It just occurred to me, that the chief Yoga goddess Shakti "is seen as the divine force that destroys evil and restores balance: she 'represents the cosmic energy of destruction of the ego, which stands in the way of spiritual growth and ultimate liberation.'[1] In some instances, Shakti assumes the role of Parvati, the energy and consort of Shiva; in other instances, the role of Lakshmi, the energy and consort of Vishnu. The most fearsome role Shakti plays is as Kali, the “Dark Mother” goddess, who, standing naked, wears a garland of skulls around her neck and a belt of heads around her waist, wielding a bloody sword and clutching a severed head. It is not uncommon for Yoga teachers to recommend tapping into this feminine-divine source of empowerment."
Does this sound like the goddess of abortion? And all his false promises? I mean all those cut off heads?
