Navratri Festival Special 2013 - Did you know? - Part 7

Mata Kalratri - The ruler of the dead -Hel or Hela

Mata Kalratri – The ruler of the dead – Hel or Hela

Maa Kala Ratri is the seventh among the Navadurga. Kalaratri is the one of the fiercest forms of Durga who destroys all demons. Kaal Ratri is terrifying because she is death itself. Kaal means time. Ratri is night. The dark unknown period before we are born and the dark unknown that we return to is Kaalratri.  


Mata Kalratri was present in old European Norse mythology as Hel or Hela, the goddess of the dead and queen of underworld. She can cause disease, decay and death. She, like Kaalratri does not merely represent death but is death itself.

Mother Yemaya - Skanda Mata

Skanda Mata and Mother Yemaya in the Nigerian tradition

Skandamata is Goddess Parvati in her role as mother of Lord Skanda or Kartikeya.  As Mata Rani is in her maternal aspect in this manifestation, she is believed to be extremely beneficent to devotees who seek her as Skandamata. Probably the best known depiction of the Divine Feminine as Mother comes to us in the form of the depictions of Mother Mary with Jesus among others.

The role of Supreme Mother in the Yoruba tradition of Nigeria is fulfilled by Yemaya. Yemaya is the ocean, the essence of motherhood, and a fierce protector of children. Yemaya is said to be the mother of all Gods in the Nigerian IFA tradition.
