The delightful outstretched tongue of Maa Kali distinguishes her from all other gods and goddesses of the Hindu pantheon. In Devi Mahatmaya , Maa Kali unfurls her tongue in her role as the ultimate deliverer called upon to salvage a situation that seems hopelessly out of control. She is summoned by Durga herself to destroy the demon Rakta-bija, whose name means blood-seed. Blood represents life physically and spiritually. On one level it represent the overwhelming power of desire, thirst of life and reproduction. Ultimately the entire earth has been filled with these seeds. This is why She shows Her red tongue - in order to make all existence free. Certainly, blood has a sacred and sacrificial meaning in every religion and culture. It's a symbol of the divine life manifested on the lower planes or the lower nature, and, at same time, a symbol of the cleansing of one's own lower mind to the higher consciousness. 🔱👅💀🐚👁🐚💀👅🔱
