The battle between Raktabija and Shakti! Raktabija, who was overthrowing the gods and trying to rule the earth, was granted a boon by Brahma, allowing Raktabija's power to increase by a thousand every time a drop of his blood was spilled.


The battle between Raktabija and Shakti! Raktabija, who was overthrowing the gods and trying to rule the earth, was granted a boon by Brahma, allowing Raktabija's power to increase by a thousand every time a drop of his blood was spilled. Armed with weapons Durga rode into the battle on her tiger slaying the demons. Raktabija's blood spilled everywhere. From each drop of blood a thousand more demons like him sprang up. Upon seeing this, Durga became enraged. Kali emerged! Most frightening with her blood red eyes, sunken deep into her skull and a third eye flaming brilliantly from her forehead. She turned her furious gaze, demons fell lifeless from the deadly grip of Her stare. She let out a loud shriek and more fell dead at Kali's feet. With wild cackling, She advanced on Her enemies. She reached out with her claw-like hands and shovelled some of the remaining demons into her gaping mouth. The rest turned away in fear of this ferocious Devi. The skies were filled with the sound of Her shrieking laughter. But Kali didn't stop. She stretched out Her bright red tongue and swallowed all of the elephants and their riders as they tried to run. To stop her, Lord Shiva threw himself under her feet. Kali continued her frenzied dancing. It was a few moments later She realised that it was indeed Her husband Shiva! She stuck out her tongue in astonishment and quickly came out of her trance. And She was once again the calm Devi Durga, Maa Shakti! Once more the world was saved from total destruction. Shiva's quick and selfless thinking had balanced the Devi's dance of destruction.!!! Om Kaali Kankali Keli Kalambhyam Swaha ~ Boom Shankar!!!
