Kali Music Series - Goddess Kali, Terrifying Erotic Initiatress

By Hans Havasi

Goddess Kali, First Of The Mahavidya

Kali is the first of the 10 Tantric Goddesses or "Mahavidya" as they are called (Maha: great, Vidya: knowledge). She is most often portrayed with black skin, many arms, wide open eyes and wearing a necklace of severed heads. She dances on the dead body of the Lord Shiva. Her tongue hangs wildly out of her mouth and she laughs loudly at the attachments of us humans. She is indeed terrible to behold!

There is a lot of symbolism in these portrayals. There are allusions to our imminent death, there are symbols showing the polar aspect of the universe (yin and yang) and there are many erotic symbols as well. One of the main aspects of Goddess Kali is her aspect as the erotic initiatress and it is this aspect we will touch upon in this article.

Goddess Kali and eroticism

Sexual energy is in its essence feminine and needs to be guided by our conscious masculine principle. If not so it becomes wild and frantic and will control us instead of us controlling it. Kali appears terrible to us because we cannot appreciate her huge power and our own sexual potential. Any woman who starts a worship of Kali will awaken her sexuality becoming able to fully enjoy life, her own energy and knows of the power of love.

The egoistic mind, which is stiff and afraid, fears such a female expansive energy. Through the ages men have feared these strong displays of femininity and her energy which has been repressed through centuries. It is in fact a fear of life energy itself which is in itself erotic, expansive and feminine. As we fear the fully awakened woman (in tantra referred to as Shakti) we fear life itself.

So therefore Kali appears terrible for most of us who do not understand her deeper meaning.

Goddess Kali, The Keeper Of Kundalini

According to the spiritual tradition of Tantra, our spiritual evolution starts with a profound awakening of our potential energy, in tantra called Kundalini, stored at the base of our spines. This energy is correlated with our sexual energy. True transformation starts when we awaken this energy and channel it to higher centers of consciousness in our being.

Like a snake tamer plays the flute and his snake dances for him, our kundalini will dance for us when we awaken her through intense spiritual practice.

Goddess Kali and tantric ritual

Kali can be invoked through meditation with her mantra (which should be given to the adept by a tantric master) or can also be invoked through the continual gazing upon her yantra (please see the picture). Meditation upon yantras is a very powerful tool to calm down the mind and to enter into a process of resonance with the Goddess.



The most powerful way to worship Kali is through Tantric erotic ritual. These rituals start with the man worshipping the woman as being the great Goddess herself. Then follows the foreplay and lovemaking acts. After this the man and woman separate and each make a sadhana (spiritual practice) dedicated to the Goddess. This sadhana may consist of Asanas (yoga postures), Pranayamas (breathing exercises) and meditations.

Such rituals are very powerful and will create a deep bond between the two lovers. The lovers will be enveloped in a state of great reverence and holiness and the fabric of the universe will seem to open up for them. Kali will become a great mother who is always holding and guiding the worshipper. - 18418

Difference Between a Grand Piano and a Digital Piano

By Amy Nutt

Introduction

The difference between a grand piano and a digital piano really does depend on who you are at the end of the day. This is because to different people, the differences will mean alternate things. Some differences are noticeable to some people while some are not even worth mentioning as details to others. While we cant cover the entire spectrum of people that might use a grand piano or a digital piano in this article, some of the major groups of people are below.

The Average Joev

To the Average Joe, the practicality of the situation is really what matters. They are not interested in the minute details surrounding the sales of pianos but rather are interested in knowing how the two pianos will compare to each other when it actually comes to using the piano in order to get something good musically. For this type of person, there is really no difference between the grand piano and the digital piano. Both piano types will get them the music that they need and for this reason they are likely to go with whichever option is the more cost effective one at the time (usually the digital piano) if they do decide to make the large purchase.

The Classical Musician

There are many musicians in the world today and not all of them are classical. This person type has a very large flair for playing classical music and loves the old classical stuff more than just about any other type of music that you can find in the world today. These people are interested in coming up with that classical sound for their own musical pursuits. For these people, the grand piano will be the one they want. The grand piano has a richer and fuller sound that is reminiscent of those times while the digital piano is decidedly modern in the way it sounds. For a classical musician, that is not something to be desired.

Modern Composer

A modern composer is interested in getting everything together and then using the awesome power of the tools at their disposal to create music out of thin air. For the modern composer, the digital piano is going to be the superior one. The grand piano might have the better sound, but the composer is not playing for anyone. They are composing. The digital piano, combined with a musical software package, has far more power to help compose with the computing power of the internet and your own personal computer. In fact, the digital piano was really created for that purpose in addition to the synthesizer, so the modern composer would certainly choose one of those two over the grand piano were they making this sort of purchase.

Conclusion

These are generalizations to be sure. There are also many other types out there. However, covering the point of view in terms of practicality, instrumental sound and electronic computing power shows you some of the major differences between a grand piano and a digital piano. - 18418
