Kali (demon), the personification of Kali Yuga Kali (
Sanskrit ) is a
goddess with a long and complex history in
Hinduism. Although sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation still has some influence, while more complex
Tantric beliefs sometimes extend her role so far as to be the Ultimate Reality (
Brahman) and Source of Being. Finally, the comparatively recent devotional movement largely conceives of Kali as a straightforwardly benevolent
mother-goddess. Therefore, as with her association with the Deva (god)
Shiva, Kali is associated with many
Devis (goddesses) -
Durga,
Bhadrakali,
Bhavani,
Sati, Rudrani,
Parvati,
Chinnamasta,
Chamunda, Kamakshi or
kamakhya,
Uma,
Meenakshi, Himavanti,
Kumari and
Tara. These names, if repeated, are believed to give special power to the worshipper.
