and fashion designers with a taste for the exotic. There is something for everyone at Kashgar - collectors, the curious, those looking for a special present or for something unique to adorn the home.

Most of our items are one-off specialties; other pieces we only stock in small quantities so as to continuously offer a wide and ever-changing range of interesting products. We are also packed with ideas for decorating home and work premises that will challenge your established concepts of design and storage.

Saurab Marjara July 22, Nice blog. Ranjeet Tate March 07, Thanks for communicating the complexity of Kali for western readers. Sabrina November 03, Hi guys…. Gerald Dharmaraj Anthony November 03, Mother Kali is misunderstood because we as finite beings trying to understand with our human limited mind an infinite raw Force that can either loving or destructive but above both these aspects in Its Natural Beingness.

Parvati says that he had told her that he will tell 9 stories, he asks, so now you will not get up? Shiva waits and Parvati asks who are you waiting for. Parvati asks for the next story. Shiva now narrates the marriage of Shiva and Parvati. The mother is anxious and is shocked to see Shiv Shankar.

Matsya Parvati interrupts Shiv and asks, why Rani Mainawati fainted? At the wedding palace, Parvati asks Mahadev that was it necessary to come in his Yogi attire today as well. Narayan takes Mahadev for a makeover. Manipura purak chakra awakens and directs the energy and initiates Parvati on the path of recognizing her family. She asks was she apt for Shiva? Mahadev then tells the story of the fourth form of Shakti - Devi Kushmanda. Shiv says that ku means small, ushma means energy and anda means cosmic egg and that is how Kushmanda created the entire universe.

The sun gets its energy from that a small atom and that is Devi Kushmanda. Anhad chakra awakens from where anhad raag took birth and Shiv asks Parvati to see her real identity.

Parvati recognizes Shiva. Shiv says that maybe you need rest and I need a small conversation. Shiv meets her parents and her mother asks why is Parvati anxious after every story.

Shiva says that her chakras are awakening and slowly she is getting back to know her Astitva identity. Meanwhile, the scene continues where Mahishasur asks Brahma ji that how can he leave without giving him the boon. Mahishasur then says now I will ask for the boon and you have to give it to me.
