lyrics

Kali Durge Namo Namah Kali Durge Namo Namah
Kali Durge Kali Durge Namo Namah Namo Namah

When I was a little boy, monsters lived under my bed. I was sure that if I touched the floor at night, they would eat me. So I devised an elaborate means by which to escape them, jumping from chair to desk to chest of drawers and finally onto my bed.

My mother noticed one evening, and inquired about why I was doing this. When I told her about the monsters, she agreed it was a terrible problem, but suggested another strategy: If I would sing a sweet song to them, then maybe it would soothe them to sleep and they wouldn’t hurt me.

I sang, and I felt better. As she watched over me, I cautiously made my way safely to bed. I have been singing to my monsters ever since.

Kali is an image of the demons that live in all of us, which must be faced. Terrified, we build walls to protect us, or we reach for weapons, only to compound our problems. But in the end, so often it is really sweetness that conquers the lions. Strength looking in, Compassion looking out: these are the qualities of Durga.
