MOTHER KALI
THE DESTRUCTIVE FORM OF LIFE
THE SON OF MOTHER KALI
“AND LET SHYAMA DANCE THERE”(Rendered from Bengali)
Beaut’ous blossoms ravishing with perfume,
Swarms of maddened bees buzzing all around ;
The silver moon—a shower of sweet smile,
Which all the dwellers of heaven above
Shed lavishly upon the homes of earth ;
The soft Malaya breeze, whose magic touch
Opens to view distant memory’s folds ;
Murmuring rivers and brooks, rippling lakes
With restless Bhramaras wheeling over
Gently waving lotuses unnumbered ;
Foaming flow cascades—a streaming music—
To which echo mountain caves in return ;
Warblers, full of sweet-flowing melody,
Hidden in leaves, pour hearts out—love discourse ;
The rising orb of day, the painter divine,
With his golden brush but lightly touches
The canvas earth and a wealth of colours
Floods at once o’er the bosom of nature,
—Truly a museum of lovely hues—
Waking up a whole sea of sentiments.
The roll of thunder, the crashing of clouds,
War of elements spreading earth and sky;
Darkness vomiting forth blinding darkness,
The Pralaya wind angrily roaring;
In quick bursts of dazzling splendour flashes
Blood-red terrific lightning, dealing death;
Monster waves roaring like thunder, foaming,
Rush impetuous to leap mountain peaks;
The earth booms furious, reels and totters,
Sinks down to its ruin, hurled from its place;
Piercing the ground, stream forth tremendous flames.
Mighty ranges blow up into atoms.
A lovely villa, on a lake of blue—
Festooned with dusters of water-lilies;
The heart-blood of ripe grapes capped with white foam
Whispering softly tells tale of passion;
The melody of the harp floods the ears,
And by its air, time, and harmony rich,
Enhances desire in the breast of man ;
What stirring of emotions! How many
Hot sighs of Love! And warm tears coursing down!
The Bimba – red lips of the youthful fair,
The two blue eyes—two oceans of feelings;
The two hands eager to advance—love’s cage—
In which the heart, like a bird, lies captive.
The martial music bursts, the trumpets blow,
The ground shakes under the warriors’ tread;
The roar of cannon, the rattle of guns,
Volumes of smoke, the gruesome battlefield,
The thundering artillery vomits fire
In thousand directions; shells burst and strike
Vital parts of the body; elephants
And horses mounted are blown up in space;
The earth trembles under this infernal dance;
A million heroes mounted on steeds
Charge and capture the enemy’s ordnance,
Piercing through the smoke and shower of shells
And rain of bullets; forward goes the flag,
The emblem of victory, of heroism
With the blood, yet hot, streaming down the staff,
Followed by the rifles, drunk with war-spirit;
Lo! the ensign falls, but the flag proceeds
Onwards on the shoulder of another;
Under his feet swell heaps of warriors
Perished in battle; but he falters not.
The flesh hankers for contacts of pleasure,
The senses for enchanting strains of song,
The mind hungers for peals of laughter sweet,
The heart pants to reach realms beyond sorrow;
Say, who cares exchange the soothing moonlight
For the burning rays of the noontide sun?
The wretch whose heart is like the scorching sun,
—Even he fondly loves the balmy moon;
Indeed, all thirst for joy. Breathes there the wretch
Who hugs pain and sorrow to his bosom?
Misery in his cup of happiness,
Deadly venom in his drink of nectar,
Poison in his throat—yet he clings to hope!
Lo! how all are scared by the Terrific,
None seek Elokeshi whose form is Death.
The deadly frightful sword, reeking with blood,
They take from Her hand, and put a lute instead!
Thou dreaded Kâli, the All-destroyer,
Thou alone art true; Thy shadow’s shadow
Is indeed the pleasant Vanamâli.
O Terrible Mother, cut quick the core,
Illusion dispel—the dream of happiness,
Rend asunder the fondness for the flesh.
True, they garland Thee with skulls, but shrink back
In fright and call Thee, “O All-merciful!”
At Thy thunder peal of awful laughter,
At Thy nudeness—for space is thy garment—
Their hearts sink down with terror, but they say,
“It is the demons that the Mother kills!”
They only pretend they wish to see Thee,
But when the time comes, at Thy sight they flee.
Thou art Death! To each and all in the world
Thou distributest the plague and disease
—Vessels of venom filled by Thine own hands.
O thou insane! Thou but cheatest thyself,
Thou cost not turn thy head lest thou behold.
Ay, the form terrible of the Mother.
Thou courtest hardship hoping happiness,
Thou wearest cloak of Bhakti and worship,
With mind full of achieving selfish ends.
The blood from the severed head of a kid
Fills thee with fear—thy heart throbs at the sight—for contacts of pleasure , , the heart pants to reach realms beyond . /
Verily a coward! Compassionate?
Bless my soul! A strange state of things indeed!
To whom shall I tell the truth?—Who will see?
Free thyself from the mighty attraction—
The maddening wine of love, the charm of sex.
Break the harp! Forward, with the ocean’s cry!
Drink tears, pledge even life—let the body fall.
Awake, O hero! Shake off thy vain dreams,
Death stands at thy head—does fear become thee?
A load of misery, true though it is—
This Becoming—know this to be thy God!
His temple— the Shmashân among corpses
And funeral pyres; unending battle —
That verily is His sacred worship;
Constant defeat — let that not unnerve thee;
Shattered be little self, hope, name, and fame;
Set up a pyre of them and make thy heart
A burning-ground.
And let Shyâmâ dance there.

¶¶ The Central Idea of the Poem : Bengali version like, the English version of the poem “And LetShyama Dance There , which is translated by Swami Vivekananda, have also four stanzas. First two stanzas are smaller than the 3 rd stanza . The length of the staza 1, 2, and 4 th stanza is almost same.
¶¶ The Saint poet portrays the beautiful pictures of the Nature in the first stanza .
‘Beautious blossoms ravishing with perfume’, ”maddened bees bazzing all around’, ‘ showering sweet smile of the silver moon ‘, ‘ the soft Malaya breeze ‘, ‘murmuring rivers and brookes’, ‘Bhramaras wheeling over gently waving lotuses’ , foaming flow cascades – a streeming music , ‘ sweet flowing melody, ‘ love discourse’, the painter divine’, ‘the canvas earth and a wealth of colour,’ – all these words made a nice picture of the nature. The earth has been flooded with the spring . And naturally waking up the sentiments of sea in the earth. This is good side of the life . We enjoy the life with the outer sparking , but it’s half true. We have to face sorrows and pains too. Life is not bed of roses, we too have to face the thrones of life. Like nature , the life is full of struggle.
¶¶ In the 2nd stanza , the poet compares the hardship of life with the horror of Nature. It is just opposite of the first stanza . Here he painted a dark and horrible scinerio to express the monster form of the life – struggle. ‘ Blood red terrific lightening’, ‘the roll of thunder,’ ‘the crashing clouds’ are the elements of war which prevails in the nature , . The Saint poet uses some beautiful images to show the dreadful forms of Nature. These images are taken from the natural world. It beautifies the inner meaning of lines. We can refer here some of these images which are beautifully presented by the poet, like ‘ darkness vomiting forth blinding darkness’ , ‘ the Prolaya winds angrily roaring,’ ‘ blood-red terrific lightening ‘ , ‘ monster waves roaring like thunder’ . He used compound imagery in this poem. These are extraordinary remarkable.
¶¶ First three lines of the poem percepts sound, smell and sight respectively and forth and fifth line create the sense of mundane bliss and pleasure, showered on the earth by some divine power. The poet is superb in applying wonderful imagery which proves his mastery over language. By using these imageries he portrays prominently the apparent diversity with innate unity in Mother Kali or Shyama and Nature’s peaceful and fierce glance.Swami Vivekananda unfolds in this poem the world of consciousness which makes a criss cross of nature and the mind of man with the play of passion and desire in spontaneity. The apparent clamness is itself a bold suggestions for the human mind to welcome the events to follow as an outcome .
¶¶ 3rd stanza of the poem is very important in respect of the central idea or as the theme of the poem. In this stanza, the poet prepares us for the terrible atmosphere where Shyama or Kali would dance in full fury . But before that he paints a comfort journey of life where he tells us the inherent desire of man like making a lovely villa on the lakeside where water lilies are heading towards sky . He also used some pictorial elements as portrayed through symbols in the ” heart – blood ” of the ripe grapes with foams as caps has also the elements of consciousness with which the poet prepares us to face the challenges of life . He portrays the furious form of a Divine Mother and Her destructive activities. Amid the supernatural atmosphere that symbolises the conscious vision of terror , the imagery like ” Bimba – red lips ” and the ocean like two blue eyes ” along with the ” bird – like captive heart bring forth a perfect image of Shyama or Kali . It’s she who dominates the whole situation with brilliance beyond the range of consciousness. The Saint poet further detailing the atmosphere of the battlefield . We have read the battle of Kurukhetra in Srimod Bhwagbat Gita . We are to face every now and then this war in our lives. Battle is nothing but the struggle with our inner world verses outer world. This battle is also the another form of Mother Kali. Kali , actually the deity of destruction. The poet paints a horrible picture of the battlefield. “The roar of cannons, the rattle of guns”, ” the thundering artilleries vomits fire”, “the earth trembles under this infarnal dance “, “And rain of of bullets, forward goes the flag “, The emblem of victory, of heroism ,/ With the blood , yet hot , /streaming down the staff ” all these words are used for expressing the furious of battlefield . Truely, this material world is full of struggle. It’s a battlefield . We fight for the worldly pleasure, for sensual love and we become wounds . The mind hungers for peals of laughter sweet , The flesh hankers for contacts of pleasure, the heart pants to reach realms beyond sorrow – all these are the characteristics of material world. Next Swamiji describes the figure of Kali
After every happiness comes misery; they may be far apart or near. The more advanced the soul, the more quickly does one follow the other. What we want is neither happiness nor misery. Both make us forget our true nature; both are chains — one iron, one gold; behind both is the Atman, who knows neither happiness nor misery. These are states and states must ever change; but the nature of the Soul is bliss, peace, unchanging. We have not to get it, we have it; only wash away the dross and see it.
Stand upon the Self, then only can we truly love the world. Take a very, very high stand; knowing out universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of the world. It is but baby’s play, and we know that, so cannot be disturbed by it. If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame. All pleasures of the senses or even of the mind are evanescent but within ourselves is the one true unrelated pleasure, dependent upon nothing. It is perfectly free, it is bliss. The more our bliss is within, the more spiritual we are. The pleasure of the Self is what the world calls religion.
The internal universe, the real, is infinitely greater than the external, which is only a shadowy projection of the true one. This world is neither true nor untrue, it is the shadow of truth. “Imagination is the gilded shadow of truth”, says the poet . The outer sparking of the world makes us forget our true nature; both are chains — one iron, one gold; behind both is the Atman, who knows neither happiness nor misery. These are states and states must ever change; but the nature of the Soul is bliss, peace, unchanging. We have not to get it, we have it; only wash away the dross and see it.
Stand upon the Self, then only can we truly love the world. Take a very, very high stand; knowing out universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of the world. It is but baby’s play, and we know that, so cannot be disturbed by it. If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame. All pleasures of the senses or even of the mind are evanescent but within ourselves is the one true unrelated pleasure, dependent upon nothing. It is perfectly free, it is bliss. The more our bliss is within, the more spiritual we are. The pleasure of the Self is what the world calls religion.
The internal universe, the real, is infinitely greater than the external, which is only a shadowy projection of the true one. This world is neither true nor untrue, it is the shadow . So Get rid , in the first place, of all these limited ideas and set God in every person. Let kick off all the veils of differentiations. The highest creed is Oneness . The ecstatic finale breathes an air of Supreme consciousness , ” This becoming know this to be thy God” and that shows the avenue of sacred worship of all the serene . Let read this lines from ” And Let Shyama Dance There” – “Bless my soul ! A strange state of things … This becoming know this to be thy God”.
Here we see Vivekananda’s heroic struggle to rise above the surging waves of the world, which is the projection of all our undigested subconscious urges . He sees and follows the path through it all , but what gives him the light and the strength to do so is the dancing form of the black One, Mother Kali.
** Next post I will discuss about the philosophy which was imparted from Master Sri Ramakrishna to his most favourite disciple, Naren ( Swami Vivekananda)
THE GOAL TO REACHING GOD
“You Should Set Goals Beyond Your Reach, So You Can Always Have Something To Live For”. – Ted Turner
” Rich High , For Stars Lie Hidden In You . Dream Deep , For Every Dream, Precedes The Goal.” – Rabindranath Tagore
Meditation Is The Gateway To Achieve
The goal to reaching God is a subject which is not for all . Only a few people like to listen or discuss about God. The cause behind it , that we are very busy in daily life to earn money for our livelihood. This is tough time to have a job or business . So life isn’t bed of roses . It’s full of struggle , notwithstanding we want to live in this world.
We love to dream numerous things which are mostly about worldly affairs to possess. We obviously dream a sweet home, a beautiful wife and also a four wheeler .. Some are highly ambitious whether they are competent or not . Perhaps they’re meritorious and fighting for a good career. They’re mostly fond of power and respect .
WHY DON’T WE HAVE GOAL TO REACH IN GOD ?
In fine, they’re being charged with their surroundings to be a good careerists. Everyday we come to know from the newspaper or TV news or net that the youths from middle Class society are cracking prestigious IAS , IPS or IFS etc . They are obviously brightening up the society.
NEUCLIUR FAMILY’S DREAM :
It’s to be seen in our society that most of the parents desire to see their sons or daughters as Doctor or Engineer, at least Professor or Scientist . At present, we are going through a nuclear family system having only one or two children. So it’s quite natural to have a big dream about their children’s careers . They’re not interested at the goal to reach out in God.
Our children, may they be male or females are now working in MNC /IT sections in India and even in aboard. So it’s a good sign of advancement we can’t deny it . In politics our women are now in forefront . We have seen Mrs Pratibha Patil as a President of of India. Mira Kumar and so many MLAs and MPs have been elected and participating in policies .
We have seen some successful woman in Banking industry whose are meticulously furnishing their duties . There are so many women Principals and Vice Chanceller in India. In military, Hospital, Space , Science, Business Industry, Factory, Airways, Schools , Autumobiles, Postal Service – everywhere they’re successful. So it’s obviously a progressing situation in society. We can say that we are going to be successful in materialistically.
But really are we progressing ?
It’s absolutely a hard task to give a reasonable answer . Progressing is an evolution process. We, the human beings through evolution process came from amoeba to human body. Man and human being , both the words have a space for explaining in respect to nature. From Man to Human being there is a process . And this process is very critical and effortive .
When Swami Vivekananda pronounced that Man is potentially divine, then it’s clear to us we have a godly power within us , but it’s covered with clouds. The Sun is in the Sky, but as it’s being covered with the clouds ,so we are unable to find it. Just as covered Sun , our divinity within is behind the materialistic world which is in deep sleep. To awaken it , is our life’s endeavour. We should have a goal to reaching at the deep consciousness which is super soul or divinity.
Practically, we do not cultivate this areas . We are always struggling in the outer surface of our lives, neglecting innermost world. In ancient India, this innerworld had been given emphasised . Our ancestors were always alert about in imparting these spiritual knowledge to their offsprings .
But today we are not serious about it. Our new generation is not aware of it. We pray to almighty for our material happiness. We are inclined to enjoy the modern amenities which are the results of advancement in science and technology. We are running towards enormous comforts in our external life , but ultimately we are lagging behind the vibrant life which is called divine life .
Rishi Aurobindo battled against British to make India to be freed. To him India, his motherland, is not a geographical or demographical land . It’s Divine Mother to him. He wrote a book, ‘Life Divine’ by name, where he expressed his spiritual thoughts on life. There he told the experiences of journey from man to human beings.
Man is a rational being. It differs us from animal . We are lucky enough as we are being blessed by it . From coarse to subtle state of knowledge passing over , or attaining a higher stage of consciousness from a lower one should be our goal. But present education system is not imparting this knowledge to us .
Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda’s education thoughts are not supported by this educational curriculum . Besides, due to modern development in communication and gadgets Indian youths are addicted to that. Bollywood world is also to some extent is responsible for the deterioration in terms of values and ethics which is not supported by our old thoughts and values.
Bigotry , nepotism, corruption, jihad , castism, terrorism , too much westernising – all these are causing loss of our inner world consciousness. Only we are in the darkness of illusion . The more these elements prevails in our society, the more we are far from the spiritual quotients . That means we are not progressing gradually from animality to rationality . So then we are near to animal .
Should it be the goal or aim of a man ? Certainly not. Like others natural elements we are also created by the God . Rivers, clouds , air , sky , planets – all these are from God , The creator. It’s not possible for a scientist to create all these. Then who created it ? There are so many opinions expressed by the scholars. But we don’t want to discuss about that. But we can’t refuse our Vedas and Upanishads. The western philosophers like Roman Rolland, Maxmuller praised this books as a treasure of spiritual thoughts. The spiritual Master of Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna emphasised on the higher knowledge or the experience of God.
What should be the aim of Life ?
To him , Knowledge is not to gain bookish education, rather it should be to attain divine knowledge. The goal of a man should be to know the divinity already within him . Swamiji’s teaching is also the same like his Master, Sri Ramakrishna. But we do reluctant to achieve this goal. Vivekananda never told to fight shy this world. They told us that you live in this world, but keep your mind on God . ……. To be continued.

“THE SECRET OF GETTING AHEAD IS GETTTING STARTED”
Today I will tell you a story about a man who got success in life by dint of hard labour and perseverance. It is saying that a man without a vision for his future, returns to his past. So everyone should have a clear goal in life. Focus on your goal and don’t look in any direction but ahead. But very often we keep it in mind .
The Secret Story :
This story is about a business who was an European, Tamas by name . He came of a poor family whose father and forefathers had a little business of shoe – making . When he was only 7 years old he had to take the training of apprentice from his father . He became expert within a year . But as ill luck would have it , his father had died after some ailments . This was very very hard time to them. Then they are three , Tomas , his elder brother and sister . They had been trying their best to manage some money for livelihood . But it was not sufficient . And then how young Tamas turned into a big business man I will discuss here.
Goal to Success and Childhood Days :
When he was a young boy he used to dream of a better future. One day he and his elder brother made a plan. This proposal was of a high dream of extension their little business into a big one . They are three : Brother – Antonin , sister Anna and Tomas himself. Tomas was then only 18 years old young guy . What’s this plan ? Actually they’re not satisfied with this tiny business. They had a small shoe shop . Mainly Tomas put a proposal and wanted to open a company where they could able to sale a big quantity of shoes. In addition, some other people would have been engaged there for salesman and official works . Some employees would be engaged in factory .Tomas Saheb was very intelligent . He had thought that if we want to have large scale production, then we should learn “Assembly Line ” which was invented by America. So he went there to be learnt.
To Be Well- equipped His Journey to America :
He believed in practicality. He had learnt it by black and white. And became skilled in this method. Returning to his native place he started production through new methods. His business got stupendously successful.
Now it has 72 factories in different parts of the world . Switzerland is its headquarters. His business flourished 100 times more than before. By this time his elder brother Antonin had died and his sister got married. Naturally she had to leave the business. Tomas alone took the business to run on .
His Ultimate Key to Success :
His utimate key to success was to write down his ambition in a diary. Never forgot it while he had been too busy. Tomas decided to make a team having selected some employees amongst his company. He thought that the business is a team work . Without teamwork, business couldn’t success. That’s why, he took initiative to distribute the profit amongst the workers . But he also mentioned a condition that if the business won’t crack then they had to take the responsibilities. That means if it runs deficit, they workers would be sufferer too like the company owner.
BATA SHOE :
Tomas Saheb is the architect and founder of the Bata Company.He died in a air crash in 1932 when he was travelling to Switzerland inaugurating a new center there. We put on the shoes of his company which is famous by the name of Bata Company.
We use the things, but we are totally unaware of the history of the architect who made it or invent it by virtue of hard labour, perseverance and huge sacrifice.
His Last Journey to Eternal Soul :
He died in a air crash in 1932 when he was travelling to reach Switzerland inaugurating a new center there. We put on the shoes of his company which is famous by the name of Bata Company. The writer named this story as ” Tamas Saheber Juto ” ( The Shoe Of Tamas Saheb ).
How we came to know this Story ?
The famous scientist and the founder of Bengal Chemical, Acharyya Prafulla Chandra Ghosh wrote the preface of this book. He also was moved by reading this inspiring story. Bibhutibhusan Bandhopaddhay, a distinguished writer of Bengali literature collected this history of the business man and wrote a novel . It was in English language, Bibhutibhusan translated in Bengali and composed the story in the form of novel. He did this work as it might inspire and influence the new generation of Bengali youths . The writer became extremely excited to publish this saga . He thought that the young job – seekers must read this story of a man who built his life and got success by virtue of hard labour and foresighting.
Hence, we can get inspiration from his great deed . A man , with little capital, by virtue of intelligency and indomitable spirit , perseverance, teamwork and untiring efforts achieved a brilliant success. So , why not we ?
To succeed in your life mission you must have a single minded devotion to your goal – The distinguished statesman, Moulana Abul Kalam Azad remarks it.
God’s Own Home
This is Paradise . Let Set out there on the way to God’s Home. You can settle down there a whole day for taking rest, or to play whole day fulfilling your desire in streach and deep pain . And to gossiping there with beautiful Nature – and with your remote friend . Might he be there in disguise of God, Sitting there alone . If you get a room on the widen field , Be seated in the solitary corner with utmost serinity mood . Greens will come to greet you. Love and hug with it. Try to sink in the deep river of consciousness , Keeping aloof all the hazardous of life. You might be benefited from this journey to God. The bed of green grass is ready to welcoming you, Sit on there as much as you can to enjoy this paradise . Walking through the valleys and mountains and on its zigzag way to meet your bossom friend , And at the end of this road, He is waiting for you , keeping his door open to embrace you . Don’t hesitate to move forward in meeting him , As He has been waiting for you for a long time to be loved and to be had lunch with you. Be face to face and exchange the sights with each other . He eagers to serving you the most favourite dishes . Don’t be hesitated to meet Him as the time will not wait for you.
Be calm, concentrate on your heart which is the temple of love and light, Don’t look at the outer sparking which is not glorious . Never streach your hands to Fame, Jewelry, or so called Prestigious posts, as these couldn’t provide you the light and peace for ever. All day long You and He, siting front to front, gazing at each other, to garnering flowers chains at each other’s neck , no serious talk to be pronounced , no blunt talks of love , nor any worldly possession matter there to have gain, We, both spend whole day bathing in the rays of glittering Sun .
