Dear muktimaa ~ once again, thank you so much for sharing the quote from

"The Path of the Mother." I think I am going to have to call my step-dad and see

if he can find my "Amma box" in the shed and mail it to me. I really want to

read that book again. In another book, "The Tantric Way," by Ajit Mookerjee,

there is a stone sculpture of Ardhanarisvara, depicting and exemplifying the

"divine biunity of male and female principles in a single unit." I't s a

beautiful sculpture. I don't know if this Ardhanarisvara is the dual aspect of

Kali, but I thought it was interesting that I had just seen the picture not

long before reading your post.

Jai Kali Ma ~ Linda

It's abeautiful sculpture. I don't know if this Ardhanarisvara is

the dual aspect of Kali, but I thought it was interesting that I had

Jai Maa, Lindaji!

Ardhanarishvara has long been one of my very favorite deity forms! It

actually depicts the combined form of Shiva/Shakti. The left half is

Parvati and the right half is Shiva. i have a very beautiful bronze

Murti of Ardhanarishvara. i like to worship the Devi side with bright

red Kum-kum powder and the Shiva side with white vibhuti [holy ash].

Jai Amma Kali! Your sister dancing on the wings of bliss,

muktimaa

Dear Muktimaa:

 

Kali indeed is neither male nor female. The Symbolic Form needs to

be transcended by the broad of mind.

 

Why do we have to masculinize a Deity? Why do we have to soften the

seemingly harsh aspects and use terms like Mother?

 

God is both! Not just that but infinitely beyond these limiting

adjuncts. There go my two centavos again.

 

With Love,
