#Thread on Maa Kali: Divine protector from evils and bestower of Moksha!

Amongst all  10 Mahavidya's the priority (मूलरूपा) has been given to Mata Mahakali . From the philosophical point of view, due to the predominance of Kaal tattva, Shri Kali is said to be the beginning in all the विद्या ।
There are two forms of Maa Kalika - उग्र   and सौम्य , which spread mainly in ten forms and started being called Mahavidya,Being the presiding deity of the महानिर्गुण, she is given an analogy out of darkness.
She is called 'Sundari' when she takes form of  महासगुण,

In Brihanniltantra it is said that
विद्या हि द्विविधा प्रोक्ता कृष्णा- रक्ता - प्रभेदतः ।
कृष्णा तु दक्षिणा प्रोक्ता रक्ता तु सुन्दरी मता ॥

The story of the appearance of Bhagwati Kali is described in Kalikapuran,
Markandeya Purana and Naradapancharatra.

According to Markandey Puran 87.5-24

Maa Kali was born from the forehead of Mata Ambika when she was very angry at Rakshas. Either she swall0wed whatever came in her way or she complety destr0yed it, Wearing Garland of skulls.
Ambika named her Chamunda since she destr0yed Chanda & Munda!

•According to Shivpuran   Mata Mahakali appeared on the फाल्गुन शुक्ल द्वादशी ।

•Smashan Kali: she has her left foot of Mahadev.
•Bhadra Kali: she has her right foot of Mahadev.
