Hindu Gods - Kali
Kali
Kali is a ferocious form of the Divine Mother, who sent her Shakti, the
Mother Gauri, to free the gods from the dominion of the demonic forces
Shumbh and Nishumbh. Kali is the goddess of time and of the
transformation that is death. Kali also is the Kundalini energy that
paralyses the attachments produced by the solar and lunar currents (both
demons).
The Hindu goddess Kali is the first of the ten Mahavidyas - the others
are Tara, Shodashi, Bhuvaneshwari, Bhairavi, Chinnamasta and Dhumavati,
Matangi, Kamala and Bagla Mukhi. Therefore Kali is also known as Adya,
the firstborn. In the ignorant ones she creates fear, while for others
Kali removes the fear of death.
