She is my mother and I've never felt that kind of love. She will directly impose herself upon you and the result is dramatic but always positive and permanent. You must be strong to deal with her but her return is greater than any other.

Kali is whole in herself.... She is the whole cosmos... I believe the blackhole is the placenta of kali and we are in her womb of universe.... She often appears in my dreams dancing on Warfield..... She being family goddess to us... We are alwys aware of her power and her love towards people..... She is the one who is supreme goddess... Producer and consumer in the end... Couldn't thank her more...

So many claim to know the truth saying this and that is wrong or correct. We all know Sanatana Dharma is not about dogma. There are INFINITE ways to perceive the one truth! And this truth can only be perceived through personal experience. Love Her and be happy! Jai Maa Kaali!

She is soooo powerful, loving and protecting. She can do anything, anything which may seem impossible to us. She protected me from fatal blackmagic. No one was able to cure me but she did. She even transform your bad luck..She is pure energy , consciousness, love, intelligence ….❤️❤️🙏🏻✨

I met Kali Maa.. at first I was scared and in awe of her darkness and she hit me with her red tongue to kill my ego but I wasn't ready and I was scared from what I imagined to be negative energy I'm due to meet her again but this time I cannot wait for she is the my true mother and I love her eternally!

She is the goddess who makes him a god

Wow all these cool stories about Kali. Hinduism is really creative. I'm an atheist but hinduism and buddhism is the best way of life/religion out there.

She is the mother who suffers pain to evoke n liberate her children.. she forgets her self n goes boundless to protect her children untill she is brought to realisation by Shiva but she is also dominating as her foot on Maha kaal also symbolise how the mother beyond times- kaal.... protects her children from stern destruction by liberating their souls from bondage of Ripu- materialism n sins.. standing firm against KAAL..Maha kaal.. the ultimate destruction..

Wonderful history of the Goddess. Kali is so is misunderstood in many parts of the world.

Kali is not just a goddess in statue she is there everywhere is is shakti and if you want her in your life then love her like your mom and there is a certain kind of sadhana to bring her inside you...if you get her love...she will always be with you..she is the mother goddess, the mother nature, she is my loving mother...:) and i have experienced her...yes i did and many many other sadhaks in path of enlightment has to experience her because without her enlightment is not possible. it is her who helps the sadhak to reach to shiva...

To be able to understand this Religion , one need to have an apart room in his house , to keep all the books he wil need .. And then be sure of the right translation.

I Am a westerner and i have opened my heart to my soul so now i can see truth from within. Truth is standalone and cannot be altered. arrogance and ignorance is illusion of EGO. Heart and soul shines the Light of Truth and liberates back into freedom of Being The Love that The Divine Mother Birthed. We are Love!

Maha kali she is so kind, caring, warm, sweet, loving, helpful, she is just awesome 🪔

Kali is the most powerful goddess she is the ultimate reality i bow down in the feet of mother of the universe my sweet goddess kali

I request all westerners to please stop disrespecting our Gods. If you are not able to understand our Culture don't try to make your own interpretation. Please that is a humble request.

This satisfied my long term hunger for knowledge about Kaali.. Thank you so much.

Kali is one of the greatest form of ma paravti, she is fiercer, dangerous, angry minded to kill demons but when it's comes to her devotees she is giving ultimate blessing 😍😍😍 If you want to know about ma kali then you have too know godess paravti who is origin of all things.. there are many forms like 10 mahavidhya (supreme teacher in tantrik), 9 durga forms, also there are 52 shaktipeets in india... So it's basically long history of her... more you study about her more you love her 😊😊 Just don't judge her by looks she is ultimate truth, there are many deep secret within her. Jay ma kali🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for this video. It was good and clarified a lot of things for me about Mother Kali. I will share this to my Shiva group.

interesting, in Jerusalem they've found references to Havaya & Ashira , and they have a vowel niqqudot called Sh'Vh ( Shivah).the vowel dots & lines are said to be the soul & life force of the alefbet.

her voice has me falling in love with her..

To all Hindu people, I don't know who constructed this video. But this is a VERY weird explanation. I hope you all already know that every aspect of manifest energy in this world we term as devi. Like wealth is a devi, knowledge is a devi, creation is a devi and death is also a devi, like that lust is also a devi, anger is also a devi, mukti is a devi, disease is also a devi. etc. And many of the Shiva shakti stories tell us , through stories, how to awaken every chakra, and when kundalini shakti passes through each chakra, the obstacles we may face( asuri prabritty or demon nature) and how to overcome them ( depicted dialectically in howthe goddess slays the demons). And I think every Hindu person knows that, by shiva we mean the supreme unchanging consciousness and shakti is the everchanging reality/nature/ everything manifest. This kali i.e. shakti standing on shiva is only meant to depict that, if we could separate shakti from shiva, which is not possible, as they are only two aspects of the same reality, We will find the perfectly still unchanging consciousness(shiva). Which is the goal of every yogi. That is why it's said that kali will lead us to shiva. See if she removes herself from the yogi's consciosness, then all the struggle of calming your mind etc disappears. This again only means that you raise your consciousness to higher levels through making the mind one pointed through devotion to the goddess or raise your kundalini untill you reach the suppreme consciousness. I know, many people have heard the term "digambar" in many of the chants of shiva. That means having all the Dikas or directions as clothes. This is a dialectical explanation. It denotes someone who has gone above all dualities. If one has the experience that all the universe , all life in it are all a part of them then who do you dress up for? There is no cold or warmth as that is just like the normal temperature of your body in your experience. There is no one to be shy of , cause a realised being feels that every consciosness is part of there consciousness.This doesn't mean that realised people go around naked all the time. But this "digambar" means to indicate a realised being above all dualities and when we make an idol, this attribute is depicted as the deity being naked. Anyone who dose pranayama will know that, having your tongue out, and breathing heavily, is a superficial description of a breathing technique called shitali which is said to give a cooling effect. We know the story where maa Kali, while killing demons looses control over her anger and to stop her, Shive her husband lies down in front of her. She steps on him and sticks out her tongue as an acknowledgement of her mistake and calms down. This story teaches that Maa Kali or kundalini shakti in it's rajasic form is invoked to "slay" the demons of negative thoughts that arise within us. Kali loosing control means and excess of rajasic energy or heat. This can be controlled by remembering the ever still reality that is shiva and plus some pranayam and other techniques. I can give explanations for others too, but it's getting too long. Taking these stories literally, without understanding the context, will result in to these kinds of videos. It's fine that some people are trying to understand our culture, though it doesn't seem like they are getting anywhere, but please don't teach these to your children as explanation of any vedic ideology. If I didn't know how to interpret these stories and heard this explanation first, I would think the sanatan dharma was based on some delusions rather than the experience of yogies and rhishis. So be careful.

Kali Maa was very powerful female worrier ,who could protect devotees that I did believed her.She protected me since i was young. I love her and she came out when I get angry. I have been trying to abstain from anger because I don’t want to see people in danger or death for this reason.

I want to make a subtitle for this video in my native language, Turkish. This way it can get more views, and i want people in my country to be aware of this amazing goddess. Is it open to that? I think youre supposed to give permission from the channel settings.

The part about devouring young children etc is so similar to the story of Lilith. It always astounds me how so much of stories mirror each other. Explains the philosophy of Avatars. Thank you

My recommendations are wild but this was very interesting

The essence of Kaali is the all powerful and all pervading TIME (kaal means time).. She is both Time as well as Timelessness - this is the prime symbolism in our culture. Her representation is, therefore, without attires. Many overlapping narratives and interpretations were formed subsequently. Unfortunately most people/presentations only focus on the physical form.

i think it's an ancient wisdom or knowledge in the form of folklore trying to tell us about the dance of two infinite things in the universe for the process of creations... those two are emptiness (empty space) and energy... emptiness always there even when energy is not generated by the vibration and became visible by emitting visible light and even if someday all the visible lights dies out... i might be wrong but i don't mind

I've had a loving relationship with Goddess Kali since 1998 through automatic writing. She is like a mother to me. Although she has tried to harm me many times when I was younger, I have forgiven her and now she is my personal protectress. She dispatched a former friend who put a death spell on me when I was in my early twenties in 1992. My former friend died of a heroin overdose in 1996. Now I call upon her when I have fears or need guidance and/or protection. I have found my spiritual home in Hinduism.

Kali is the mother of all

The Earth is female...

Maa Kali is The Divine Mother she is Consort of Shiva The Divine Father. She is ALL that is. All come from her heart and everything is patterned on The Divine Mother. Yes most westerners misunderstand the importance of the Holy scriptures of India. All understanding comes from where we are within ourselves. When one knowns the soul of the self truth emerges. Westerners Think They KNOW but in reality they are entrenched in the illusion of Maha Maya! Dharma always wins in the end. Trust The Divine Mother she Loves All!

When I first began to learn about "eastern wisdom" it was so mind expanding for me as an "avowed-disillusioned Christian. I never would have imagined that there are very strong RIGHT WINGED ULTRA ORTHODOX Hindus. But the comments I've read on this post assure me that there most certainly are. Thank God were in America where there is no monopoly on free information. The only way to support the lies of Orthodoxy is through suppression of information. This post is GREAT! What fantastic perspective it offers for he who hath an eye... Peace! And thank you. Namaste.

I am a 40 year old white guy. Left my church after officially joining, with permission of the pastor, I was going to find the truth Jesus was trying to explain before it became twisted into fear. I was 15. I found out about the chakras through a cartoon. Then a book just happened to show up in the bible belt in 2004. Unbelievable, I read this book cover to cover b multiple times, honestly this book made 3 ever to be read cover to cover only once. I was called out by what was referred to as the gate keeper of the heart, Kakini/Bhuvaneshvari. The second name I am to ignorant to try to enunciate this name so I kinda always felt bad, about 2 years ago I was licked in the face by Kali. I had just started a 5/10 minute meditation to center my breathe and mind into my heart before going to work at a job I hated. 2nd breathe in a tongue, no blood licks my face from chin to forehead, my mind says "Kali?" Then 2 huge eyes, and a huge warming smile, like a bear huge to the soul. I swear she's my mother, I only say that from what has transpired since then, especially this past week.

विसृष्टौ सृष्टिरूपा त्वं स्थितिरूपा च पालने । तथा संहृतिरूपान्ते जगतोऽस्य जगन्मये ॥५॥ 5.1: During Creation You are Sristhi-Rupa (of the form of the Creator of this World), during Sustaining You are Sthiti-Rupa (of the form of the Abider within the Creation for Nourishing it), ... 5.2: ... and in like manner, during the End of the World, You assume the form of Samhriti (of the form of Withdrawer of Creation within Yourself); You are thus the Jaganmayi (Who contain the whole World within Herself KALI is the black hole on cosmic level

Kali mata Is giving me Fame , Prosperity, happiness , Peace Talents Skills And Make me Legend ☮️🕊️ 🙏🙏🙏

Shaktism is a part of Hinduism specifically followed by Eastern part of India specifically and glamorously by Bengali Hindus across the globe.

🙏💐❤️.. thank you devdutt pattanaik, for connecting all the pieces of shared knowledge in such logical and wise ways, in these video presentation.. as human, our mind lead such imaginations, and continue to cause confusions throughout the ages.. a balanced domestication of nature, must always honor Mother, for she is Nature.. no man made society rules can bound nature.. otherwise, as we witnessing today, the more frequently occurring, destructive forces she wields.. just weather alone… 🙏🕉❤️💐😊

Kali is an aspect of Durga thus an aspect of the godess/feminine principle. Om Kali, om Mata, Durga Devi Namo Namaha All the best to everyone!

Please don't disrespect any religion... Especially Hinduism... It's so vast you can't summary it negatively

Soooo interesting ! Thank you for making those wonderful informations available, organized and clear !

Aaseevaham is the original pholisophy of India. Hinduism is just a different 'interpretation' of the original. Also Sanskrit is not the oldest language on earth, Tamil is. Namaste ☺

This made me tear up. Jai Devi!

Epic's and Devdutt's high point for me is A) they simplify essence of San'a'tan Dharshan(s) BUT the "gross" low point is B) when you mix chronology with it and worse when you lock down the reasons and causes of chronology too.. Your chronology still comes from Imperialist / Brit / Missionaries narrative - which aimed at 1) twisting the history 2) forced Sanatan to be viewed and weighted from Catholic's distortions of how nature and existence work 3) worst of all create a rift, right down to fundamental blocks, of people panths regions of bharatvarsham

You should refer to her as Ma Kali. With proper respect.

Thank you for posting this video the time of women is on the rise

I am just like the hair of mother goddess. Open and wild and only attached to the roots. I don't follow any rules unless I want or I am bound by my responsibility.

Your research is incomplete. Show some respect for the goddess... And don't call it mythology. Show some damn respect for Hindus. And don't spread hatred in world....

All the descriptions of the goddess given in this video are identical to the description of Inana, the granddaughter of Enlil which is in the Sumerian's clay tablets found.

it would be nice of you to speak of her with respect, address Amman properly and with respect(maa kali, kali amman).thank you

I love it. Thank you,

Incredibly beautiful and interesting. Thanks a lot for this video 😍

Kali=kal=Time=Death

kali always scared the crap out of me but when I was younger I called on her or told a friend I was following her and they all got scared haha

ITS KALI MAA, RESPECT HER. OM SAKTI

Jai Mahakali

Don't educate us about our god n goddess.. Lotsa harm has already been done by Maxmuellere n Makale of Germany.

what nonsense. this is all not true at all!!!! kali devi is very much mentioned in the vedas and she is NOT the same as nirriti. shaakt dharam is vaidik just like vaishnav amd shaiveet dharam. stop this BS forced western distortion of hinduism.

Raktabeej is like Ganon, or Demise. I wonder if Miyamoto drew inspiration from this when involving gods in the series.

But you have never mentioned of the form pathrakali which is the most intense and supreme form of kali. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the clear way you present the information. Can you please just show the references use? Such as the place in the Vedas.

The narration is beautiful.

In Aghora-Tantra Nature is not indifferent to human games (!) but completely involved in it as in a Godhead Lila...

This channel is so awsome. Can't believe I just found it.

LORD SHIVA would incomplete without her SHAKTI

I just fell in love with your series. About to start from the first. Been a Goddess worshiper for awhile, mostly from a western perspective.

I am in love with this channel.

She is my loving kind mother she comforted me in my initiation with her she is so powerful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Satya Shiva is the 1 who makes her the most powerful god for a short span of time to kill evil demons

Jai Maa Kali 🙏🏻🕉🕉🕉🙏🏻

Beautiful! If only they taught like this in the schools.

Thank you so much for the video . Jai man Kali !

Why doesn't the narrator pronounce names without the anglicising them? They're to be pronounced as: Nirreeti, not Nirriti; Graam-dev, not Grama-deva; Puraan, not Purana

Nonsense video which seems obsessed by Kali's tongue. Asuras are in TOTAL control of this present world and humans will soon have no choice than to pray to Kaali for freedom.

Very cool. Hinduism is enjoyable, like the nature element throughout as well

How is it that she appeared to ME????? I love my story of how she did. I first heard about her on a tarot reader that the most high led me to. So I was at least open-minded to her and the first place. And my Creator was asking me to return to sender I was not acquainted with how to do any of that and I wasn't doing very well at it. And then I randomly saw a car tag and I knew instinctly for sure something good was going to happen on 8/16. And even my psychic friend confirmed it to certain degree. And I went to stay at a hotel and he front desk gal I kind of told her what was going on black magic death curses and she said would you like me to read your tarot and I said are you kidding me for free and in person and she whips out a deck titled KALI. !!!!! And that happened on 8/16 gosh she's so clever. And she has come back to me again just recently and I'm so grateful. I just was not aware how important it is to avoid eating meat for as long as she tells you to. Rather until the jobs are down that she signed up for me. She is my caring mother And she communicated to me through another driver's license sign that she was doing the same thing for my precious daughter she says I win for you.

Jai bolo Mahankali matha ki jai..

She’s my Matron diety ✨💫🔥

Random question about the proto-kali at 7:30 , fire for hair (and the style of the hair) and associated with the battlefield - is it just me who wonders if this was part of the inspiration behind the design of SS Goku ..?

Thanks , very informative, much appreciated! Blessed be! Namaste!

Great !! jai Bhavani jai Kali

Devadutta Pattanayak has always been an obsessed man. Infact what can you expect from an economic materialist ? His explanation of texts are more like of a overwhelmed child who finds every bit of what he reads in around his surroundings. So such a thought would mix history in vedas, purana and other holy scripts. Because for such a mentality all is like a comics reading, definitely his life is same for him. There is a big difference between Sindhu culture and Harappan culture. Sindhu culture didn't know vedas but those who formed Harappan civilization had those collection. Vedas were rediscovered in a later period by sages and kings. The sindhu culture was a nature praising culture who remembered a bit of previous civilization and fragments of the manusmriti. Sanatan dharma didn't start with Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. Infact they were broken trails of a much more civilized and well equipped civilization. The devi from south...ha ha ha ha.. Purana clearly states her final avatar was the daughter of Himalayan King. So according to Devadutta, Himalayas must be in dakshina (south). But their is a truth to it, which comes from Ramayan. Well valmiki ramayan is available now and it clearly states the story. Thus dakshina kalika has come into picture. Dirghajivi is not Kali she is basically a dakini more precisely an yakshini and was immortal. Sumitra got the carriage dagger to send her back to devi Nikumbhala. This tension in yagya procedure was a leela to teach about many aspects of life. Why Vedas doesn't tell about this goddesses. Because of the intend of ask of vedas by muni and rishi gan during their yog bramh charcha. Zakir Naiak's statement of abrahamic religious ptocolistic approach of viewing Sanatan dharma does look out for our prime book. But vedas are no prime text of Sanatan dharma. They are the first set of guidances that were received by the holy men, when they were introduced to the devalok the imperial region of Lord Indra only. Sanatan dharma is not a fellowship of printed texts. It's a path of experiential relation with creators and created which includes daities, holy souls, angels and many other natural and supernatural supremes. But the most important is the mode of connectivity and maintainance of corresponding relationship that they have tried, learned and developed over millions of years. Our oldest scripts are Purana, then vedic texts and later the shastra derived by holy saints or prophets. Thanks and regards.

9:27 around 500 CE Tantric literature began to be composed. Unlike the Puranas (which were more concerned with the external world, devotion and pilgrimages,) the Tantras were more interested in the occult, alchemy, and 64 Goddesses: the 3 Tri-Devi, 7 Tri-Ambika, 9 Matrikas, 10 MahaVidya, and 64 Yoginis.

I never ask Her anything, all I can do is thank her for what She gives me, wich is only what I need, not what I always want. I wish I was a better devotee... I feel lazy and unworthy sometimes.

Holy Spirit/Kali/Gaea/Persephone of the Underworld/Ma'at/Isis are all one. Kali is the Mother of God the Father/Vishnu and God the Son, Shiva/Uranus

In tamil name is kottravai,not koravai.

A very pleasant account on Kali. Some people commenting here with hate are literal fools. Ignore them please :)

I think a better way to analyse what Kali means is to look at her name , which is Kali. Kali means emptiness . Kali is the god of death and time . Kala can mean dark , sometimes synonymous with space. Kala also means time . Kali is the female counterpart of Shiva , who is also known as kala bhairava. Shiva is also the god of time. Too much importance is being given to stories and not to the literal meaning of the name "Kali". This reveals much more than the stories. So, Kali represents emptiness which destroys the kala (space and time) making way for the new cycle of the universe. This is similar to the male counterpart where Shiva (kala bhairava) destroys the universe for its recreation Honestly, this video goes into myths but misses the core , which is hidden in the meaning of the name of the goddess. Disappointing ...

Meditate daily in the name of cali ma truth giver

thanks

She is the divine mother and shakti of this universe . Dare not paint ur stupid small mind about the beloved mother . Only a loving and yearning heart is required to reach mother's grace . The way this channel is trying to confine the divine to mere paintings statues and images is more than enough to conclude tht they can nvr understand mother nor can project their little thought of mother on others .

Be careful.. Everyone is free Bur, remember it is not child's play. 🔱Jay Mahakal 🔱

She is my mother. I am her daughter. Ganesha is my brother.

Veda's had Maa Kali long long ago.. A confused video. You need to do more research...

Brilliant presentation! Would it be possible to know the sources of illustrations used in the videos? Thinking about using this to teach my students

Maha Kali has many forms throughout eorns, they represent many different energies .

These are just conclusions drawn from what these ppl understood from various scriptures and representations. Just a disjointed story. You can do some research

People dont understand,a piece of it.its what in People's mind is some People

Lemme tell you that recently it's proved that the Indus valley civilization is minimum 7000 years older than the time mentioned before hence making the Indus valley civilization minimum 9000 years older.Also is recently proved that the Indus valley was much more larger and covered much parts of India.

Thank you, great learning.

kali is beautifukll stop demonizing her
