Kali Mata and modern womanhood

Kali mata, the Hindu goddess- fierce and destructive form of Shakti!!!

Today I saw this image of Kali Ma and underneath her feet is Lord Shiva!! It is believed that when Kali Ma killed Rakta Beej demon she became blood thirsty and started total destruction killing many innocent people. When no one knew what has to be done, Shiva came to rescue. Hence he laid down among all dead bodies; the moment Kali Ma realized she stepped on her husband’s chest she came back into her senses and things were in control.

Such a amazing story, how Shiva who is also know for his fierce nature came underneath his wife’s feet and stopped further destruction!

He alone had capacity to calm his beloved wife. It shows even Lord Shiva has to keep his pride aside to support his wife overcome her unnatural behaviour.

Even today when things go wrong and our better halves tend to leave their original nature, we need this kind of Shiva among us. Immense amount of love, care and understanding can help both of them grow maintaining the balance among each other and flourishing the relationship successfully.
