The story behind Maa Kali's destructive form Maa Kali

There was a famous asura called Daruk who was delighted Brahma and therefore was awarded by a boon. The boon enabled the asura to cause pain towards Brahmins and the Gods as well as Brahmins. If that wasn't sufficient, Daruk began to establish his own kingdom in heaven. In response it was a sign that all Gods were able to reach out for Brahma and Vishnu and were informed that only women could defeat the devil Daruk.

In response, all the Devtas changed into female forms and fought Daaruk only to be defeated by Daaruk. Following the defeat after the defeat, the Gods arrived at their summit of Kailash summit to share the pain together with the Lord Shiva. After hearing the Gods Lord Shiva was looking to Maa Parvati and declared, "hey Kalyani I pray to destroy the evil Daruk and save the world." While listening to this an element of Mother Parvati came into Lord Shiva.

The part that was Bhagwati Mata slipped into the bodily body of Lord Shiva and as a result of the poison that was injected into the throat area of Shiva, Bhagwati Mata turned into a dark Goddess. Lord Shiva recognized the part of him inside him and he began to open the third eye of his. She was revealed as Goddess Kali with a ferocious form.

Like Shiva, Maa Kali had an eye third and an lunar line. The throat was a symbol of Karla poison and she carried an oar. When she was confronted by the fierce form that was Mother Kali, Gods and Siddhas fled. The sound of Maa Kali her voice, the entire Asura army, including Daruk was destroyed to dust. However, the fury of Kali was not over. Her anger was beginning to engulf the entire world. To protect the world from the fury of the mother, Shiva took the form of an infant and appeared the presence of Kali.

When mother Kali observed the baby Shirupi She was captivated by the form. She was captivated by Shiva and began feeding him from her breasts. In the next moment, Maa Kali became unconscious because of Shivji taking the wrath of mother Kali. To awaken the Goddess, Shivji performed Shiva Tandava. When Mother Kali returned to her senses she was able to see Shiva dance and joined in with him. This led the fact that she had been known as Yogini.

The two different forms of Goddess Kali

In Hinduism The goddess Kali is usually depicted and worshipped in two different forms. The one is the form with four arms and the other is the form with 10 arms, which is often referred to as Mahakali. Both forms have distinct significances associated with them.

Form with four arms

The Indian art depicts Kali, the Four-Armed Kali in blue or black color. Kali's eyes Kali are red which symbolizes anger. The hair of Kali is dishevelled and tiny fangs can be seen protruding from her mouth, and her tongue can be seen wagging. Her dress is a dress comprised of human arms as well as the garland is composed from human head. The four-arm version of kali is situated on the calm and powerful Shiva. The four hands of Kali each hold an item that is different, usually the sword, Trishul (trident) and an amputation of the head and a bowl of skull (kapala) that collects all the blood that comes from the head that has been severed.

In her left hand, Kali holds a sword and a head of a human. In this case, the sword represents divine wisdom, while the human head represents the human ego that must be defeated by divine wisdom in order to achieve moksha.

The right hand of Maa Kali hold her Abhaya (fearlessness) along with the Varada (blessing) mudras meaning that her followers will be always safe because she will guide them throughout their lives and even after.

The Goddess also wears an eagle made of human heads. It is counted at 108 or even 51. This is the reason she is called Mother of All mantras of Astrology.

The form with ten arms

The ten-armed version that is Kali represents the Kali Maha Kali shape. The way she appears in the Maha Kali form she appears shining like the blue stone. Maha Kali is said to have up to 10 faces with ten feet, and three eyes on each head. Each of her hands carries diverse parts, each of that represents an element of power that belongs to one of the Devas which are Hindu Gods. The power of Maha Kali is represented through the weapons Maha Kali is carrying. The meaning is that Mahakali is the source of the powers these gods are able to possess, and this is in accordance with the belief that Mahakali is the same as Brahman.

Sometimes, people prefer to worship "ek mukhi" or one-headed idol of Maha Kali that is displayed with ten arms. It is the same idea.

The tools that power Kali include the Kundalini Shakti (the power of spiritual energy) as well as it is the Kriya Shakti, the power to influence the universe in a creative way and Iccha Shakti, which is the power of will which personally compels our physical actions and movements as well as the cosmic sphere where it causes galaxies to disappear from each other into the dark night of the universe.
