GODDESS KALI MA\n\n- Liberator of Souls \n- Destroyer of Negativity\n\nThe name Kali derives from the Sanskrit root word Kal meaning time. Nothing escapes from time.\n\nIt is partially accurate to say the Goddess Kali Ma is a goddess of death. However, She brings the death of the ego as the delusional self-centered view of reality. Nowhere in the sriptures is She seen killing anything but demons nor is She associated exclusively with the process of human dying like Yama the Hindu god of death. Both Goddess Kali Ma and Shiva are said to inhabit cremation grounds and devotees often go to these places to meditate. The purpose is not to glorify death but to overcome the I-am-the-body idea. The cremation grounds reinforce the idea that the body is a temporary. Kali and Shiva are said to dwell in these places because it is our attachment to the body that gives rise to the ego. Kali and Shiva give liberation by dissolving the illusion of the ego.

You Mother is giving it power by believing it is bad. I am Wiccan and yes pepper can be used it a spell calls for it. But in the mean time she is giving it power my just getting so upset. There is something you can do just to ease her mind and that's to put salt around the home. Salt is pure and some see it as good luck, like when it is spill you throw it over your shoulder.  Tell her that to ease her. She is not nuts. Some old wives tails have meanings. Just keep in mind who has been in your home? I have never heard of that black pepper can do but I have never studied the dark arts just Wicca.  Good luck

Do you have a guru? Often it is your guru that will give you your personal mantra. If not, one that my guru (Her Holiness Chalanda Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi) suggests for those that do not have a personal mantra  is "Om namah shivaya". It means "I honor the God within." It's beautiful and powerful and will assist you in your transformation and enlightenment.\n \nYou may or may not know this, but you may say this to yourself silently or aloud. If you have a mala (like a rosary, a necklace with 108 prayer beads), you can repeat your mantra 16 times, or better yet, 108 times, the full mala. Do this at least 1x daily. Hopefully you have a regular practice of daily meditation already. If not, I highly recommend it. It's truly life-changing.\n\nIf you are meditating, perhaps you may try different mantras and something else will feel better for you as a personal mantra. Of course, you can always just chant "OM' 16 or 108 times too.  \n\nIf you wish to find out more about Sai Maaji and her teachings, go to www.humanityinunity.org. She's an amazing Master and incredible being unlike any other I have met. My path has been enriched and quickened immensely since meeting with her. I am so blessed! God is so good! \n\nI hope I helped you. Namaste.

Whatever crosses you bear are Karmic lessons you are  working on and thus learning from. If you do so willingly with a loving, heart with patience, and tolerance, without prejudice or preference, without animosity, hate, or greed then you will succeed and your karmic debt per situation will be nil and void. What you are trying to master is to not create karma, which can only be done by learning what not to think or do and doing that. 'tis complex to be sure. My favorite book explains it better, "Thinking and Destiny," by Harold W. Percival. I wonder if you're a master already and are but testing us neophytes?

This is a Zen teaching story called "The Gift of Insults"\n\nThere once lived a great warrior. Though quite old, he still was able to defeat any challenger. His reputation extended far and wide throughout the land and many students gathered to study under him.\nOne day an infamous young warrior arrived at the village. He was determined to be the first man to defeat the great master. Along with his strength, he had an uncanny ability to spot and exploit any weakness in an opponent. He would wait for his opponent to make the first move, thus revealing a weakness, and then would strike with merciless force and lightning speed. No one had ever lasted with him in a match beyond the first move.\n\nMuch against the advice of his concerned students, the old master gladly accepted the young warrior's challenge. As the two squared off for battle, the young warrior began to hurl insults at the old master. He threw dirt and spit in his face. For hours he verbally assaulted him with every curse and insult known to mankind. But the old warrior merely stood there motionless and calm. Finally, the young warrior exhausted himself. Knowing he was defeated, he left feeling shamed.\n\nSomewhat disappointed that he did not fight the insolent youth, the students gathered around the old master and questioned him. "How could you endure such an indignity? How did you drive him away?" \n\n"If someone comes to give you a gift and you do not receive it," the master replied, "to whom does the gift belong?"

There are four laws of karma:\n1. Karma is fixed.\n2. Karma increases.\n3. Karmic results are only experienced by one who created the cause for that experience.\n4. Karmic seeds do not lose their potency of their own accord.\n\nRegarding #2 - both positive and negative karmic results increase in potency unless they are obstructed. Positive results can be obstructed by anger, and other negative actions. Negative results can be obstructed through the directed positive actions of our Dharma practice, the Four Opponent Powers and so forth.\n\nRegarding #4 - 'of their own accord' means that unless we intervene with directed positive Dharma actions to purify and transform negative actions, those actions will never lose potency. They will perpetually have the power to bring us suffering.\n\nWe carry the karmic seeds of our actions around with us until we transform (purify) them, or until they meet the right causes and conditions to ripen. It is said that most of the karma that we create in this lifetime will ripen in future.\n\nBuddhist do not believe in an eternal soul. It is the mind-stream, not the soul, which goes through rebirth and cycles in existence. The mind-stream is ever-changing though, like the Ganges River.\n\nThe Buddha stated three things which are misunderstandings about karma ---that everything:\n1) Is here due to no reason\n2) Is the creation of a god\n3) Is completely controlled by karma (so it becomes like a fate).\n\nWe can go on and on about how people suffer, whether someone is born without an arm or whether one is persecuted during a war or holocaust. I think the misunderstanding is the person who asked you the question is assuming that karma is a fate system. Karma is not a fate system.\n\nKarma plants a seed, and when certain conditions are around, that karmic seed ripens. Your life is not predetermined.\n\nIf one assumes any of those "three misunderstandings" the question seems right. If everything is here due to no reason, it would be a very sad that someone is born in a very bad condition. If everything is due to a God's creation, it is horrible that God allowed this to take place and allowed such bad conditions to take place. If everything is a fate system, then we are merely robots who have not much control over the outcome of anything.\n\nBut Buddha taught none of these, and karma does not fall into these misunderstandings. The seed for the particular karma was present and was able to ripen under the conditions (such as an unhealthy maternity)... not because it was predetermined!

That's a bit more complicated than you think to answer. The basic beliefs are that there is one Divinity (God) from which everything in the universe manifested. Everything! That the soul reincarnates over and over again until it reaches moksha. Moksha is the liberation from samsara and union with God. Samsara is the cycle of birth, death, birth, death, birth, death, etc. Karma (Sanskrit word that means "action") is also a belief. Karma is the fuel for samsara. The Law of Karma is basically a lot like the Law of Cause and Effect in science. Every action (physical, word, or thought) produces effects that cause other actions that eventually have an effect on you. Hindus believe that there is a heaven, but that it is temporary. That it is projected by your consciousness, Eventually your desires and karma cause you to incarnate again in another body. While the entire universe manifested from God (thus it's true inner nature is also divine) God also still pervades the universe as well. God is then both formless and multiform; nameless and all names. Hindus believe that you can call God by whatever name you desire and you can use whatever symbols/forms you desire to help you to pray to God and worship God. \n"There is only one God, though humanity calls It by many names." Rig Veda 1:164.46\n\nSome great websites about Hinduism that I, as a Hindu, recommend are:\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/religion\nhttp://www.hindukids.org\nhttp://www.hindunet.com\nhttp://www.sacred-texts.com\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org\nhttp://www.himalayanacademy.org\n\nSome great books about Hinduism are\n"The Complete Idiot's Guide To Hinduism"\n"Windows Into The Infinite : A Guide To Hindu Sacred Texts"\n"Am I A Hindu?"\n"Paths To God : Living The Bhagavad Gita"\n\nHope this helps

"(iv) Garuda Purana. This is in the form of instructions to Garuda by Vishnu. This deals with astronomy, medicine, grammar, and with the structure and qualities of diamonds. This Purana is dear to Vaishnavites. The latter half of this Purana deals with life after death. The Hindus of north-India generally read this Purana while cremating the bodies of the dead. This has given great importance to the origin of Garuda. There are eight thousand verses in this book. This book should be given as gift along with an image in gold of a swan to get prosperity. \n\n \n\nSubject of Bhagavad-gita; reincarnation; vishnu-sahasranama; description of Tarsya Kalpa.\n\n \n\n19,000 verses.

Hinduism gives women full rights of inheritance to unmarried girls of the family equal to male members. in Islam females get only 1/3rd.\n\nIn Hinduism married women got inheritance in form of dowry at the time of their marriage. On this dowry and all the jewellery and other gifts were her Stri Dhan(women's property) and she had full control over it.\n\nIf a man spends any part of her wife's money in emergency he has to return that Stri Dhan with interest.\n\nBesides that a man is supposed to hand over his daily income to his wife as she is "Grih Lakshmi" Goddess of wealth.It is one of the marriage vows.\n\nA Hindu married man can not perform Puja without his wife. At the time of Puja woman takes precedent and sits at right side.\n\nHindu women did not used to change their family name after marriage. It is a western custom. Seeta was Janki And Draupadi was daughter of Drupad.\n\nIn fact male heroes are regularly identified with their mother's name in ancient books e.g. Arjuna is called Parth (son of Pritha- Kunti)\n\nShakti is the divine feminine power found in everything. Hinduism is not a male-dominated religion. It is a culture whose only words for strength and power are feminine -- ``shakti'' means ``power'' and ``strength.'' All male power comes from the feminine. And Shakti is the fundamental strength of the feminine that infuses all life and is viewed as a goddess.\n\nShe is the Saraswati(goddess of knowledge).\n\nWomen have contributed to Vedas and Gargi, Matreyee are among most respected philosophers.\n\nHinduism is much older than most religions. Ancient Hindu law gives much more rights than Islam.\n\n In fact position of females in society was much degraded after the Islam entered India. Many restrictions, parada, child marriage were direct result of Muslim invasion. So was the Sati system which got popularity among Rajputs women to get away from harems of  Muslim conquerors.\n\nMost pagan cultures were nature and mother goddess related religions. They regularly respected female and they have all kinds of rights.

magic that powerful is very dificult to control and can have severe karmic consequences.  Be careful what you ask for you just might get it.
