It sometimes feels like we're in the age of Kali Yuga, an age of darkness and ignorance. Where people slide further down their path of dishonesty, with virtue held cheaply. Passions become uncontrollable as unrestrained sexual indulgences and manipulations run through society. Liars and hypocrites rise. Common sense and decency have become less common. Our nutritional, visual, and auditory diets are now corrupted by those who desire power, and people feel powerless or content to give their power over to others. The world is now polluted beyond saving, water and food have become scarce, and the creatures living in it are fewer and weaker.
In Devi Mahatmya, when Kali unfurls her tongue in her role as the ultimate deliverer called upon to salvage a situation that seems hopelessly out of control, she reveals herself to the world as something greater than she appeared before. She is summoned by the Supreme Goddess Durga herself to destroy the demon Rakta-bija, whose name means 'blood-seed', and after killing the demon, Kali drank his blood, absorbed his power, and ended his control over the world.
Have you ever had THOSE days where you wish Kali would just get it over with and smite those demons already, but then you realize you were Kali all along and you've just been waiting for Durga the Inescapable to call you to action?
I'm feeling called to action today.
