Kali, also known as Kalika , is a Hindu goddess
associated with death and destruction. The name Kali means "black", but has by folk
etymology come to mean "force of time (kala)". Despite her negative
connotations, she is today considered the goddess of time and change. Although
sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a
figure of annihilation still has some influence. More complex Tantric beliefs
sometimes extend her role so far as to be the "ultimate reality" or
Brahman. She is also revered as Bhavatarini (literally "redeemer of
the universe"). Comparatively recent devotional movements largely
conceive Kali as a benevolent mother goddess.
Kali is represented as the consort of god Shiva, on whose body she is often seen standing. She is associated with many other Hindu goddesses like Durga, Bhadrakali, Sati, Rudrani, Parvati and Chamunda. She is the foremost among the Dasa-Mahavidyas, ten fierce Tantric goddesses. |
