Shri Mahakali is imporant deity . But there are various misconceptions about her, just by looking at her rudra form. Mahakali (Sanskrit: Mahākāḷī, Devanagari: महाकाली), is the much revered Hindu Goddess of destruction and doomsday. Mahakali is fiercest of the Goddesses of universal power, time, life, death and both rebirth and liberation. She devours Kala (Time) and then resumes her own dark formlessness. She is also the consort of Mahakala, the god of consciousness, the basis of reality and existence.
Sahajayogis have often seen Mataji Nirmaladevi in the form of godess Mahakali. Matajai has explained many times that Mahakali is very loving, caring towards her children, disciples.
in one speech Mataji Nirmaladevi has said that -
Sahaja Yoga*, as you know, has a double action, as the Mahakali has a double action. She’s extremely loving, full of joy, full of happiness and She’s the one who’s extremely cruel, wrathful, She’s the one who’s the slayer of all the demons and the evil, and those people who try to do evil. So once you are thrown out into the left side then you can imagine, you can develop any kind of left-side diseases to begin with, Mooladhara diseases are the worst, you develop diseases like mellitus, this, er, er, you must have heard of the disabilities caused by the muscles getting degenerated. All muscular degeneration comes from this problem. So at any cost that must be avoided. But if you are not in the collective, if you do not understand the collective, and if you are out of the collective you’ll be surprised that negative forces will join together and they’ll pull you out. So this is one of the things that happens, so be very careful that don’t avoid the collective programmes
The, another problem about Mahakali is that, that She’s the one who gives you the feeling for your wife, for your husband, She is the one. Now there also, the same problem. If both of them are alright, She’s alright but if She finds any one of them going astray She’ll throw that person out and out and out and the, another person, if that person is attached to that person also will be thrown out. So this business of falling in love, this nonsense that we have here, that you fall in love, but the word is all right because you fall really in love. It’s a real falling happens. So what happens when you start falling in love, there’s a kind of a maya of this Mahakali and you just get infatuated, your ego gets pampered, or something like that, or you have certain ideas of a wife or something and then you think ‘Oh, that’s the one for me. So in these cases only two things can happen; either you can be lost completely because of your wife or your husband whom you adore and admire and you, you’ve finished, I mean your personality is finished. Or else, the another thing which is even more serious is that, that you’ll completely break forever and hate each other. …
In another lecture Mataji Nirmaladevi has described Mahakali as under -
Many people asked me that Oh mother how can Devi have furious form? If she is mother, how can mother be in furious form? why not? To make her children all right the Devi has taken furious form also. The Saumya form (compassionate and peaceful) can be harmful for her children some times. Therefore, the Rudra form (furious) is necessary. They cannot be corrected other than this.
