Kali
is depicted with a necklace of human skulls. The human skulls signify ego. She
is shown to be victorious because she has controlled her ego and tore the veil
of cosmic illusion. This has been wrongly interpreted by many as skulls from
human sacrifice.
Goddess Kali is depicted with an
outstretched tongue just like the ancient Meso-American Sun God. The powers of
sin such as greed, lust, hate and anger always lurk in a man’s mind. These are fueled by egoistical attitude and by drinking the soma juice which is the
“drink of knowledge”, the powers of sin are killed. Decapitation is a form of
soma sacrifice. Decapitation actually refers to killing egoistical
attitudes. In the hands of persons lusting after meat and alcohol, the
meaning has been mutilated giving rise to religious beliefs that approve
human/animal sacrifices as well as the use of intoxicants. Just imagine the
sort of interpretation Hannibal Lecter would come up with & if he decided
to recruit followers to join his new cult, wouldn’t he lecture them on
partaking human flesh?
