Re: Kali
I'm also not sure if that's entirely accurate about Maa Kali being more worshipped than other aspects of Devi. In fact, before reading this post, I had thought that it was Durga who was more widely worshipped, even though it seems like both names and forms are almost synonymous.
Ramprasad, when you say western Kali worshippers, are you speaking of westerners who follow the Shakta path of Sanatana Dharma, or western wicca practitioners who have adopted Kali as a pagan goddess? I'm not sure most of them even understand Kali's role as ego-destroyer. It saddens to me think how misunderstood Kali is in the West - either as a cruel, demonic force or merely some occultist Tantric sex goddess.
