Namaste Same happened to me 6 days ago. Since then im into Sanatana Dharma. Now i'm know again how it is to feel happy. This is a Religion of Love. The Religion i was born into (Evangelical) claim to be the same but is a Religion of Fear.
I am black american woman and i have always loved Kali Ma. I cant remember when. I try all different religions and worship styles but i can let go of Kali. She is my only one and I do feel like her daughter. I actually wanted something more "light" and "pretty". I truthfully dont know where to start and I always tried to walk away from her because I did not want to disrespect her nor South Asian traditions. I hope that the path clears. If i have to spend my life in just devotion and respect to her that is enough... I do see that many people still try to use the deities for their personal uses but it should be a love and relationship in my opinion. I am still learning and just listening...
I am an Indian and after hearing your comments i can meke out that this is not ordinary. The one's who feel Kali Maa are special. I would advise you that if possible, once come to India. In the state of West Bengal, there is Kolkata. There's a temple devoted to Kali - Dakshineswar Kali Temple. I assure u, you will be blessed by her.
Try chanting Devi mahatmyam, 1 lesson (don't stop in between a lesson ) per day you can find english online. You can find your life upside down but keep calm and trust her. Use a picture and a ghee lamp for her, if available decorate with flowers in fridays and Tuesday
I have been in love with Mother Kali for over fifty decades. She has been there for me as an intimate for almost all of that time. If you reach out to her with true devotion and yearning like that of a desperate lover, she will come to you and change you. No one, no group owns Divinity! What gibbering nonsense! When she does come, she will change your life like a whirlwind so, you had better be ready for that force to enter into your life. Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa taught us that loving divinity does not mean that you must adopt ritual behaviors, study Sanskrit or even attend pujas. Learn a basic worship style and make a murti for Kali in your heart and keep her in your thoughts. Let the fools debate their dogmas and who is entitled to worship her. If you are sincere, loving and persistent, she will come.
I didn't even know about Kali but had this woman with the tongue sticking out and crazy looking, blue skin came to me. I love her because she came to me when I was very sick. I don't ask her for stuff, I just like her presense. She feel so holy!
Ma Kali is the one and only in my heart. I feel an immense mothering from her. When my childhood traumas in this life surface throughout my adulthood, she is there to allow release / crying and she makes me feel safe while doing this. I was raised to not cry or show much emotion, so I internalize it all. Ma Kali has done for me what many therapist's could not. It is not all releasing of pain either. I feel an immense love from her when I am happy and pure love is everything. When I view her as the begining of it all. I feel almost a humming of the body and I am put at peace within myself and almost like I am one with her and everything. Thank you so much for this video, subscribed.
I am only and can only be love. Wether in defense or affection, I am only love. Shiva protects me. Gifting me discernment this lifetime, I had no idea to beware.
I lost my Mom 22 years back. That deep pain cannot be removed by any human company. I took kriya deeksha in Hariharananda ji tradition. Nothing worked. I now only cry to Divine Mother during loneliness. I feel her internally and relax now!
You are Very fortunate to be so well spoken about these things! I truly loved your comment about 6:30, you say, “You have every right to conceive of the Devine in the way that is most inspiring to you!”. That is a very inspiring comment indeed, and I thank you for sharing your understanding!
I love this. I was mediting one day and Kali came to me just kind of forcefully. I wasn't sure who she was, so I had to look her up, and she's absolutely who I need in my life right now. Especially since I've been fighting demons and anger issues.
Thank you for making this video.When it first came across my feed, I quickly scrolled past. I was scared that it was going to say that if you're not part of the culture, then it's cultural appropriation, or whatever reason that I wasn't allowed to pursue a deeper relationship with her. Ma Kali has been inspiring and comforting to me and when I turned away because I was worried about being respectful, she came and found me. I am learning how to do spirituality without the dogmatic religeon of my childhood and I am so grateful for your enthusiastic encouragement to (baring unsupervised tantra practices) worship/love Kali in whatever way you are called to or feels right. I think it's kind of a sad reflection on the religion I came from that I keep looking for gatekeepers to tell me I"m not allowed. Anyway, thank you again!
I tried to avoid Kali for many years, focusing on Shiva or Ganapati, until she wouldn't disappear and I was forced to sit up and take notice. That's a long story though. When she came into my life I was immediately introduced to someone who taught me sadhana from Kamakhya but it was years before I got diksha and then it was from the Sri Vidya Kula before I got it in the Kali kula and am now, 6 years later, finally learning pooja from the Kamakhya temple lineage. Quite a powerful and intense choice to consciously be a Kali Upasaka but at the same time, it's not really our choice...lol
same i was like ganpati is my god or else shiva while kali ma used to signal me im here for what none coukd do but i used to get scared alot ..i felt i was doing something wrong
Kali, you teach me the wisdom of the fight Breaking senseless rules I forge my right I bask in your darkness, you show me the the light Through battles within and out, you sharpen my sight We blaze through laughing fire, wild, Unchained, unbound, free as a child. With fearless hearts, we charm the night, Dancing with chaos, fierce in the fight. Thank you, diamond in my spine, What looks fierce feels sublime. You’re my maniacal laugh in the worst of the storms, In your wild embrace, I feel safe and warm. I keep a space for you, Kali, near, Not just in need, but always here. I’ll sing to you softly in any of your forms, Even a child, through the wildest storms. Kali Ma, mother mine, You have my heart, my love, divine.
Kali come to me in the lowest time in my life..she come to me through a dream ..I had no clue who she was ..I was in an abusive relationship and after she came my life changed I had strength I never knew I had..and was able to break free..I gave my soul to her as a sign of thanks..she definitely is the mother figure who set me free from a monster ..thank you for this ..
Thank you so much!!! As a woman that was born into Christianity and raised in a prejudiced area of the U.S. I have been struggling recently with openly practicing my devotion to Maa Kali. I have been practicing Hinduism for around 20 years, but only within myself. Never any outward sign. But as I get older, I will be turning 60 next month, I find it more and more important that I don't hide my devotion to the divine feminine. I have been afraid that wearing a simple bindi or having mendhi work done would be frowned upon by the Indian/Hindu community. I have avoided going to a temple out of fear that I might not be welcome. But through what you have said here and what others I have recently found have said, I am now comfortable. I wear a simple bindi to remind me to keep Maa Kali, Maa Lakshim, and Maa Durga in my thoughts throughout the day, and to strengthen my devotion to them. I have no interest in Tantrik practices, but Bhakti practice on the other hand suits me extremely well. Once again, thank you, my friend. You have helped me today more than you can know.
We Hindus (the more knowledgeable )believe that once upon a time , whole earth is bharath ( india) , and we happened to preserve it while rest of them forget their roots with time, so even the core believers will be happy to see when someone reconnects to their divine mother and father, So when it comes to general hindus, they will be happy to see just another hindu no matter the race So I don't find any reason for your fears
I’m on the most bizarre spiritual path, raised Catholic, with emphasis on the liberating / charitable side of Jesus, deep reverence for Mary and the Saints… to atheism/agnosticism, to Hellenistic Pantheism, to deep affection for Shaktism, Durga and Kali in particular. Your description of family, regional, national, and personal deities reminds me of the Catholic concept of Patron Saints.
I went a very similar path to yours, it's curious that you traversed Hellenistic pantheism, in my case I have theological beliefs inspired by Kabbalistic, Shaivistic and Neoplatonic panentheism, yet I feel very inclined to a "pagan" praxis (Dionysus), or bhakti (Shiva, and Kali in particular). It's nice to see a similar pattern!
Same ❤ my relationship with her came with my undoing of my own dogma. I pray the rosary to Kali now. My discipline with prayer continues just in a very different way.
she came to me after I went through the most dark time in my life. Reminded me I'm powerful. I didn't know who she was but there was this time where almost all i saw on all my social medias was kali. mind you I've never heard of her prior to this but i was enthralled by her intimidating yet beautiful appearance. I assumed since I'm white i prob shouldn't approach her but recently I've been seeing her in my dreams. now im seriously considering following her. this video helped alot, thank you.
I came drawn to ma kali from a Sikh prayer "chandi di vaar" and never knew chandi was kali until I saw this video. Now it makes sense how I ended up visiting a kali mandir last year and became drawn to her. I did it with no intention but she has protected me with fierce devotion 🙏🏼 ❤
Chandi is Kali but Chandi is not Kali. Like you and I are one, but you and I are two. Kali and Chandi are divine, so they are more aware that they are one. But there are no two words that are exact synonims.
Thank you. I'm an American white guy who embraces some Indian spiritual traditions. Sometimes, I struggle with feeling like an imposter. I appreciate you helping me feel vaildated.
I dont want anything from Maa. I just want to be as close to her as possible. I love her immensely, indefinitely and infinitely. I just want her presence around me. I want her to visit me in my dreams. And i want to visit as many temples dedicated to Maa as possible. I want too constantly remember her and her glories, her selfless love for me and her children, and her undefeatable and undeterring mercy that she bestows upon me. Jai Maa Kali
Kali Maa came to me in mediation I had to come do some research on her because I have no knowledge but when she came to me I was going through so much evil eye she showed up for me & now I want to devote my spiritual practice to her…
I love ShivJi and Ganapathī. But Kalī stole my heart the most. She's so protective, and loving. Also, thank you for talking about why it is not a good idea to do any sort of worship of an aspect of God without diksha. When I started practicing Sanatana Dharma in 2021, I made the stupid mistake of worshipping Kalī pretty intensely for three evenings. On the 3rd evening, I like I was struck by lightning. And I literally went mad. Other things transpired, and the only reason I didn't end up in a psychiatric hospital or worse was because of Divine Mother's Grace. Thank you ji, for an informative video. May Divine Mother's Grace bless and keep you always. Jai Kali Ma!
Maa Kali passed a message for me in lightworking cards. Came up at the beginning and at the end. I did a meditation for maa kali and I saw her outline. I felt the vibrations shooting up my leg and hip. Jolting my body... xx I'm just starting and learning 😌
Not much to learn. All energy is trust. I can't understand what it is like not to be connected to the Divine. But I pray your soul well hereafter if that is meant for you.
Ma Kali is beautiful to me, fierce. Her ferocity is inspiring and I've never seen any divine image that makes me feel so deep. I wold love to learn more about Diksha (sorry if that's not spelled right)
Thank you this was so helpful. I am grieving the loss of my earthly mother and Kali Ma came in a tarot reading and I was intrigued by her. Thank you for the insights. You are a great teacher.
this is so fascinating, thank you! i think a lot of people get confused about open practices vs. closed practices. while i'm personally agnostic, i love learning about other cultures and religions, and you explained this so well! love your energy :)
Kali ma reached out to me, she told me she wanted me to work with her. I pray to her everyday and leave her offerings everyday. Only good has come to me
I've never studied about Indian gods. I'm here today because while I was in meditation I saw myself in the form of what I learned was kali. It's interesting what I've learn about her so far. Kali seems in general to represent a big part of the religion I practice.
Before I was feeling attraction to Ananda Mai Ma and later I found that I was feeling Kali from her. For me they are the same. I feel deep relaxiation and also fear when I see Kali in the pictures. I feel deep energy aweking in me and I just love to surrender. Yesterday I was looking at how I can worship to Kali and There was a text saying you can just say Om Kali Om Kali as a mantra. Also I found this video, you explain better than other videos. Thank you.
I have been following the Shaivite path in my Sanatana Dharma for a while now and suddenly last month I became obsessed with Ma Kali. She has taken over everything even my alter😂😂 but I love it, I meditate on her every day. This video came to me in perfect time as I was about to start looking into Tantric practices but I will stick to Bhakti as I live where there is ZERO gurus. With respect and love for Ma Kali I will stay away from tantra. Jai Kali Ma🎉
I have never been one to worship any form of the divine whatsoever. But Kali Ma came into my life one day & I can't help but feel deeply connected to her as if she is my own mother.
Thank you so much for your wisdom! I am in a very different practice, but my dieties led me to your video in order for a very wise teacher I am working with in my practice to be able to use your words in my journey and to give me some information in regards to questions I had about Kali and this belief system in general. In this video, you perfectly embody the compassion for others and the wisdom he is said to have had due to much diligent study. I have an immense deal of respect for him due to these things and that respect is something that I hope you often find others offer you as well, in your own community. I can see that you're very favored by the divine and I appreciate the time youve taken to build your knowledge and platform so that I could get this lesson. I am so happy to have been able to learn from someone so enlightened and I hope that your content continues to stay very relevant to my journey. Thank you again and blessed be! 💕🍷
Hahah this is amazing thank you:) its synchronous i found your channel today:). I'm Bengali at birth and my house was heavily matriachal with a huge photo of Kali and Ramakrishna hahah..now i live in London, practciing Tantra and Shaivism for 2 years and i am obviously drawn to both...but have been connecting and receiving Shivas Grace much more lately and a part of me almost felt oh no Kali come on you gotta catch up i cant betray my childhood haha..and quickly caught my thoughts and reassured myself saying its all Divine, and maybe at this time i am more in need of the Awareness and Consciousness rather than Energy
I didn't search for Kali or Shiva. They found me and saved me from the hell I was in. I've been getting to know them more deeply ever since... In fact, I need to pause the video so I can go be with them right now. I'll finish the video later. Thank You.
Just discovered your channel and I really love how you present things, explain them, love listeninf to you and your energy. Thank you for all this work you put up and for sharing this with us. Lots of love from France.
YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL SOUL AND IT IS SO APPARENT. I have been studying Kali and Yama, Death is a door and I have found its key holders fascinating. They seem to have moved something in me and not just them I have been studying Hei Bai Wuchang and Santa muerte. Just to say it, I love life and living. Thanks for the information.
My child asked to see a tarot card of kali where she is riding on a horse, then pulled out the sun card. She then said we were her daughters. So, renewing my devotion :)
I think the kind of temper I have,kaali ma is the only one who matches my frequency perfectly .Before her I never prayed to any specific god because I didn’t feel any connection with the gentle forms of deities. She understands my aggression and my pain.She came to me when I was so angry at everything that I felt my body cells are going to burst into flames because of hurt betrayal and anger.She held my hand and I cried my heart out to her.At that moment I knew she is my deity.I like the fierce form of deities. I pray to Kaali and Kaal Bhairav.They both are strong and fierce.It’s like praying to a power couple.
I have just started. I was initiated by my gurudev with the mantra of Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. I am deeply attracted to Maa Kali. I do my Japa as instructed. I am facing a lot of troubles in my life, in my career, and health prospects. I feel Maa is taking a very difficult examination of mine, I listen to Dakshina Kali's stotro every day. But there is no one to help me in the tantra journey of Maa Kali. My guru told me to read scriptures, but Sanskrit again is an issue. I don't know, I am lost. All I do is my Japa seriously, I bow down at Kali temples, I feel I am very early at my spiritual journey which can take many lifetimes.
Very helpful insight, esp as one who is not from India or raised in hinduism. I became heavily involved with ISKCON last year and deeply connected with Bhakti and fell in love with the stories and texts of hindism - but ultimately fell away from their limited way of doing things. Still trying to integrate everything I learned in a more holistic way after leaving and this video is really helping with that. Thank you!
limited way of doing things like? hinduism has various sects. The shortcut and serious one to reach enlightenment is tantric way or worshipping shakti, but need to be done under a true guru else things can go wrong
@Jillian.Dreams ISKCON is a Krishna consciousness group they don't teach whole Hinduism. And this men is a Shakta who worship the Divine Goddess 🙂 in Hinduism every kind of person is accepted didn't matter it's a men,women or trans every person can see Divine within themselves or in others too❤
I’m a white American from Oklahoma. I’ve been doing meditation retreats for the past year and doing meditation for almost 3 years daily I just left a retreat where I had a moment where there was an Energy that was moving my body and my head like a snake. I was also being made to make hand gestures that I did not understand. I also was noticing that this movement of energy energy within my head was writing something out that I did not understand like a long sentence. Use my face as it was drawing the words with my nose. I was talking to someone at the retreat about what was happening to me. I was talking to them. I said I wonder what this is. And then I heard the word Kali. I’ve heard of this word, but I looked it up. There’s no doubt about it. That is what I’m directly experiencing. I have no understanding at all of Kali. Yet I’m having a direct experience with it. I also understand it’s just an aspect of the divine. I understand why I’m connected to it. it’s not because I knew of it, read about it, studied it. What I realize now is I committed years ago to understanding the true essence of nurture. I studied it. I’ve learned what it’s not and right before I had the experience with this energy I solved a piece of the puzzle of what nurture is not that I have worked for 49 years. it says if I became it because I understand it without worship
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I’ve been curious about this aspect of religion and you did a great job of explaining while at the same time being open minded.
Kali has repeatedly come into my life over and over again. I am American Sri Lankan Tamil Hindu. I feel strange as her worship is not popular in my family or in my village in Sri Lanka. My mother died when I was very young, so I feel very connected to Maa Kali. The commodification of her image is something I am very uncomfortable with, as I feel Americans romanticize or do not fully understand her true force and treat her as an “energy” instead of a Goddess. I have seen signs to worship her actively, and this video has been very helpful. Thank you, Nish.
I love Kali with all my heart but my interactions in forms of worship with her have been very..... Raw! She truly is Terrifically Loving and Powerful and it took me over a decade to heal transform and evolve past them!!!!!!🌺👹👑
Namaste. I love your energy and wisdom as well as knowledge on this. It is truly refreshing and invigorating to have someone explain this in a concise and yet profound manner. Syabas!!!
Maa Kali reached out to me today, although I've known of her. I felt I was not ready previously, and now my intuition tells me that I have spiritual work to do. The time is now.
I am an American woman who identifies as Wiccan, I recently had a very powerful experience with Kali-Maa. My religion is very neo-peganism new age and teaches us a bit about every religion. My main Goddess matron is The Morrigan Irish goddess of war, sovereignty, fate. There's some magic and fertility aspects to her as well. Anyway I inherited some of her abilities spiritually so whenever I get emotional I can get destructive and even bloodthirsty. This show on the physical world but more when I'm astral traveling or on spiritual plane. I've also had trouble with balancing my light, Devine energy my higher self with my dual nature. I have also known much pain in life. Despite this I have the ability to communicate with the divine in many diff forms. Recently I had a past life regression triggered and it had a snowball effect of me getting rid of karmic debt as I'm told I'm about to ascend after this life, my spirit being 1000 years old. I started seeing a lot of snakes and sun symbols one of which my mother goddess used on me a while back but did not look Celtic and have been trying to find the source. I have seen Kali, but for a while have tried my HARDEST to avoid her, even frightened of Kali. But she has been near me these past few days. I finally let her in because I got tired of seeing her CONSTANTLY. Um she seems to be focusing on my bloody aspect I try hard to hide, saying that "I see a darkness in you that not even your mother can contain" "you cannot spiritually ascend if you deny this part of you" Kali.. energy is... How do I say even more firey then that of The Morrigan or Hekate of Greek pantheon? I've been wired for days!🥺 Feeling the insanity aspect of myself too, (the kind that laughs uncontrollably, the bloodthirsty aspect) Kali activated all 7 of my chakras especially around the heart. Been feeling with unresolved grief from a death in my family. I did smell rot or fire during this time that wasn't explainable. Right before she showed up I was dealing with energy from a karmic connection and started imitating her in spirit without realizing it? Felt very fiery, like holding an unknown head, and randomly sticking my tongue out, which felt like it was burning. My goddess The Morrigan had even admitted to "calling in Kali to help deal with you" I don't think I'm meant to be a worshipper but it does feel like there is a collaboration between my goddess and Kali behind the scenes? But why is she here? I've gone through many death cycles with my goddess a few with Hekate but now Kali seems to be... The big guns? The final boss 😅 help please, I know nothing. Kali seems like she wants to stay. Despite my being owned by diety A, is she here as a new teacher? What can I do to respect Kali without angering my mother goddess I have sworn to? I am so confused! Google doesn't help at all. All I know is; I NEED to know more, need to learn what Kali-Maa has to teach, I want to run from her, and yet I am pulled, I feel like I'm going crazy.
Ma Kali came to me since I was a kid, I was having rough times as a kid and I remember drawing a women with three boobs, then again Ma Kali appeared to me during rough times on my 20, she been teaching me a lot, and helping me destroy my ego
Thank you for the video, Recently I suddenly fall in love with my Ma kali, whenever I see her devolational song with images, I feel like crying out of devotion, I hardly use to pray any god but I always knew I more incline to femanine enegry or devi but didnt knew which one, so I was looking and finding about different goddess , somehow I feel so much incline to Ma Kali, I feel yearing to connect with her but didnt know what to do as I read on google, some say you can and some say you cannot but I am clear now :) Thanks alot!
❤thank you so much for explaining this. I adore her. i don't preform any rituals. I just talk to her in my heart. I'm not even Indian, but she's the only god that i truly feel that I can relate to. And it's not her energy that I want or anything like that. I just hope and pray that she can hear me. It's like I want her to know me---Not to take anything from her. It's more like I want to give myself to her. I know this will probably sound crazy, but it's like a sort of heart-ache that I feel, like I love her so much I want her to devour me, just so I can be a part of her. Yeah, I'm definitely crazy. But I can't help it. Thanks again ✌️
Thank you so much for sharing this information it has helped me alot. I have a calling for Kali and didn't know how to go about it. I now know it's ok to approach her. Thank you sir
This was amazingly helpful! Thank you so much for your insight, light, humour and wisdom 🙏🏾 Could you please elaborate on what Bhakti practices are for Kali? What exact devotion would be safe for someone who knows very little about the differences between Bhakti and the rituals that would require initiation 🙌🏾
Oh my gawd. I started out doing everything I wasn't supposed to. I was attracted to her because I needed my ego to be put to rest. She has brought much inner transformation for me. The taming of my temper, for one. jai ma Kali, har har mahadev.
I don't want to misappropriate or anything she presented herself to me I had no idea what her who she was until he started working with plant medicine and I did some primal screaming. Since then when I start connecting with her I can really tap into my righteous rage it's a really intense feeling my face gets really flush I become fearless.... Also very aggressive. She told me though that it might be a little too intense for everyday life and to begin connecting and communing with Durga especially on some big picture mission projects that will help a lot of women and just people in general. When Kalis energy gets a little too much And if I can't stop chant to Shiva Om namah shivaya. However I am new to this I hope that I'm doing these things right and that they're happy.
I’ve always been very drawn to chinnamasta, dhumavati but everyone says not to worship kali but I haven’t found any mother deity I feel more love for and genuine pull
Kali is fine to worship Idk if you should approach chinnamasta and dhumavati as a tantric sadhana . But following Bhakti you can worship any form of the goddess. You can worship Tara, Bhuvaneshvari etc.
I ain't afraid of no mac and cheese! Very informative talk; food for much thought. Commoditization of the deity huh? I like that. Well said. You said a lot of things that were well said.
I have been guided and protected all my life by MAA Durga. I was doing HER bhakti all my life, but since 2018 I felt a strong pull to MAA KALI. My brother gave me a warning, that you should not do HER bhakti, because you won 't be able to handle it. SHE is very powerfull. It is like in you have wires in your house for electricity with 220 volt . And you put 50.000 volt through it, all the wires will be burned instantaneously. He said , it is the same with MAA KALI. At first I threw away all her pictures in the river and stopped HER bhakti. But later I thought , SHE is guiding and protecting me more than 60 years now, how on earth, I won't be able to handle HER energy. So , I started again, and trying to have some kind of conversation with HER. Next week I will be finishing a japa for this. I am connecting daily with HER now, which I can see on my heartbeat. SHE is the most compassionate Mother you will find in the Universe. I have felt HER love since the age of 16 . SHE has never ever forsaken me, even I was stopped doing HER bhakti. after my initiation to the Vaisnava sampradaya by my Guru.
Hi Nish, I am so grateful to have come across your videos. Your in-depth understanding of Bhakti has blown me away! Is there a way to get involved in the live lectures? Jai Jai!
"Cool belly, cool mind, act normal" is maybe the best advice I could possibly receive right now
Ma Kali saved my life. She was there for me when I was truly in a corner, nearly helpless.
🖤
This is exactly where to find her ❤
Namaste
Same happened to me 6 days ago. Since then im into Sanatana Dharma. Now i'm know again how it is to feel happy. This is a Religion of Love. The Religion i was born into (Evangelical) claim to be the same but is a Religion of Fear.
That proves there is no restrictions and no hurt on worshipping kali
Ma Kali is the divine mother of my soul. She has protected me from my agressors and supressors and today from a conceited narcissist 🕉
True! Me too felt protection
I am black american woman and i have always loved Kali Ma. I cant remember when. I try all different religions and worship styles but i can let go of Kali. She is my only one and I do feel like her daughter. I actually wanted something more "light" and "pretty". I truthfully dont know where to start and I always tried to walk away from her because I did not want to disrespect her nor South Asian traditions. I hope that the path clears. If i have to spend my life in just devotion and respect to her that is enough... I do see that many people still try to use the deities for their personal uses but it should be a love and relationship in my opinion. I am still learning and just listening...
Same I’m a African American and I love her too
🖤👑🖤👑🖤👑🖤👑🖤👑
Not to worry. If you haven't gone crazy or been killed. Your energy is permissed.
Speaking from experience.
I am an Indian and after hearing your comments i can meke out that this is not ordinary. The one's who feel Kali Maa are special. I would advise you that if possible, once come to India. In the state of West Bengal, there is Kolkata. There's a temple devoted to Kali - Dakshineswar Kali Temple. I assure u, you will be blessed by her.
Try chanting Devi mahatmyam, 1 lesson (don't stop in between a lesson ) per day you can find english online. You can find your life upside down but keep calm and trust her. Use a picture and a ghee lamp for her, if available decorate with flowers in fridays and Tuesday
I have been in love with Mother Kali for over fifty decades. She has been there for me as an intimate for almost all of that time. If you reach out to her with true devotion and yearning like that of a desperate lover, she will come to you and change you. No one, no group owns Divinity! What gibbering nonsense! When she does come, she will change your life like a whirlwind so, you had better be ready for that force to enter into your life. Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa taught us that loving divinity does not mean that you must adopt ritual behaviors, study Sanskrit or even attend pujas. Learn a basic worship style and make a murti for Kali in your heart and keep her in your thoughts. Let the fools debate their dogmas and who is entitled to worship her. If you are sincere, loving and persistent, she will come.
Your Energy is Contagious!
I didn't even know about Kali but had this woman with the tongue sticking out and crazy looking, blue skin came to me. I love her because she came to me when I was very sick. I don't ask her for stuff, I just like her presense. She feel so holy!
You are on the right track.
Me too....Kali called me
Ma Kali is the one and only in my heart. I feel an immense mothering from her. When my childhood traumas in this life surface throughout my adulthood, she is there to allow release / crying and she makes me feel safe while doing this. I was raised to not cry or show much emotion, so I internalize it all. Ma Kali has done for me what many therapist's could not. It is not all releasing of pain either. I feel an immense love from her when I am happy and pure love is everything. When I view her as the begining of it all. I feel almost a humming of the body and I am put at peace within myself and almost like I am one with her and everything. Thank you so much for this video, subscribed.
Wow, it's like I wrote this instead of you. She is in my heart, so much love-and I weep. I love her so much and am forever devoted to her.
Wow! That's so powerful! You have great Bhakti for Ma Kali. Stay with it 🪷🕉
I love her she is a great mother
I am only and can only be love. Wether in defense or affection, I am only love. Shiva protects me. Gifting me discernment this lifetime, I had no idea to beware.
I lost my Mom 22 years back. That deep pain cannot be removed by any human company. I took kriya deeksha in Hariharananda ji tradition. Nothing worked. I now only cry to Divine Mother during loneliness. I feel her internally and relax now!
You are Very fortunate to be so well spoken about these things! I truly loved your comment about 6:30, you say, “You have every right to conceive of the Devine in the way that is most inspiring to you!”. That is a very inspiring comment indeed, and I thank you for sharing your understanding!
Albino u miss me
I love this. I was mediting one day and Kali came to me just kind of forcefully. I wasn't sure who she was, so I had to look her up, and she's absolutely who I need in my life right now. Especially since I've been fighting demons and anger issues.
Thank you for making this video.When it first came across my feed, I quickly scrolled past. I was scared that it was going to say that if you're not part of the culture, then it's cultural appropriation, or whatever reason that I wasn't allowed to pursue a deeper relationship with her. Ma Kali has been inspiring and comforting to me and when I turned away because I was worried about being respectful, she came and found me. I am learning how to do spirituality without the dogmatic religeon of my childhood and I am so grateful for your enthusiastic encouragement to (baring unsupervised tantra practices) worship/love Kali in whatever way you are called to or feels right. I think it's kind of a sad reflection on the religion I came from that I keep looking for gatekeepers to tell me I"m not allowed. Anyway, thank you again!
Maa kali is my everything ❤
Love from india
Ma Kali is for everyone to worship it up to her to call who ever she likes , make that clear
I thought the exact same thing when I saw this… She’s the boss not any rule is above her period
Yup.
I tried to avoid Kali for many years, focusing on Shiva or Ganapati, until she wouldn't disappear and I was forced to sit up and take notice. That's a long story though. When she came into my life I was immediately introduced to someone who taught me sadhana from Kamakhya but it was years before I got diksha and then it was from the Sri Vidya Kula before I got it in the Kali kula and am now, 6 years later, finally learning pooja from the Kamakhya temple lineage. Quite a powerful and intense choice to consciously be a Kali Upasaka but at the same time, it's not really our choice...lol
I used to avoid her and focused on Durga instead
Hmmm... hello. We are all family. You don't get the husband without the pets, His wife or children. One home. Same energy.
same i was like ganpati is my god or else shiva while kali ma used to signal me im here for what none coukd do but i used to get scared alot ..i felt i was doing something wrong
What does upasaka mean?
@@bezoticallyyours83 a person doing Upasana of certain deity, Upasana being a tanttik sadhana given by their guru...
Kali, you teach me the wisdom of the fight
Breaking senseless rules I forge my right
I bask in your darkness, you show me the the light
Through battles within and out, you sharpen my sight
We blaze through laughing fire, wild,
Unchained, unbound, free as a child.
With fearless hearts, we charm the night,
Dancing with chaos, fierce in the fight.
Thank you, diamond in my spine,
What looks fierce feels sublime.
You’re my maniacal laugh in the worst of the storms,
In your wild embrace, I feel safe and warm.
I keep a space for you, Kali, near,
Not just in need, but always here.
I’ll sing to you softly in any of your forms,
Even a child, through the wildest storms.
Kali Ma, mother mine,
You have my heart, my love, divine.
Kali come to me in the lowest time in my life..she come to me through a dream ..I had no clue who she was ..I was in an abusive relationship and after she came my life changed I had strength I never knew I had..and was able to break free..I gave my soul to her as a sign of thanks..she definitely is the mother figure who set me free from a monster ..thank you for this ..
Thank you so much!!! As a woman that was born into Christianity and raised in a prejudiced area of the U.S. I have been struggling recently with openly practicing my devotion to Maa Kali. I have been practicing Hinduism for around 20 years, but only within myself. Never any outward sign. But as I get older, I will be turning 60 next month, I find it more and more important that I don't hide my devotion to the divine feminine. I have been afraid that wearing a simple bindi or having mendhi work done would be frowned upon by the Indian/Hindu community. I have avoided going to a temple out of fear that I might not be welcome. But through what you have said here and what others I have recently found have said, I am now comfortable. I wear a simple bindi to remind me to keep Maa Kali, Maa Lakshim, and Maa Durga in my thoughts throughout the day, and to strengthen my devotion to them. I have no interest in Tantrik practices, but Bhakti practice on the other hand suits me extremely well. Once again, thank you, my friend. You have helped me today more than you can know.
We Hindus (the more knowledgeable )believe that once upon a time , whole earth is bharath ( india) , and we happened to preserve it while rest of them forget their roots with time, so even the core believers will be happy to see when someone reconnects to their divine mother and father,
So when it comes to general hindus, they will be happy to see just another hindu no matter the race
So I don't find any reason for your fears
@@anime-rn7xn Thank you so very much.
Why would the Indian community frown upon you and not allow you in the temple? Don't ever think this way.
I don't think you should worry about your reception in the community because the majority will be happy to welcome you
I’m on the most bizarre spiritual path, raised Catholic, with emphasis on the liberating / charitable side of Jesus, deep reverence for Mary and the Saints… to atheism/agnosticism, to Hellenistic Pantheism, to deep affection for Shaktism, Durga and Kali in particular. Your description of family, regional, national, and personal deities reminds me of the Catholic concept of Patron Saints.
I went a very similar path to yours, it's curious that you traversed Hellenistic pantheism, in my case I have theological beliefs inspired by Kabbalistic, Shaivistic and Neoplatonic panentheism, yet I feel very inclined to a "pagan" praxis (Dionysus), or bhakti (Shiva, and Kali in particular). It's nice to see a similar pattern!
Me too friend
I fell in love with Kali Ma even I'm a Roman Catholic!
Yeah me too...
Ex Catholic Kali Devotee
Same ❤ my relationship with her came with my undoing of my own dogma. I pray the rosary to Kali now. My discipline with prayer continues just in a very different way.
@@sarahg6325what to pray ? Any kali mantra ?
The goth Catholic art to Kali art pipeline 😂
I really appreciate you sharing your experience and story. I am loving this lesson you’re sharing. Thank you truly
You posted this video 8 days ago. Some how, I can’t explain. This came to me. Much needed 🙏🏾
she came to me after I went through the most dark time in my life. Reminded me I'm powerful. I didn't know who she was but there was this time where almost all i saw on all my social medias was kali. mind you I've never heard of her prior to this but i was enthralled by her intimidating yet beautiful appearance. I assumed since I'm white i prob shouldn't approach her but recently I've been seeing her in my dreams. now im seriously considering following her. this video helped alot, thank you.
You look so happy educating others ❤🙏
I periodically come across your content on TH-cam and Spotify and I always feel re-inspired to connect with the Divine. Thank you.
I came drawn to ma kali from a Sikh prayer "chandi di vaar" and never knew chandi was kali until I saw this video. Now it makes sense how I ended up visiting a kali mandir last year and became drawn to her. I did it with no intention but she has protected me with fierce devotion 🙏🏼 ❤
Chandi is Kali but Chandi is not Kali. Like you and I are one, but you and I are two. Kali and Chandi are divine, so they are more aware that they are one. But there are no two words that are exact synonims.
Thank you. I'm an American white guy who embraces some Indian spiritual traditions. Sometimes, I struggle with feeling like an imposter. I appreciate you helping me feel vaildated.
When Ma Kali wants you to worship, she will let you know. And you do not have a choice.
I dont want anything from Maa. I just want to be as close to her as possible. I love her immensely, indefinitely and infinitely. I just want her presence around me. I want her to visit me in my dreams. And i want to visit as many temples dedicated to Maa as possible. I want too constantly remember her and her glories, her selfless love for me and her children, and her undefeatable and undeterring mercy that she bestows upon me. Jai Maa Kali
Bakti yoga.
@@milascave2 ❤️
Kali Maa came to me in mediation I had to come do some research on her because I have no knowledge but when she came to me I was going through so much evil eye she showed up for me & now I want to devote my spiritual practice to her…
I love ShivJi and Ganapathī. But Kalī stole my heart the most. She's so protective, and loving. Also, thank you for talking about why it is not a good idea to do any sort of worship of an aspect of God without diksha. When I started practicing Sanatana Dharma in 2021, I made the stupid mistake of worshipping Kalī pretty intensely for three evenings. On the 3rd evening, I like I was struck by lightning. And I literally went mad. Other things transpired, and the only reason I didn't end up in a psychiatric hospital or worse was because of Divine Mother's Grace. Thank you ji, for an informative video. May Divine Mother's Grace bless and keep you always. Jai Kali Ma!
Bhakti is worship, the point of the video is that performing puja or yajna without diksha is inadvisable, but that bhakti can be done by anybody
I love how excited you are when talking about the Divine! It’s infectious! Thank you so much! I’m definitely subscribing!
You ooze such a great positive energy:-)))
😊
Do you feel it dear.? 😊
Maa Kali passed a message for me in lightworking cards. Came up at the beginning and at the end.
I did a meditation for maa kali and I saw her outline. I felt the vibrations shooting up my leg and hip. Jolting my body... xx
I'm just starting and learning 😌
Offer her a red hibiscus 🌺 flower everyday and see the magic..
Not much to learn. All energy is trust. I can't understand what it is like not to be connected to the Divine. But I pray your soul well hereafter if that is meant for you.
i could listen to you talk forever. so educated and able to communicate
Very exciting. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate you telling us about the two depths of worship. Namaste 🙏🏿 Ahimsa
Ma Kali is beautiful to me, fierce. Her ferocity is inspiring and I've never seen any divine image that makes me feel so deep. I wold love to learn more about Diksha (sorry if that's not spelled right)
Thank you this was so helpful. I am grieving the loss of my earthly mother and Kali Ma came in a tarot reading and I was intrigued by her. Thank you for the insights. You are a great teacher.
Thank you for this video! You were entertaining and informative at the same time. You have a gift when it comes to sharing the divine.
this is so fascinating, thank you! i think a lot of people get confused about open practices vs. closed practices. while i'm personally agnostic, i love learning about other cultures and religions, and you explained this so well! love your energy :)
Your light is so bright. I was having a terrible day. Thank you!
I can feel the energies drawing me to Ma Kali.
Kali ma reached out to me, she told me she wanted me to work with her. I pray to her everyday and leave her offerings everyday. Only good has come to me
I've never studied about Indian gods. I'm here today because while I was in meditation I saw myself in the form of what I learned was kali. It's interesting what I've learn about her so far. Kali seems in general to represent a big part of the religion I practice.
I’ve always been in love with maa Kali, maa Durga Devi ever since I was a kid. Currently I worship and do abhishekam to both shiva and Kali maa.
Before I was feeling attraction to Ananda Mai Ma and later I found that I was feeling Kali from her. For me they are the same. I feel deep relaxiation and also fear when I see Kali in the pictures. I feel deep energy aweking in me and I just love to surrender. Yesterday I was looking at how I can worship to Kali and There was a text saying you can just say Om Kali Om Kali as a mantra. Also I found this video, you explain better than other videos. Thank you.
I have been following the Shaivite path in my Sanatana Dharma for a while now and suddenly last month I became obsessed with Ma Kali.
She has taken over everything even my alter😂😂 but I love it, I meditate on her every day. This video came to me in perfect time as I was about to start looking into Tantric practices but I will stick to Bhakti as I live where there is ZERO gurus. With respect and love for Ma Kali I will stay away from tantra.
Jai Kali Ma🎉
She is the divine mother ❤
Being connected to her feels like heaven
Ultimately we all have to merge
in the same formless or consciousnes energy
Remarkable use of personal experience to illustrate your wholesome points!
Yessss to customizeing your devotion. Gratitude for this .
I have never been one to worship any form of the divine whatsoever. But Kali Ma came into my life one day & I can't help but feel deeply connected to her as if she is my own mother.
Thank you so much for your wisdom! I am in a very different practice, but my dieties led me to your video in order for a very wise teacher I am working with in my practice to be able to use your words in my journey and to give me some information in regards to questions I had about Kali and this belief system in general. In this video, you perfectly embody the compassion for others and the wisdom he is said to have had due to much diligent study. I have an immense deal of respect for him due to these things and that respect is something that I hope you often find others offer you as well, in your own community.
I can see that you're very favored by the divine and I appreciate the time youve taken to build your knowledge and platform so that I could get this lesson. I am so happy to have been able to learn from someone so enlightened and I hope that your content continues to stay very relevant to my journey. Thank you again and blessed be! 💕🍷
This was a beautiful way to include everyone... who's ready. Thank you 🙏
Hahah this is amazing thank you:) its synchronous i found your channel today:). I'm Bengali at birth and my house was heavily matriachal with a huge photo of Kali and Ramakrishna hahah..now i live in London, practciing Tantra and Shaivism for 2 years and i am obviously drawn to both...but have been connecting and receiving Shivas Grace much more lately and a part of me almost felt oh no Kali come on you gotta catch up i cant betray my childhood haha..and quickly caught my thoughts and reassured myself saying its all Divine, and maybe at this time i am more in need of the Awareness and Consciousness rather than Energy
I didn't search for Kali or Shiva. They found me and saved me from the hell I was in. I've been getting to know them more deeply ever since...
In fact, I need to pause the video so I can go be with them right now.
I'll finish the video later. Thank You.
Just discovered your channel and I really love how you present things, explain them, love listeninf to you and your energy. Thank you for all this work you put up and for sharing this with us. Lots of love from France.
YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL SOUL AND IT IS SO APPARENT.
I have been studying Kali and Yama, Death is a door and I have found its key holders fascinating. They seem to have moved something in me and not just them I have been studying Hei Bai Wuchang and Santa muerte.
Just to say it, I love life and living.
Thanks for the information.
This lecture just blew my mind. Thank you so much!
My child asked to see a tarot card of kali where she is riding on a horse, then pulled out the sun card. She then said we were her daughters. So, renewing my devotion :)
I think the kind of temper I have,kaali ma is the only one who matches my frequency perfectly .Before her I never prayed to any specific god because I didn’t feel any connection with the gentle forms of deities.
She understands my aggression and my pain.She came to me when I was so angry at everything that I felt my body cells are going to burst into flames because of hurt betrayal and anger.She held my hand and I cried my heart out to her.At that moment I knew she is my deity.I like the fierce form of deities.
I pray to Kaali and Kaal Bhairav.They both are strong and fierce.It’s like praying to a power couple.
Listening to you literally makes me happy and physically smile!! Bless you 🥺💛🌙🙃 can’t wait to evolve after hearing you
I have just started. I was initiated by my gurudev with the mantra of Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. I am deeply attracted to Maa Kali. I do my Japa as instructed. I am facing a lot of troubles in my life, in my career, and health prospects. I feel Maa is taking a very difficult examination of mine, I listen to Dakshina Kali's stotro every day. But there is no one to help me in the tantra journey of Maa Kali. My guru told me to read scriptures, but Sanskrit again is an issue. I don't know, I am lost. All I do is my Japa seriously, I bow down at Kali temples, I feel I am very early at my spiritual journey which can take many lifetimes.
You and your explanation and juxtaposition passes the vibe check. Thank you for the blessing of wisdom.
What a pleasant personality you have my dear ... May MahaMaya bless u in abundance
Very helpful insight, esp as one who is not from India or raised in hinduism. I became heavily involved with ISKCON last year and deeply connected with Bhakti and fell in love with the stories and texts of hindism - but ultimately fell away from their limited way of doing things. Still trying to integrate everything I learned in a more holistic way after leaving and this video is really helping with that. Thank you!
limited way of doing things like? hinduism has various sects. The shortcut and serious one to reach enlightenment is tantric way or worshipping shakti, but need to be done under a true guru else things can go wrong
ISKCON is fraudulent 😮😮😮😮
@Jillian.Dreams ISKCON is a Krishna consciousness group they don't teach whole Hinduism. And this men is a Shakta who worship the Divine Goddess 🙂 in Hinduism every kind of person is accepted didn't matter it's a men,women or trans every person can see Divine within themselves or in others too❤
Probably the best explanation I've heard and the friendliest flow in which it was delivered. thanks so much 😁
Agreed ❤
Her presence is so strong, not everyone can handle her "Tej".
Thank you for this video
I have never dabbled in this religion but you were very interesting and speak well about the topic and I'll stick around to watch for sure Great job
I’m a white American from Oklahoma. I’ve been doing meditation retreats for the past year and doing meditation for almost 3 years daily I just left a retreat where I had a moment where there was an Energy that was moving my body and my head like a snake. I was also being made to make hand gestures that I did not understand. I also was noticing that this movement of energy energy within my head was writing something out that I did not understand like a long sentence. Use my face as it was drawing the words with my nose. I was talking to someone at the retreat about what was happening to me. I was talking to them. I said I wonder what this is. And then I heard the word Kali. I’ve heard of this word, but I looked it up. There’s no doubt about it. That is what I’m directly experiencing. I have no understanding at all of Kali. Yet I’m having a direct experience with it.
I also understand it’s just an aspect of the divine. I understand why I’m connected to it. it’s not because I knew of it, read about it, studied it. What I realize now is I committed years ago to understanding the true essence of nurture. I studied it. I’ve learned what it’s not and right before I had the experience with this energy I solved a piece of the puzzle of what nurture is not that I have worked for 49 years. it says if I became it because I understand it without worship
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I’ve been curious about this aspect of religion and you did a great job of explaining while at the same time being open minded.
Kali has repeatedly come into my life over and over again. I am American Sri Lankan Tamil Hindu. I feel strange as her worship is not popular in my family or in my village in Sri Lanka. My mother died when I was very young, so I feel very connected to Maa Kali. The commodification of her image is something I am very uncomfortable with, as I feel Americans romanticize or do not fully understand her true force and treat her as an “energy” instead of a Goddess. I have seen signs to worship her actively, and this video has been very helpful. Thank you, Nish.
I love Kali with all my heart but my interactions in forms of worship with her have been very..... Raw! She truly is Terrifically Loving and Powerful and it took me over a decade to heal transform and evolve past them!!!!!!🌺👹👑
does she talked to you?
Love your enthusiasm, and its interesting to hear about some of the intricacies of your faith.
Namaste. I love your energy and wisdom as well as knowledge on this. It is truly refreshing and invigorating to have someone explain this in a concise and yet profound manner. Syabas!!!
What do you know about mother Kali.. Tell me. Are you from India?
Thank you for your worship. It was a refreshing experience to see your Joy! UWU
I love your energy! I'm feeling so happy with your vibe!
Beautiful thank you so much for this!
I just love your energy, your examples, and even your voice. Thank you for helping me understand my journey.
Maa Kali reached out to me today, although I've known of her. I felt I was not ready previously, and now my intuition tells me that I have spiritual work to do.
The time is now.
Thank you for this! 🙏🏽❤️
I am an American woman who identifies as Wiccan, I recently had a very powerful experience with Kali-Maa. My religion is very neo-peganism new age and teaches us a bit about every religion. My main Goddess matron is The Morrigan Irish goddess of war, sovereignty, fate. There's some magic and fertility aspects to her as well.
Anyway I inherited some of her abilities spiritually so whenever I get emotional I can get destructive and even bloodthirsty. This show on the physical world but more when I'm astral traveling or on spiritual plane. I've also had trouble with balancing my light, Devine energy my higher self with my dual nature. I have also known much pain in life. Despite this I have the ability to communicate with the divine in many diff forms.
Recently I had a past life regression triggered and it had a snowball effect of me getting rid of karmic debt as I'm told I'm about to ascend after this life, my spirit being 1000 years old.
I started seeing a lot of snakes and sun symbols one of which my mother goddess used on me a while back but did not look Celtic and have been trying to find the source. I have seen Kali, but for a while have tried my HARDEST to avoid her, even frightened of Kali. But she has been near me these past few days. I finally let her in because I got tired of seeing her CONSTANTLY. Um she seems to be focusing on my bloody aspect I try hard to hide, saying that "I see a darkness in you that not even your mother can contain" "you cannot spiritually ascend if you deny this part of you"
Kali.. energy is... How do I say even more firey then that of The Morrigan or Hekate of Greek pantheon? I've been wired for days!🥺 Feeling the insanity aspect of myself too, (the kind that laughs uncontrollably, the bloodthirsty aspect) Kali activated all 7 of my chakras especially around the heart. Been feeling with unresolved grief from a death in my family. I did smell rot or fire during this time that wasn't explainable.
Right before she showed up I was dealing with energy from a karmic connection and started imitating her in spirit without realizing it? Felt very fiery, like holding an unknown head, and randomly sticking my tongue out, which felt like it was burning. My goddess The Morrigan had even admitted to "calling in Kali to help deal with you" I don't think I'm meant to be a worshipper but it does feel like there is a collaboration between my goddess and Kali behind the scenes? But why is she here? I've gone through many death cycles with my goddess a few with Hekate but now Kali seems to be... The big guns? The final boss 😅 help please, I know nothing. Kali seems like she wants to stay. Despite my being owned by diety A, is she here as a new teacher? What can I do to respect Kali without angering my mother goddess I have sworn to? I am so confused! Google doesn't help at all. All I know is; I NEED to know more, need to learn what Kali-Maa has to teach, I want to run from her, and yet I am pulled, I feel like I'm going crazy.
Hi. Did you find what you were looking for? Did you get any answers? You sound so troubled, almost tormented in your comment. Hope you are well
Ma Kali came to me since I was a kid, I was having rough times as a kid and I remember drawing a women with three boobs, then again Ma Kali appeared to me during rough times on my 20, she been teaching me a lot, and helping me destroy my ego
Thank you for the video, Recently I suddenly fall in love with my Ma kali, whenever I see her devolational song with images, I feel like crying out of devotion, I hardly use to pray any god but I always knew I more incline to femanine enegry or devi but didnt knew which one, so I was looking and finding about different goddess , somehow I feel so much incline to Ma Kali, I feel yearing to connect with her but didnt know what to do as I read on google, some say you can and some say you cannot but I am clear now :) Thanks alot!
Those who were saying you cannot worship this particular aspect of God is saying you need a guru and to be initiated too.
❤thank you so much for explaining this. I adore her. i don't preform any rituals. I just talk to her in my heart. I'm not even Indian, but she's the only god that i truly feel that I can relate to. And it's not her energy that I want or anything like that. I just hope and pray that she can hear me. It's like I want her to know me---Not to take anything from her. It's more like I want to give myself to her. I know this will probably sound crazy, but it's like a sort of heart-ache that I feel, like I love her so much I want her to devour me, just so I can be a part of her.
Yeah, I'm definitely crazy. But I can't help it.
Thanks again ✌️
Very knowledgeable on the subject matter! Thanks for sharing this wonderful content, my friend!
I met her on my "journeys". The only devine being I ever saw in my life.
You are so helpful man... I appreciate you
Thank you so much for sharing this information it has helped me alot. I have a calling for Kali and didn't know how to go about it. I now know it's ok to approach her. Thank you sir
This was amazingly helpful! Thank you so much for your insight, light, humour and wisdom 🙏🏾 Could you please elaborate on what Bhakti practices are for Kali? What exact devotion would be safe for someone who knows very little about the differences between Bhakti and the rituals that would require initiation 🙌🏾
Oh my gawd. I started out doing everything I wasn't supposed to. I was attracted to her because I needed my ego to be put to rest. She has brought much inner transformation for me. The taming of my temper, for one. jai ma Kali, har har mahadev.
Jai Maa Kali ❤🌺🙏
I don't want to misappropriate or anything she presented herself to me I had no idea what her who she was until he started working with plant medicine and I did some primal screaming. Since then when I start connecting with her I can really tap into my righteous rage it's a really intense feeling my face gets really flush I become fearless.... Also very aggressive. She told me though that it might be a little too intense for everyday life and to begin connecting and communing with Durga especially on some big picture mission projects that will help a lot of women and just people in general. When Kalis energy gets a little too much And if I can't stop chant to Shiva Om namah shivaya. However I am new to this I hope that I'm doing these things right and that they're happy.
I’ve always been very drawn to chinnamasta, dhumavati but everyone says not to worship kali but I haven’t found any mother deity I feel more love for and genuine pull
Kali is fine to worship
Idk if you should approach chinnamasta and dhumavati as a tantric sadhana . But following Bhakti you can worship any form of the goddess.
You can worship Tara, Bhuvaneshvari etc.
I ain't afraid of no mac and cheese! Very informative talk; food for much thought. Commoditization of the deity huh? I like that. Well said. You said a lot of things that were well said.
So nicely articulated a confusing topic 😊
I worship and have a relationship with Kali Ma. I have seen her in my Ayahuasca ceremonies several times.
I just remembered something. When I was 12 I bought a poster of Kali and hung it on my wall. I forgot about that.
I have been guided and protected all my life by MAA Durga. I was doing HER bhakti all my life, but since 2018 I felt a strong
pull to MAA KALI. My brother gave me a warning, that you should not do HER bhakti, because you won 't be able to handle it.
SHE is very powerfull. It is like in you have wires in your house for electricity with 220 volt . And you put 50.000 volt through it, all the wires will be burned instantaneously. He said , it is the same with MAA KALI. At first I threw away all her pictures in the river and stopped HER bhakti. But later I thought , SHE is guiding and protecting me more than 60 years now, how on earth, I won't be able to handle HER energy. So , I started again, and trying to have some kind of conversation with HER. Next week I will be finishing a japa for this. I am connecting daily with HER now, which I can see on my heartbeat. SHE is the most compassionate Mother you will find in the Universe. I have felt HER love since the age of 16 . SHE has never ever forsaken me, even I was stopped doing HER bhakti. after my initiation to the Vaisnava sampradaya by my Guru.
Beautiful video!! 💯💜
Hi Nish, I am so grateful to have come across your videos. Your in-depth understanding of Bhakti has blown me away! Is there a way to get involved in the live lectures?
Jai Jai!
