Mandare Ki Mata,the
most powerful forms of Shakti "one
who can redeem in situations of utmost distress"
"O Mother, even a dullard becomes
a poet who meditates upon thee raimented with space, three-eyed, creatrix of the three worlds, whose waist is beautiful with
a girdle made of numbers of dead men's arms..." (From a Karpuradistotra hymn, translated from Sanskrit by Sir John Woodroffe)
The love between the Divine Mother and her human children is a unique relationship. Kali, the Dark Mother
is one such deity with whom devotees have a very loving and intimate bond, in spite of her fearful appearance. In this relationship,
the worshipper becomes a child and Kali assumes the form of the ever-caring mother.
