Selections from the Sri Kali Sahasranama Stotram (1000 Names of Kali), translated by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, published in Kali Puja.
She Who Confronts the Forces of Duality
She Who Illuminates the Whole World Family
She Whose Forehead is Marked with the Vermilion of Love which Brings the Light of Wisdom
She Who Tears Apart Thought
She Who Dwells in All
She Who Creates
She Who Destroys
She Who is the Spirit of Illumination
She Whose Neck has Lines like a Conch Shell
She Who Has Disheveled Hair
She Whose Beauty Radiates the Light of Knowledge
She Who is a Young Girl
She Who is a Middle Aged Woman
She Who is an Old Woman
She Who is Beyond Age
She Whose Heart is Very Soft
She Who is the New Moon
She Who is Beyond
She Who is Hidden
She Who is Everywhere
She Who is the Beloved
She Who is the Intrinsic Nature of the Intoxicating Light of Infinite Love
She Who is the Energy that Pulls Beyond Fear
She Who Holds an Unusually Small Bell
She Who is the Life Force of the Flower Which is Born of Itself
She Who Always Moves with the Flowers of Light
She Who is the Enjoyer of Passion
She Who is the Mother of the Bliss of the Female Seed of Life
She Who is the Expression of All That Can be Expressed
She Who Causes Dissolution of the Subtle Body into the Causal Body [this is Shakta tantric lingo for the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel, expressed in the syllable krîm]
You can listen to three characteristically energetic talks by the Swami about the 1000 names here or here.

Great selection. Love "She Who Tears Apart Thought" and can identify with "She Who Has Disheveled Hair."
ReplyDeleteThese made me think of the blind men & the elephant -- how everything has so many pieces/names and yet is unified (within and among) -- and how the challenge is to not be myopic.
excellent darshan
