– Watch the whole vid to hear the various bells and see all the colors! There was no way I was going to be in Bengal and Not visit Ma Kali. Not a Chance. The Mahakal Mandir sits atop quite the hike upwards. I’m very impressed my mother came along the whole way. One of the most meaningful temple experiences personally that I’ve been able to have in India, grateful my mother wanted to share it with me let alone endure the walk up.
We started out from the famous Glenary’s Bakery & Cafe and made our way up (and up, and up).
“Kali stands on the bosom of Shiva; Shiva lies on the ground like a corpse. Prakriti performs all Her activities in conjunction with Purusha. Thus She creates, preserves, and destroys… That which sports with Kala is called Kali. She is the Primal Energy. Kala and Kali, Brahman and Shakti, are indivisible… Thus one cannot think of Brahman without Shakti, or of Shakti without Brahman.
One cannot think of the Absolute without the Relative, or of the Relative without the Absolute. The Primordial Power is ever at play. She is creating, preserving, and destroying in play…”
– Shri Ramakrishna
