 Kali - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
Kali is the fierce aspect of Devi, God's energy, i.e., Shakti or God as the Divine Mother, who is fundamental to all other Hindu deities.
Her name seems to be a female version of the word 'kala' (Sanskrit for 'time' or 'dark'); it also means Black Female, in contrast to her consort, Shiva, who is white; and Kali is the common name for Energy in her form as Shiva's wife, or Shakti.
Many people also believe her to be the same as Durga, even though this is not true as Durga is the terrible aspect of Devi, not the Shakti of Shiva.

 Shakti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
In Hinduism, Shakti is an aspect of Devi, and a personification of God as the Divine Mother who represents the active, dynamic principles of feminine power.
Mythology tells us that the Devi died of trauma and shock when her husband, Shiva, was insulted by her father, and this provoked Shiva to pick up her body on his shoulder and start a catastrophic dance that nearly destroyed the world.
Vishnu had to interfere by using his Sudarshan Chakra to cut the Devi's body up into small pieces and these fell at the 51 locations which have since become important centres of Devi's worship.
