In ancient India, a place where mythology and reality are entwined, there lived a demon called Raktabija. It was not an ordinary demon, for every drop of his blood that fell upon the earth, gave birth to one of him innumerable and manifold. Raktabija terrorized the whole world, and not even the gods could stop him.
Desperate, the divines turned to Kali Ma, the fearsome goddess of destruction. She came to the battlefield like a night with her skin as dark as night, wearing a garland of skulls on her head, and a furious expression on her face. She danced like a mad woman, her rage aimed at the demon. Her sword cut through his monstrous form, and her burning eyes penetrated his soul. She extended her long, red tongue every time his blood dropped and drank it up to prevent his regeneration.
During a cataclysmic battle, Kali Ma defeated Raktabija and his demon army. She had saved the world from the coming doom by her strength and fearlessness. However, Kali Ma’s violent dance of destruction symbolized the chaos and salvation in the cycle of existence in Hindu mythology. Her story is a warning to all that sometimes you only win a fight with the strongest by going within and fighting your worst foe.
