Vivekananda & Kali by Swami Mahayogananda

In continuing lectures about Divine Mother Kali as we prepare to worship Her this week, Swami Mahayogananda expounds on Swami Vivekananda's relationship with Mother Kali

[@indranilkar7253]

38:15 The stars are blotted out, The clouds are covering clouds, It is darkness vibrant, sonant. In the roaring, whirling wind Are the souls of a million lunatics Just loose from the prison-house, Wrenching trees by the roots, Sweeping all from the path. The sea has joined the fray, And swirls up mountain-waves, To reach the pitchy sky. The flash of lurid light Reveals on every side A thousand, thousand shades Of Death begrimed and black - Scattering plagues and sorrows, Dancing mad with joy, Come, Mother, come! For Terror is Thy name, Death is in Thy breath, And every shaking step Destroys a world for e’er. Thou “Time”, the All-Destroyer! Come, O Mother, come! Who dares misery love, And hug the form of Death, Dance in Destruction’s dance, To him the Mother comes.

Thanks alot

Brought tears in my eyes. What a great talk. Swamiji is blessed in his talk with the energy of Swami Vivekananda and mother Kali. Thousand pranams to Swamiji.

[@JungleFeverForOShea]

I interacted with Swamiji at the Hollywood temple a few times. He is very generous with his time and he has great energy. He made me feel worthy of his attention. I love what I'm hearing so far just a few minutes into this talk. I'm in infatuated with Kali's immense beauty and tenderness yet I fear her ferociousness. The dichotomy is alluring.

Best talk on Mother Kali I have ever listened. Tears... Bliss... Trance... 🙏

[@sejalvshah]

What a profound lecture. Through your words you carry all closer to Swami ji and our beloved Mother. Thank you. 🙏 🌺🌺🌺🙏

[@kailasamberke2178]

This talk thrills my soul! My hairs stand on end as these poems are read. We are truly of one source and spun from the same thread.

[@jaswanteepersaud8003]

I wish more people could understand her better with the help of talks like this one. Cause and effect is the law of creation. There is day, there is night, there is good and there is bad so we can learn and choose wisely.

[@parthabose1611]

You have swept me away Swamiji, I couldn't talk ,silence prevailed,

[@sanjayghosh9349]

So nice a deliberation very rarely heard truly.Respected Maharaj,please accept my pronum.

[@msadhu26]

Pranam Maharaj. I'm grateful for this amazing talk. 🙏

[@sharemarathi4634]

Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤

[@maharshichakrabarti7530]

Like Sri Ramakrishna before him, Swamiji was the hand maiden of Ma Kali. Swamiji had remarked to Sister Nivedita that She used the body of Sri Ramakrishna for Her ends. He too was used by Ma for Her work. A wonderful sermon by Swamiji. Pronam

There is something scary about this. Both of them died at a young age...

Its as if vivekananda were a secret aghori. But these are the true roots of the religion, in a certain himalayan wildness Which we have long forgotten

[@ritingkardatta4852]

no vivekananda never practiced aghora nor did ramakrishna ,rk practicies vigyan tantra but himalayas have aghor,siddha, shudda kaula ,bhairav kaula ,right hand tantra ,left hand tantra naga sadhana all......

[@kartikjain5183]

Can someone please send the starting shloka

[@christophershane2408]

Before I knew anything at all about the deities she appeared to me in a dream. A voice advising me to seek out a lost god, that is a goddess lost to minds but alive through time. I was shown a painting. Her name is Priva. Her countenance is pale blue, almost white. She wears a crown of golden flames. She smiles adorned by flowers pure and pleasant. When I seek out Priva is when I find Kali. The goddess is not black. She is all things. (The word Priva I understand as an abbreviation of the word "private.")

[@vivekdas8060]

That's very interesting brother.

[@Avijit.305]

Shiva is form of pure Brahman and her consort mother Kali is her energy, Shakti.

[@shrivastavash1788]

She is absolute... She is the one who makes shava to shiva. She is the one who is eternal. Mahakali is beyond time and mahakal is time...

[@Avijit.305]

@@shrivastavash1788 You're wrong. Both are beyond time. Both are limitless. Neither can exist one another. Ramkrishna gave example, Sun is like Shiva and its light is Kali. Now one cannot imagine Sun without light neither light without Sun.

[@DattaMusics]

@@Avijit.305 That which is Satchidananda , That which is brahman , Is the same as The Divine Mother - Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita

[@vishshi]

​​@@Avijit.305 what if I believe only in Kali ? Why should She not be both , in Uttara Kaula there is no separate Shiva tattva. Kali is both the sun and its light

[@Avijit.305]

@@vishshi Shiva and Kali are ONE. Bramhan and Shakti are ONE just like fire and its heat are ONE.
