Description
The word “Maa” also carries a lesser-known meaning: “to measure.” Uma, as the embodiment of Shakti, is the measure of Shiva—the infinite being confined into the finite world through her. She is the source of his boundless power, the controller of that divine energy. Known by countless names—Uma, Parvati, Sati, Durga, Chandika, Mahadevi, or Mahamaya—she transforms into Kalika or Kali, ultimately becoming Shyama. Yet at their core, they all represent the same essence: Adishakti or Adyashakti, the Primordial Energy.
Maa Kali has inspired countless texts, philosophies, and explorations. For Bengalis, she flows like a vast river through the heart of our culture and spirituality. Kings, saints, poets, beggars—countless lives, songs, verses, and works of devotion have been offered in her name. ‘Kali Katha’ is yet another heartfelt tribute to this boundless goddess, presenting a refreshingly unique perspective. Free from the complexities of rituals or esoteric traditions, this book seeks to depict a simple, deeply personal image of the Mother.
Tamoghno Naskar’s remarkable penmanship breathes life into these deeply spiritual concepts, making them accessible, fluid, and profoundly moving. His ability to take the complex and present it in a heartfelt and relatable manner ensures ‘Kali Katha’ stands apart as a deeply enriching read.
