Goddess Kali didn't kill Lord Siva in Indian legend. Lord Siva has no choice but lie on the ground to prevent the destruction of the universe when mother Kali performed the destructive dance after killing a demon king Rakavija. King Rakavija is a demon who obtained boon from Lord Brahma that every drop of blood from his body reincarnated thousands of King Rakavija. In order to kill those reincarnations Goddess Durga through her meditation created Goddess Kali. After drinking the blood of the king Rakavija she couldnt control herself and killed anyone who crossed her path. When she saw her husband under her feet she immediately stop the dance.According to Hindu's believes and tradition, Goddess Kali is primodial energy and Lord Siva is supreme soul.

Kali atau Kālī adalah sakti (istri) Dewa Siwa. Kali biasanya digambarkan sebagai seorang wanita berkulit hitam dan berwajah mengerikan; berlumuran darah dan berkalungkan tengkorak serta ular. Dewi Kali merupakan lambang kematian.

Berkalung tengkorak sebagai lambang kematian. Wajahnya mengerikan simbol bahwa kematian ditakuti manusia. Lidahnya menjulur keluar sebagai simbol bahwa tiada hari tanpa kematian, kematian selalu lapar, setiap orang akan ditelan maut. Bersama Siwa, Dewi Kali bertugas melebur segala makhluk yang sudah tak layak hidup di dunia.

Kali Puja atau Shyama Puja adalah festival untuk memuja dewi Kali dalam agama Hindu. Festival ini dirayakan pada hari pertama bulan Ashwin.[1] Festival ini ebrtepatann dengan hari Lakshmi Puja dari Diwali di India. Sementara banyak orang India memuja dewi Lakshmi, orang Bengali, Oriyas dan Assamese memuja dewi Kali.

Pada Kali Puja (seperti juga di Durga Puja) orang-orang menyembah dewi Kali di rumah mereka dalam bentuk patung tanah liat yang diletakkan di pandal (tempat suci atau paviliun tebuka). Dewi Kali disembah pada malam hari dengan ritual Tantra dan mantra-mantra. Pesembahan untuknya antara lain bunga kembang sepatu merah, darah binatang dalam tengkorak, manisan, nasi dan kacang lentil, serta ikan dan daging. Para pemujanya melakukan meditasi sepanjang malam sampai fajar.[5] Ada juga tradisi Brahmanica ketika patung Kali didandani dalam wujudnya sebagai Adya Shakti Kali.[6] Pada hari Kali Puja, dilakukan pengorbanan hewan untuk sang dewi.[1] Sebuah perayaan Kali Puja di Kolkata diselenggarakan di tanah pembakaran mayat yang luas,[7] yang dipercaya sebagai tempat berdiam dewi Kali.

The love between the Divine Mother and her human children is a unique relationship. Kali, the Dark Mother is one such deity with whom devotees have a very loving and intimate bond, in spite of her fearful appearance. In this relationship, the worshipper becomes a child and Kali assumes the form of the ever-caring mother.

"O Mother, even a dullard becomes a poet who meditates upon thee raimented with space, three-eyed, creatrix of the three worlds, whose waist is beautiful with a girdle made of numbers of dead men's arms..." (From a Karpuradistotra hymn, translated from Sanskrit by Sir John Woodroffe)

Who is Kali?
Kali is the fearful and ferocious form of the mother goddess. She assumed the form of a powerful goddess and became popular with the composition of the Devi Mahatmya, a text of the 5th - 6th century AD. Here she is depicted as having born from the brow of Goddess Durga during one of her battles with the evil forces. As the legend goes, in the battle, Kali was so much involved in the killing spree that she got carried away and began destroying everything in sight. To stop her, Lord Shiva threw himself under her feet. Shocked at this sight, Kali stuck out her tongue in astonishment, and put an end to her homicidal rampage. Hence the common image of Kali shows her in her mêlée mood, standing with one foot on Shiva's chest, with her enormous tongue stuck out.

The Fearful Symmetry
Kali is represented with perhaps the fiercest features amongst all the world's deities. She has four arms, with a sword in one hand and the head of a demon in another. The other two hands bless her worshippers, and say, "fear not"! She has two dead heads for her earrings, a string of skulls as necklace, and a girdle made of human hands as her clothing. Her tongue protrudes from her mouth, her eyes are red, and her face and breasts are sullied with blood. She stands with one foot on the thigh, and another on the chest of her husband, Shiva.

Awesome Symbols!
Kali's fierce form is strewed with awesome symbols. Her black complexion symbolizes her all-embracing and transcendental nature. Says the Mahanirvana Tantra: "Just as all colors disappear in black, so all names and forms disappear in her". Her nudity is primeval, fundamental, and transparent like Nature — the earth, sea, and sky. Kali is free from the illusory covering, for she is beyond the all maya or "false consciousness." Kali's garland of fifty human heads that stands for the fifty letters in the Sanskrit alphabet, symbolizes infinite knowledge.

Her girdle of severed human hands signifies work and liberation from the cycle of karma. Her white teeth show her inner purity, and her red lolling tongue indicates her omnivorous nature — "her indiscriminate enjoyment of all the world's 'flavors'." Her sword is the destroyer of false consciousness and the eight bonds that bind us.

Her three eyes represent past, present, and future, — the three modes of time — an attribute that lies in the very name Kali ('Kala' in Sanskrit means time). The eminent translator of Tantrik texts, Sir John Woodroffe in Garland of Letters, writes, "Kali is so called because She devours Kala (Time) and then resumes Her own dark formlessness."

Kali's proximity to cremation grounds where the five elements or "Pancha Mahabhuta" come together, and all worldly attachments are absolved, again point to the cycle of birth and death. The reclined Shiva lying prostrate under the feet of Kali suggests that without the power of Kali (Shakti), Shiva is inert.

Forms, Temples and Devotees
Kali's guises and names are diverse. Shyama, Adya Ma, Tara Ma and Dakshina Kalika, Chamundi are popular forms. Then there is Bhadra Kali, who is gentle, Shyamashana Kali, who lives only in the cremation ground, and so on. The most notable Kali temples are in Eastern India — Dakshineshwar and Kalighat in Kolkata (Calcutta) and Kamakhya in Assam, a seat of tantrik practices. Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Vamakhyapa, and Ramprasad are some of the legendary devotees of Kali. One thing was common to these saints — all of them loved the goddess as intimately as they loved their own mother.

"My child, you need not know much in order to please Me.
Only Love Me dearly.
Speak to me, as you would talk to your mother,
if she had taken you in her arms."

In Hinduism, Kali is one of the three principle gods alongside Brahma and Shiva. The representations of Kali are generally quite gruesome, usually including a necklace of human heads and holding a sword dripping with blood. She is one of the few deities to whom animal sacrifice is still offered.

But to many Hindus, she is revered as a "mother" goddess and the personification of the feminine force in nature.

While some may think how is it that it is rational for a gruesome diety like Kali to be symbolized as "Mother", we should remember, in Nature, the most dangerous and terrifying "creature" could usually be a female, especially a Mother.

A female polar bear will charge even hunters or anyone who threatens its offspring, and that goes for other female species as well - like water buffalo (which seen taking on tigers), elephants and many more docile creatures. Also, many of the female in insects are usually bigger than the male as well.

So in that context, Goddess Kali is reminding us - do not challenge female by thinking that they are weaker. They can burn the whole world down if they get pissed.

And for some reason - I like it.

Yup. Like a Mother protecting her child. Sometimes, a Mother must taken on demonic appearance and attitude to cut down those who seek to harm her child.
