Durga is Kali and Kali is Durga

Durga is Kali and Kali is Durga. Although worshipped in the two different forms, both Durga and Kali are representations of the same feminine ‘Shakti’. According to Hindu scriptures Goddess Shakti or the feminine power was created by the culmination of energies of all the Gods. The birth of Maa Durga was mainly to destroy the tyranny caused by King of the demons Mahisasura. The slaying of Mahisasura symbolizes the victory of good over evil. Goddess Kali originated from the forehead or brow of Maa Durga in order to kill the demons Shimbhu and Nishumbhu.

She is called Durga meaning one responsible to convert hardships (Durg) into joy. This Durga Energy is Shiva’s (one who wishes everyone’s well being) wife. In marriage males are given more importance than females. But here this is not true. In ShivaShakti, Shakti reigns. In the word Shiva, ‘I’ is none other than Shakti. If ‘I’ is removed the word becomes Shava or corpse.

In pictures of Mahakali, she is seen to dance on Shiva’s chest who is lying down on the ground. It means that from shiva’s bosom manifests zest, enthusiasm and energy. ‪ If Shiva were not to attain all this, he would remain a mere taintless witness-seer. Mahakali’s role is to pacify Mahakal’s ire, render his bosom zestful and disallow his potential to diminish. Their combined task fulfills their mission as Avatars. In an electrical flow one pole is positive and the other pole is negative. If this balance were not there the wire would burn and the aim of the powerhouse would fail to succeed. Mahakal has to execute very terrible and fiery Rudra like tasks. Mahakali renders these tasks well managed, balanced, peaceful, serene and mobile. If this were not the case this Avatar would be very fiery and an explosion could take place. When Shiva’s first wife Sati gave up her mortal coil there was a compulsive need to fulfill this void. As Uma she was reinstated! 💀👑👁👑💀
