The love between the Divine Mother and her human children is a unique relationship. Kali, the Dark Mother is one such deity with whom devotees have a very loving and intimate bond, in spite of her fearful appearance. In this relationship, the worshipper becomes a child and Kali assumes the form of the ever-caring mother.
Kali is an incarnation of the mother-goddess Durga, and of Parvati, the Hindu goddess of love and devotion, among other attributes.
Because she is connected with death and destruction, Kali is sometimes depicted as the goddess of death, but that can be a misleading portrayal. She is the destroyer of evil forces, ignorance and sin.
She is also revered as the goddess of time, creation, power and change. The destruction of ignorance, for example, makes way for change that can lead to enlightenment. The ability to create such change gives Kali her power.
As the goddess of death, Kali statue grants liberation from the life-death cycle by destroying the illusion of the ego. Or the individual’s self-centered view of reality. To someone attached to the ego, Kali is a frightening deity, but to an enlightened person, she is viewed as affectionate and loving.
Depicted with a black complexion and naked, symbolizing a transcendental nature and freedom from illusion. Although it seems gruesome, her girdle of severed hands symbolizes liberation from the cycle of karma. Her sword represents destruction of false consciousness. She is pictured with three eyes, signifying time – the past, present and future.
