Kālī stands at the centre of one of the most daring theological developments in Hindu philosophy.
Far beyond the popular image of a fearsome goddess adorned with skulls, she represents a profound articulation of time, dissolution, sovereignty, and liberation within Śākta and Tantric traditions.
In this sustained and text-grounded study, Dr Bhaskar Bora explores Kālī's emergence from the Devī Māhātmya through the Kālikā Purāṇa and later Tantric systems, examining:
• The evolution of fierce goddess theology
• Ritual sacrifice and sacred kingship in Assam's Śākta landscape
• Cremation-ground symbolism and mortality consciousness
• Nondual metaphysics and the identity of time (kāla) with the Goddess
• Liberation reframed as structural recognition within consciousness
Bringing together scripture, ritual analysis, historical development, and philosophical inquiry, this book restores depth to a figure too often misunderstood.
Kālī is not merely a goddess of destruction.
She is a theology of time.
She is a grammar of radical freedom.
