“She Holds A Glittering Scimitar, Drum, Head, And Drinking-Vessel. She Is Called The Solitary Warrior,
Maa KalaRatri, Praised As The Granter Of desires.”
– Murti Rahasya (19), An Anga Of The Devi Mahatmya
MAA MAHA KAALI Appears In Her Most Ferocious And Violent Form As Maa KalaRatri, Who Is Symbolic Of The Great Night Of Dissolution After Which, everything in the universe dissolves completely Into The Supreme And Absolute Divine Mother. MAA MAHA KAALI, Depicted As Maa KalaRatri, Is Also Symbolic Of How The Divine Mother Who Nurtures life, Can Also Ferociously Dissolve all ignorance and remove all impurities.
As The Divine Mother Of Cosmic Dissolution, Maa KalaRatri’s Terrible Form Evokes Fear. But For Her ardent devotees, Maa KalaRatri Is Maa Shubhankari, Who Grants all Auspicious Blessings. Maa KalaRatri Also Blesses With fearlessness By Destroying ignorance and all things inauspicious from the minds of Her devotees.
