Kali, the
divine Protector of Earth, also known as Kalika is
a Hindu goddess . But due to her destructive powers Kali is also
known as “Dark Mother”. The name Kali is
derived from the Sanskrit word “Kala” or time. She, therefore, represents Time,
Change, Power, Creation, Preservation and Destruction. “Kali” also mean “the
black one”, the feminine noun of the Sanskrit adjective Kala.
She is
considered as a ferocious form of Durga/Parvati, who is the consort
of Lord Shiva. Kali Ma is simultaneously portrayed as the giver, the one
who bestows moksha or liberation and destructor, principally of evil
forces. However, in most of the interpretations she is portrayed as ferocious
and evil. She is the mother of the world and the treasure-house of compassion.
She is considered as the primordial mass from which all life arouse.
