  • Explaining the Hindu goddess Kali, Dr. Svoboda lectures on disrupting structure in order to see supreme reality.
    “Everything you see is in the process of falling to pieces … and Kali is standing there as the manifestation of what will happen to everything and everyone. There will be that total destruction and that reversion of everything into something new.” - Dr. Robert Svoboda
    This time on Living with Reality, Dr. Robert Svoboda explains:
    - The 700 verses of Shri Durga Saptashati
    - A description of Kali’s attributes
    - Ayurveda and the separation of the desirable versus undesirable
    - The manifestation of Mahamaya
    - Blood as the representation of Prana
    - How Kali fights off the enemies of our spiritual development
    - Kali Shakti and awakening awareness
    - Kundalini and identifying with Shiva
    - Removing Maya and turning it into consciousness
    - The difference between Kali and Kali Yuga
    - Time, death, and darkness
    - The liberation that comes from destruction
    - Images of the goddess as incarnations and invocations
    “This is, of course, what manifested life is all about: we want the desirable and we want to avoid the undesirable. But this duality is itself in a way demonic; it is preventing us from seeing the supreme reality. “ - Dr. Robert Svoboda

    My story is quite funny. I was not religious despite being a Hindu. Read his book AGHORA as m a voracious reader. Started visiting temples n doing rituals and now I am in love ❤️ with Maa Kaali. And I am grateful to my bones to Robert Svobodha that he wrote his book and for all his wisdom of a lifetime. I don't see the world as I saw 2 years ago.

    I love how ….these deities describe the mind and perception of viewing existence! Hinduism has been dismissed as a false religion by many people. I think from a western perspective it is a very honest way of perceiving our reality.

    It may seem a bit odd to some people but having been born and grown up in Kolkata, I experienced images of Maa Kaali everywhere but even as a child I never felt any fear. And despite her horrific portrayal, I only saw beauty in, and blessings coming out from, her. 🙏

    I totally disagree with the last bit of invoking Maa Kali in your life when you're ready to be on Pyre. Invoking her in your life is also inviting a new beginning with the new you. The dus mahavidyas are her hues that explains she is life, death, and everything in between. She is furious for the demons not for her children. So please don't propagate fear in her name. 🙏

      @sathiskumar5504 No, it's not that simple. Without tamas, there is no manifestation whatsover. Ma Kali is vomiting and sveating blood and tamas and brings about the end of the manifestation. Her violent means signify the uncompromising 'take no prisoners' style of recovery process. She is pure sattva, though.

    It bothers me when academic men scare people away from the form of the Mother most needed on the planet right now! If you have wisdom from Saraswati and wealth from Lakshmi without the life from Kali, you're just another zombie, drifting through Maya, impotent to stop the violence, suffering, imbalance and misery around you. DO NOT FEAR THE MOTHER! Her darshan delivers you from walking dead into real true life.

    There is no god nor goddess in Hindu religion.
    Among Hindus show me one scripture where in Sanskrit word god is mentioned. There is none.
    Specific words are Bhagwaans the holy of highest order who always remain righteous. Never do or teach wrong or evil.
    Then are Devi and Devta, who do good for humans and sorcerors use for evil doings according to the kinds of evil doers.
    And Kali is wife of Shivji and equal to Bhagwaan. Is Maha devi.
