Talk about Goddess Kali and the image that comes to our mind is that of a fierce woman with blood dripping tongue. But why does Goddess Kali drink blood?
Demons or Asuras through severe austerities obtained boons from Brahma. The demons often tried to attain boons of immortality but Brahma often denied it. Instead the demons were given death under specific circumstances.
The Asura Raktabeeja obtained a boon from Brahma that every drop of blood that falls on earth from his body will produce more demons.
The Devas could no longer fight Rakthabeeja and were on the receiving end. Finally, Mother Durga appeared as the terrifying Goddess Kali, who sucked up every blood that fell from Raktabeeja.
The main reason why she drinks blood of Evil Asuras and kill them by her weapons is just her forgiving side , because of her touch and also by her weapon's touch an Evil Asura also attains Moksha.
“Om Krim Kalikayai Namah”
Meaning - I bow my head to the Goddess Kali.
“Kali Mahakali Kalike Parmeshwari
Sarvanandkari Devi Narayani Namostute “
Meaning - I bow my head to the Goddess Kali who is also known as Maha kali, who brings everlasting happiness and who is known as Narayani.
