Overview

"Who could forget their own mother, what to speak of the Mother of all souls? Kali, the Divine Mother of the Universe, emerges from these pages to engulf one with infinite love in this extraordinary description of Her many divine aspects. Mother Kali is the Universal Archetype, the primeval Matriarch, the all-pervasive, indivisible ocean of pure Consciousness which is simultaneously Transcendent, Immanent, and Absolute. Twenty-Four Aspects of Mother Kali represents an attempt to remind humanity of their divine parentage, of their source of origin, and of their perfect inner nature. This book is a ""must read,"" not only for aspirants and devotees, but also for followers of Eastern religion and philosophy, and for every interested advocate of the Divine Mother path, regardless of cultural bias, personal preference, or historical orientation. Each of these twenty-four aspects are philosophically and spiritually unwrapped, offering a deeply comprehensive view into the mystery of the Divine Mother, the Universal Mother, who appears as the Black Goddess of India wielding weapons and objects of transformation. In this era of distraction, of physical, mental, and existential suffering, delving into Her symbolisms helps us chart a course back to our original, pure, and peaceful nature."

I must convey my deep gratitude to Babaji for writing such a book. It is truly innovative, and highly intuitive. How does one respond to a book every sentence of which demands extensive contemplation and not a cursory reading? Babaji has written a book, the immediate impact of which in every sense of the word is inward. The fascinating and equally frightening goddess is meditated upon in this book in her varied aspects which represent the cosmos itself. The 24 aspects are evoked rather than described. ...This is a contemplative cyclopedia of the magic and mystery of Mother Kali, indispensable especially for lovers of Kali.... - Professor Shivaramkrishna, Osmania University, Hyderabad, India Babaji Bob Kindler's book: Twenty Four Aspects of Mother Kali, unpacks a deep mystery in which the form of Kali is seen to hold and offer gifts beyond measure. The classic depiction of Kali, which can look like a cartoon super hero, is ultimately revealed to be an invitation into a multidimensional field of Being. Although Her name means time - She takes us beyond the confines of time. She is wild, She is free - She is the embodiment of primal compassion. - MK McKenzie, artist The writing itself is excellent and polished and makes me want to keep reading. The book is geared toward western understanding. It comes with a glossary of Hindu terms in the back in case the reader is unfamiliar with a term that is not fully defined in the text. It is interspersed with appropriate quotations from poets writing about the Mother Kali. Even if one does not wish to worship the Divine Goddess, this book is vastly useful to western students of Indian religious culture. If one does choose to worship the Goddess Kali, then this book will definitely bring you closer to her, allowing you to focus on one aspect at a time and really get to know her full story as the Divine Mother of the Universe. - anonymous Amazon review
