INTRODUCTION

Kali also called as Kali Devi is one among the Mahavidyas, and considered as a great goddess in Hinduism. She is worshipped for getting relieved from black magic and prolonged illness, to get great spiritual powers, and to obtain more mental and physical strength. Kali was formed in order to destroy the evil forces. She is the incarnation of Ma Shakti, and she is worshipped widely in Saivism sect.  She is a great protector and offers moksha to us.

She is also called as Bhadra Kali, and her consort is Lord Veerabhadra, an avatar of Lord Shiva, and created by Lord Shiva, in order to destroy the Yagna of Lord Daksha. She is referred in ancient Hindu texts and puranas, and in that, her importance was mentioned. Her glory is mentioned in the sacred text Devi Mahatmyam.  She also destroyed the demons Madhu, Kaitapa, Chanda, Munda, Raktabija and several other demons. It is also believed that once, some thieves brought the great “JADABHARATA” to sacrifice him to Kali, since the saint Jadabharata was one of the brahma’s foremost sons, a huge spark appeared from his body and burnt the idol of Kali, and she immediately appeared from the idol and killed the thieves and blessed “JADABHARATA”.

She also appears in Mahakali form, and she is worshipped in the temple of Ujjain city. She was also worshipped by the great king “VIKRAMADITYA” who was the ruler of UJJAIN during that time. She also blessed Kalidasa and safeguarded him throughout in his life.  Her appearance is described as black in colour and looks very beautiful and always shows kindness to her sincere devotees and destroys the evil ones. She is considered as the Mother of the entire Universe.

Many saints and devotees were worshipped and blessed and got salvation through her. She showers her grace on us, if we sincerely worship her with pure devotion in our mind.
