BETWEEN BUSINESS MEN AND GANGSTERS

Wishing you all a very happy Kali Puja and Diwali.

I’ve written a lot over the past few years about Kali Puja so I’m not going to go on this year. I also realise I’ve posted the above picture before, but this particular image of Maa has special significance for me. It’s actually a print of the original image of Mother Kali that was worshiped by Sri Sarada Devi the wife and spiritual counterpart of Sri Ramakrishna. The original image is still kept at Udbodhan House, the Holy Mothers residents in Kolkata.

It’s an unusual image of Mother Kali, She has Her left foot forward in this picture, this form is known as Smashan Kali or Kali of the cremation ground. Generally we worship Shyama Kali with the right foot forward, this is the benevolent form of Maa who grants blessings. Smashan Kali however is rarely worshiped, this form of Maa takes everything away, She reveals the impermanence of all things, just like the lessons from the cremation ground.

In His Element.
