“Dive into the mystical depths of Hindu devotion with Hymn to Kali, Arthur Avalon’s seminal translation of sacred verses dedicated to the fierce and compassionate Goddess Kali. This profound work bridges ancient Tantric wisdom and modern spiritual seeking, offering a poetic exploration of Kali’s dual nature—as the destroyer of ignorance and the benevolent mother of the universe.
Avalon, a pioneering scholar of Tantra, illuminates Kali’s role as the Ultimate Reality (Brahman) and the source of divine feminine power, weaving together lyrical hymns, esoteric symbolism, and insightful commentary. Revered a Bhavatarini (the redeemer of the universe), Kali emerges not just as a deity of annihilation but as a transformative force guiding devotees toward liberation.
Ideal for seekers of Hindu philosophy, devotees of the Divine Mother, and students of comparative religion, this timeless classic reveals why Kali remains central to Tantric practice and devotional movements alike.”
