It gets really fun when you get into the Atheist schools of Hindu philosophy that are still considered 100% Orthodox interpretations of the Vedas and Upanishads (though thanks to Atman-Brahman as a concept, the one I'm most familiar with, Advaita Vedanta, is really more like Atheism and Pantheism and Nihilism rolled into a single thought without contradicting itself).

There is one thing I’d like to note: Asuras are not inherently bad, and Devas are not inherently good.

Yes !. In myths , Mayasura , the greatest architect of the Asura clan , built the the there cities of Maya called Tripura .They were floating cities one above the other , the lowest city was made of iron and was located on the earth , the middle one located in the skies was made of silver and the third one made of gold was located in space. Mayasura created those three cities on the order of lord Brahma . Shiva destroyed those three cities after some time though. Mayasura also created Indraprasta , the present day Delhi , on the order of lord Krishna for the 5 Pandava brothers of The great epic Mahabharata.

@One’s Nirvonis The kind of psychopath who didn't even know this was his kid in this version and that when the kid was guarding his bathing mom, Shiva thought it was just some insolent brat standing in his way. The story doesn't do much for Shiva's image, but it still shows that even before getting the head of an elephant, Ganesha was a loyal enough son to guard his mother's honor even against the God of Destruction. Not to mention Parvati's transformation into the personification of a mother's rage.

She is the destroyer of evil, she absorbs darkness , she is the mother of all living beings. Kali is generally the angry form of goddess Durga....The supreme mother goddess of hinduism. Kali only comes to presence when negativity has taken over positivity. She is also a fierce warrior. She gives you strength and prosperity. She is nude, ugly, fierce, but she is still our mother.

[@abhishekkj9664]

It's useful to know the meaning of these symbolisms Kaali = emptiness in Sanskrit Emptiness is characterised by dark and hence Kali is black . Kaali especially symbolises destruction of Maya (Maya means illusion created by the act of measurement). The severed heads , skull represents Maya. Shiva and Parvati ( kaali's other form) represent two "opposites" . They are part of dualistic philosophy (has elements of non dualism too, especially when looked from yogic perspective) Shiva represents silent observer , non-measurement , void . since this aspect represents the potential , shiva is symbolised by a male (sperm = potential) whereas Parvati represents dynamism of energy, creativity , measurement (Maya) . Since this aspect represents creation, thus Parvati is a female ( womb manifests the potential in a sperm creatively) Almost all religions of the world can be categorised either as dualistic or non dualistic. The western religions are more non dual . The eastern ones have both , rather , in the eastern ones , non-dualism and dualism are both true , but non dualism is more fundamental.

Just think what a mother would feel in that position. So her emotion and anger lead her to come to this decision that if they are killing each other and making her kill her children then they don't deserve this life .... they can't protect and love their own cosmic siblings then why should they torture and kill eachother, even if she stop this battle now but they will kill eachother again.....they don't deserve this life and...... she started rampaging 🙏

Get over yourselves. The Brahminical insistence on monopoly over knowledge was shameful, and it was never absolute.

Casteism however can be much much worse, in the past it was used to specifically discriminate against certain communities based on the caste they were born into, preventing even their assimilation into society. They were considered as basically lesser humans, if humans at all. It's a sensitive topic, because it has a very painful history and has not yet been eradicated even from urban places, such instances of casual casteism or elitism because of caste still exists.

To be fair, at least Red is consistent! If we want to go back through all the myth pieces and so on the frequency "Give me a break, I can't pronounce this" comes up it'd almost be strange if everything was nailed here.

From the explanation here, Brahman sounds like a plant with thousands of roots or something of that nature.

[@haruhiro3105]

Actually Bhramin is more so every thought and word, every action, every person and thing. To more easily think of it. The universe is the dream of a sleeping Vishnu. o.o

[@excitableboy7031]

It's more like life, the universe and everything. Basically all souls are a part of it and it is the ultimate goal of living souls to break away from the cycle of death and rebirth and join the Brahman again. We visualise it as candle flames joining up the sun. I really cannot summarize what it is, but Universe++ is how I would put it, because the universe is, what's the word, embedded(?) in it? This is from Rig Veda, a book so old it predates books and writing and was passed down by people memorising the entire thing orally and verbatim. Hell it's so old that there are parts of it that are bird calls and stuff and basically untranscribable.

Really? I always thought it was a two headed cow

[@excitableboy7031]

@@wyldchyld4438 that's a brahmin my guy. One syllable makes a literal universe of difference

[@neardarkroad1347]

basically, everything is a part of Brahman. Pantheism basically.

"She bleps in surprise" is absolutely a phrase i will be using in my writing now

[@aadi2260]

Slight Correction: Kali is basically one of the 9 forms of Maa , With Parvati being the wife of Shiv , and whenever there is danger or whenever she (parvati) gets Angry, she turns into Kali ma .. So when Kali ma stepped on shiva, she calmed down and turned back into calm Parvati

[@micahclark3606]

I love how Shiva is the god of destruction (ish), and yet is the most "chilled out" of pretty much any god in any mythos.

[@oof-rr5nf]

Micah Clark Same!!!! He is so chill. Cool with all kinds of monsters and magical creatures. He is very accepting. Completely devoid of any materialism even - the dude only adornes a loincloth. I love him.

[@oof-rr5nf]

And he loves Parvati a whole lot. That is always nice to see.

[@Tioko]

But when he gets mad, he gets MAD. He’s same as Parvati aka Durga aka Kali in that aspect.

[@DeadInside-ct6dl]

Karolina B. Yeah, that's kind of expected too. I mean, we all know at least ONE person like that, don't we? The lesson is: Don't piss off a chill person, they can destroy you if they need to.

[@apoorvapandey5362]

He isn't the God of Destruction for nothing

[@astrobookwormsinger]

To understand the different Goddesses of Parvati, Durga, Shakthi, and Kali... Think of Star Wars. Darth Vader is most definitely not the exact same as Anakin Skywalker. But they both have the same relations (Being Luke's father) and deep down, they're the same. Just different names, and different personalities with different priorities. So... Yeah. At least, that's how I see it.

[@elizabethgodwin7679]

So Durga is also married to Shiva, right? Cuz she never said

[@sophiatalksmusic3588]

I always thought of it like the idea of the Christian Trinity, but with more than three faces of the same entity.

[@oof-rr5nf]

Clara L. Young Cool analogy, Clara!

[@astrobookwormsinger]

Thanks, all of you! Yes, as far as I know, Durga is also Shiva's wife. And I think it differs from the Holy Trinity because that comprises of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each aspect has a different relationship with one-another. Now, these 4 Goddess share the same relationships, like how they're all wives to Shiva.

[@thomasmac23]

Clara L. Young that somehow actually helped me

[@gravityhashira8877]

As a Hindu, I must say that this is accurate!! Also, Lord Eshwara (Shiva) is such a great husband!! 🙏🏽😊

[@z0ned_out]

This has been one of my favorite one of Kaali tales since childhood, and seeing that here honestly makes me soo happy. Thank you for covering it!

[@welshbandit7208]

So a number of folks are looking for animosity in this particular comments section, and to no avail. I would say it's due to 3 things. -One being the general audience of this particular channel. -Second is the amount of respect and disclaimers Red is providing. -Third because, well...Hinduism is highly complexed, and its practitioners know that. I attempted to have a coworker explain it to me... and well, fleeting casuals need not apply.

[@vishalrao4073]

There is a saying: जो काल से परे हो, वो है महाकाल। और जो महाकाल से भी परे हो, वो है महाकाली। It means in english that, Who is beyond time(Kaal), is known as Mahakaal(Shiva). But who is even beyond Mahakaal, she is Mahakaali.🔥

[@IgnisFiend]

That was a badass way of almost destroying the universe. More Hinduism please! PS: Love this channel.

~Dancing queen, young and sweet (???) only seventeen (thousand)~ ~Dancing queen, feel the beat of the tambourine (made from human skin), oh yeah!

[@ingonyama70]

well played.

[@GamerPony]

Kali is actually young and sweet or she can be, her weakness is babies. She goes into full doting mommy mode if she sees a baby

[@johnmazzel2898]

“Seated on a corpse, greatly terrifying, laughing loudly, with fearful fangs, four arms holding a cleaver, a skull, and giving the mudras bestowing boons and dispelling fear, wearing a garland of skulls, her tongue rolling wildly, completely naked, thus one should meditate on Kali, dwelling in the centre of the cremation ground.” -Todalatantra
