Kali est la plus redoutable des consorts de Shiva. Elle est représentée comme étant de couleur bleu foncé avec des yeux féroces et flamboyants. Kali est généralement représentée avec un visage terrifiant, la langue proéminente, portant un collier de crânes ou de têtes humaines et une ceinture de bras coupés. Dans une main, elle tient une épée, dans les autres, elle peut tenir la tête coupée d'un démon, un bouclier ou un nœud coulant ; ses mains peuvent également faire le signe de l'absence de peur et offrir des bénédictions et des bienfaits.
L'apparence effrayante de Kali symbolise son pouvoir illimité. Son pouvoir destructeur est perçu comme menant en fin de compte à la transformation et au salut. L'objet de sa colère n'est pas la forme extérieure de l'homme, mais ses illusions intérieures. Elle brise les illusions de l'ego et détruit l'ignorance, tout en apportant des bénédictions à ceux qui cherchent à connaître Dieu. Elle détruit la forme et la substance des créations humaines (par le feu blanc, la foudre bleue et l'action de son épée) qui ne sont pas alignées sur la volonté de son consort, libérant ainsi ceux qui recherchent la connaissance de Dieu. Kali est un symbole de destruction, mais elle accorde des bénédictions à ceux qui recherchent la connaissance de Dieu, et elle est vénérée par ses fidèles comme la Mère Divine.
Shiva est parfois représenté en train de danser sur des terrains de crémation, appelés "burning ghats". Le sol brûlant symbolise le cœur dénué de tout désir, car l'ego et l'illusion ont été brûlés. C'est pourquoi le véritable ascète cherche à faire de son cœur un sol brûlant, afin que Shiva puisse y demeurer et y danser.
Comme Shiva, Kali danse dans le cœur des dévots qui se sont purifiés par le renoncement. Un célèbre hymne bengali adressé à Kali dit : "Parce que tu aimes la terre brûlante, j'ai fait de mon cœur une terre brûlante, afin que toi, le Ténébreux, hantise de la terre brûlante, tu puisses danser ta danse éternelle".
L'État indien du Bengale est la terre de la plus profonde dévotion à Kali. [Ramakrishna était l'un de ses célèbres dévots bengalis. Il considérait Kali comme une manifestation de la plus haute réalité, qui ne fait qu'un avec Brahman. Paramahansa Yogananda, le saint et yogi bengali qui est venu vivre en Amérique, a également eu de profondes expériences avec Kali, qui a entendu et répondu à ses prières.

Kali a dit :
I am Kali! I move in the earth. I turn over the earth. I go under the earth. And I collect the heads of those who have counted themselves as the ego incarnate.
I come, I move; and at the end of the hour I shall know whom I shall go after for the binding of the substance of that human ego. Be prepared to be stripped of it, for this is my coming. If you accept me, then you will know the absence of self-importance and a tremendous energy of empowerment that you may or may not receive, but you may in turn look for it, seek it, find it, internalize it.
I am the manifestation of the feminine deity. I am dark; I am deep blue in color. I have no patience for those who move with the ego, but I come to those who would be the Divine Mother. I come to those who would receive Shiva. I come to those who have profound understanding of aeons upon aeons of their evolution, recognizing that this is an hour when the door may open and the door may receive you and the door may also be shut.
Therefore, remember Kali. Remember the dance of Kali. Remember the burning ghat. Remember the ashes. Remember that all that is not Real must go into the flame!
If you would have empowerment, seek it, find it. The vessel of empowerment is seated in the throne of grace, in the majesty of love. Love, then, is the key to Kali.
I am ferocious, for I go after my own. Understand this, beloved. When you see me moving about, know that I come to shatter, to shatter, to shatter again all of the old molds, that you might find that Spirit of the living God, that you might find Reality, that you might find all that is there that has been waiting for you.
Take the nature of your feminine divinity. Expand it until an entire cosmos knows you as Kali. Know me as that Kali, beloved. Know me as that fierce one. For I get things done. And I am the annihilator of all and anything that is not worthy of keeping....
I remember your beginnings and I remember what they were like. I shall see you in your endings, but I pray that your endings will be eternal beginnings forever. May you ever know and forever know those eternal beginnings, that you might move and move again and again.
Why is there a trinity of deities all female? It is because within ourselves we carry such a momentum of intensity of sacred fire. Therefore we are called and we respond to Lord Shiva. We respond because we understand the layers upon layers upon layers of the human consciousness that are consumed, and the records that follow suit.
I have a very good reason for being on earth, for the dead and the dying need my healing, my presence. And I set them straight, beloved. I am not a cruel Goddess, but I am a Goddess of no-nonsense. I am one who can take you to the stars. I am one who moves with El Morya, the chohans, the Elohim. I am feminine ray in manifestation. I am circle upon circle upon circle of divine Being. I know eternal life, as I have said, and I know death and hell.
Which one do you suppose is real? Which one, indeed, beloved. Is eternal life real? It is only real if you keep it real, compound it and make it real, that the incorruptible might realize that the corruptible must be slain.
Know this, beloved: there is no transformation unless you enter into transformation. And transformation is self-transcendence. And self-transcendence is entering into the pearl of great price, entering into the heart of God.[1]
Kali’s bija mantra is Krim (pronounced kreem). Another mantra honoring Kali is Om Krim Kalikaye Namaha.
