ShivKali Oracles – Adharvana Kali/Prathyangira

We all know the story of Ramayana. Meghnaad Indrajeet was a great warrior and played important part in the war. You might remember that before every war, Indrajeet would worship his deity Nikumbhila in his cave. Indrajit is one warrior who used magic and sorcery and he gained such power from sadhana. Devi Pratyangira or Adharvana is none other than this Devi Nikumbhila. She is a form of Tara Ma (who is aother manifestation of Kali). Prathyangira has four arms holding Trishul and Damaru in the right side and in the left side, she is holding a Mundamala (garland of severed heads of demons) and Ma Kali (yes, you read right- she is holding Ma Kali on one hand). Devi holds fire, moon and snake (Basuki Naag) on her head and rides a lion. She has snake in place of hair. From the description, you may say that she is also a form of Ardhanarishwar Shiv (because she has Trishul, damaru, moon, holds Kali, has snakes). Prathyangira is a secret form of Tara and even a Kali Sadhak is afraid to worship her, the reason being her bad temper. If her worship is not done properly, the full family of Sadhak will be demolished. Any Kali sadhana needs a guru (this is why I am not writing any mantra here), a normal family person should never worship this form of Kali in home. A person who commits dishonesty, should not worship this form. If an honest sadhak worships this devi, his life will be full of abundance.
