He was the pioneer of Satyagraha
â€” the resistance of tyranny
through mass civil disobedience,
firmly founded upon ahimsa or total non-violence â€”
which led India to independence
and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom
across the world.

hey look,
kali claims greenman
head

There is an interesting story about how Shiva stops Kali
from her frenzy. In Kali's most famous myth,
Durga and her assistants, the Matrkas, wound the demon Raktabija.
But with every blood that is spilt from Raktabija,
the demon reproduces a copy of himself.
The battlefield becomes increasingly filled with his duplicates.
Durga, in dire need of help, summons Kali to combat
the demons. Kali destroys Raktabija by suckling the blood
from his body and putting the many Raktabija duplicates in her gaping mouth.
An overjoyed Kali starts dancing on the battlefield,
stepping on the corpses of the slain.
Her consort Shiva lies among the dead beneath her feet.
Kali, becoming drunk on the blood of her victims on the battlefield,
dances with destructive frenzy.
In her fury she fails to see the body of her husband Shiva
who lies among the corpses on the battlefield.
Ultimately the cries of Shiva attract Kali's attention,
calming her fury.
As a sign of her shame at having disrespected her husband in such a fashion,
Kali sticks out her tongue and stops her frenzy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuga wrote:The traditional virtues accorded highest value in the four epochs are

1. Satya Yuga or Krita Yuga - dhyana (meditation)
2. Treta Yuga - yajna (sacrifice)
3. Dvapara Yuga - archana (worship)
4. Kali Yuga - daana (alms)

...
In the lowest phase,
Kali Yuga,
most people are aware only of the physical aspect of existence,
the predominant emphasis of living is material survival

when i find more ambition
to embrace aspects of kali
than to move on to satya
WHY ARGUE WITH THE MANIFESTORS!?!

if they seek a personae of femaleness and maleness in balance,
whereas given an incapacitated maleness holding up tongue-stickingout-femaleness,
perhaps arguing isn't the way out of this so-called "kali-yuga",
and we merely inevitably set minds towards the kalki consort...
have yet to come across a presupposed name for that one...
nor a figure, lest she be hidden as a horse

As a sign of her shame at having disrespected her husband in such a fashion,
Kali sticks out her tongue and stops

for emphasis:

the kalki consort...
