(More customer reviews)Gift for Family- Supreme Goddess Kali Hand Carved Stone Statue 15 Inches
"Kali" is also known as Kalika in Bengali is the Hindu goddess associated with eternal energy. The name Kali comes from "kala", which means black, time, death, lord of death, Shiva. Kali means "the black one". Since Shiva is called Kala - the eternal time, Kali, his consort, also means "the Time" or "Death" (as in time has come).
Hence, Kali is considered the goddess of time and change. Although sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation still has some influence. Various Shakta Hindu cosmologies, as well as Shakta Tantric beliefs, worship her as the ultimate reality or Brahman. She is also revered as Bhavatarini (literally "redeemer of the universe"). Comparatively recent devotional movements largely conceive Kali as a benevolent mother goddess.

Kali is the feminine of kala ("black, dark coloured").Kala primarily means "black," but also means "time." Kali means "the black one" and also "time" or "beyond time." Kali is strongly associated with Shiva, and Shaivas derive her feminine name from the masculine Kala (an epithet of Shiva). The early Sanskrit dictionary, the Shabdakalpadrum, states kalah sivah | tasya patniti kali - "Shiva is Kala, thus his wife is Kali."
Other names include Kalaratri ("black night"), as described above, and Kalika ("relating to time"). Coburn notes that the name Kali can be used as a proper name, or as a description of color.
Kali's association with blackness stands in contrast to her consort, Shiva, whose body is covered by the white ashes of the cremation ground (Sanskrit: smasana) in which he meditates, and with which Kali is also associated, as smasana-kali.
