Ngokuqondene nento enjengenxephezelo yabasebenzi baseholidini, kunezimo lapho kungavunyelwe khona ukukhokha imali elinganayo.

KÄlÄ« (/ËkÉËli/; Sanskrit: à¤à¤¾à¤²à¥, IPA: [kÉËliË]), also known as KÄlikÄ (Sanskrit: à¤à¤¾à¤²à¤¿à¤à¤¾), is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment,shakti. She is the fierce aspect of the goddess Durga (Parvati). The name Kali comes from kÄla, which means black, time, death, lord of death: Shiva. Since Shiva is called KÄlaâ the eternal time â the name of KÄlÄ«, his consort, also means "Time" or "Death" (as in "time has come"). Hence, KÄli is the Goddess of Time, Change, Power and Destruction. Although sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation of evil forces still has some influence. Various Shakta Hindu cosmologies, as well as ShÄktaTantric beliefs, worship her as the ultimate reality or Brahman. Comparatively recent devotional movements largely conceive KÄli as a benevolent mother goddess. KÄlÄ« is represented as the consort of Lord Shiva, on whose body she is often seen standing. Shiva lies in the path of Kali, whose foot on Shiva subdues her anger.
