1000 Names of Kali

[Guest guest]

93

 

There are many sahasranamas (hymns of 1000 names) of Kali. However i`m

afraid in english only one is available, that too in VERY bad

translation. It is incorporated in Satyananda Sarasvati`s book "Kali

Puja" (i`m speaking of american swami, not indian one under the same

name).

 

If U are interested in original sanskrit texts then:

 

1. Most common Dakshinakali-sahasranama (aka Kakaradi-medhadayaka)

originates from Mahakala-samhita and is found also in Shakta-pramoda,

Mantra-maharnava and Shyama-rahasya. Then it is rather common to be

found in numerous paddhatis etc in sanskrit and hindi.

 

2. Shamashanakali-sahasranama originates from Kalikula-sarvasva. It is

published in separate edition in sanskrit and also met in some

paddhatis etc. It is this sahasranama that is "tortured" in "Kali

Puja" book.

 

3. Kamakalakali-sahasranama originates from corresponding khanda of

Mahakala-samhita. Never met it anywhere else, it is indeed rare.

 

4. Some other Kali-sahasranamas are met in tantric paddhatis. Don`t

remember details of them however.

By the way, I've been meaning to mention that my Kali painting is

uploaded to Shakti Sadhana's pictures page.

I just checked out your painting and I have to say - I find talent in your

work! Speaking of art, I am actually trying to draw out Ma Kali in my

sketchbook in the way that I see her (not too far from most Indian pictures

of her, just a difference in style).

 

I have a fair amount of other art work, mainly based on my "little

roleplaying world" that I used to dedicate time to, as far as storylines

went...but then other things got in the way and I suddenly stopped working

on the art. That, and my art class at the time put so much pressure on me

that I burnt out for a while.

 

 

Blessings,
