Divine Mother. East and West.

KALI DIVINE

Thou Mother of Flames, show Thy Face, hidden beneath the veil of Cosmic Motion Pictures.

O Mother of time, space, forms, and relativity, Thou hast taken a finite form—the Kali Divine, colossal, symbol-idol of all-sheltering nature.... 

Thy one hand holds the lightning-sword of destruction: another clutches the severed head of ignorance: Thy third hand of power wakes Unseen Creative Force, to take finite, fairy forms: the wand of Thy fourth hand stops the storms of cosmic discord, ushering in the soothing rays of Peace.

O Kali, Thou wild Mother of creative activity, wearing a garland of human minds: the rhythm of Thy wild dance of creation ceases when Thy foot-steps touch the transcendental breasts of Thy Invisible Husband of Infinity—Shiva, in Whom all creation rests

(excerpts from Kali-Divine by Paramahansa Yogananda, Whispers from Eternity)

My Image of Divine Mother

SRF was my first religious experience with a Mother God. Most of my SRF friends who were in love with Divine Mother generally used pictures of  Mother Mary, mother of Jesus from the Catholic tradition such as this:

I worked as a volunteer for Mother Teresa's nuns for a time and they revered Mother Mary (not divine mother). They had beautiful pictures of her as a gentle and loving mommy.

These scenes were gentle and tender and I imagined Divine Mother to be lovely and warm, like Mary . Ahhh, how wrong I was!

Mother Goddess of the East

Kali

Shiva gets pwned by Kali, mother of flames, who is wearing a garland of human minds and doing a wild dance of creation on his transcendental breasts.

Bad as this looks what happens next is even worse....

shiva is part of the Hindu trimurti

Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu

Shiva is the God of destruction.

The holy lump in front of Shiva is his linga

A linga is a penis (one of the most destructive forces on earth)

Here is Divine mother as Durga

Yielding weapons like a Swiss army knife

This Kali is no Virgin Mary!

Kali

Kali is eating Shivas innards and creating the universe (to keep the blog PG-13, I blacked out the Universe Creation part)

The story is that after she does the dance of creation on his breasts, she then pounces on him and eats his innards out. After that she well, uh.. you know, then she rips off his linga and creates the universe.

This is like the Adam and Eve story except instead of eating the Apple, Eve eats Adam.

 This is why the Hindu traditions make so much more sense than the Christian/Jewish tradition?

Adam is confused but Eve has it figured out. The snake is in the tree telling her what to do.

Here is Shivas linga with the "Yoni"

The Yoni is the "Female" anatomy.

Shiva's linga appears in Hindu temples without the rest of him. He is worshipped by pouring milk and flowers on the linga. Hallelujah brethren!

.....Again we see the snake....

Unity of East and West.

Om, Amen

Book Review:

includes excerpts from the book:
My Life and Service to my Guru
 by Durga Mata


Channeling Divine Mother. Taking names and kicking buttocks.

Divine Mother as KALI

"Kali is writing her name in flames on your foreheads"

Paramahansa Yogananda (as quoted by Durga, page 30)

In this part of the book Durga Mata tells of an interesting event involving the Master and Divine Mother. 

In 1948 a group of five disciples went to Yogananda's room. He said "Sit a little distance away, Divine Mother doesn't want anyone to touch me." He had them call the Lewis' to come. It was the first time they "had seen him in such a different ecstasy."


"He talked aloud to Divine Mother, and she would use his voice to answer him back aloud, so we could hear it all. Divine Mother took each one by our names and would tell us what each one's faults were and Master's tender heart would come to our defense. Daya took some notes. Divine Mother laid us low and many others who were not present, according to each ones' just deserve. I remember my scolding very well."

Durga received a severe scolding by Divine Mother because a little while back she made a fuss about giving up her room to a guest. Apparently she had given up her room many times before but this one time she made an issue of it and boy did that upset the Divine Mother! She doesn't say what the others did to receive such a scolding from Divine Mother but I envision such Earth shaking revelations as 'Fred leaves the toilet seat up' or 'Mary chews with her mouth open' and other issues of great importance to Divine Mother. 
Divine Mother was taking me on the carpet for that saying,  " Duj (Yogananda's nick name for Durga) was selfish and wouldn't give up her room." Master answered "Please Divine Mother, don't punish her. she has always been unselfish and is my pal, and you know she takes on the sins of others, don't punish her mother." 
Each one without exception got a lesson we would never forget.
(page 37)
They all commenced crying hysterically like an ol' timey revival meetin' and they became listless and remorseful. This went on for three days. Yogananda going back and forth between Divine Mother criticizing them, to Yogananda defending them. Eventually Divine Mother had to get back to minding the universe. Yogananda was relieved from the terrible duty of defending them against her wrath for such offenses as leaving the top off the toothpaste or whatever.

There are more interesting stories in this book which I will review later.

Peace and Best Wishes,
Katie
