Shiva was not killed. Kali was soo carried away by her dance that only her husband could stop it before the world was destroyed so he lay in her path and when she put her foot on him she stopped and stuck her tongue out in surprise hence the pictures of Kali with her tongue out.

youre lucky. youre entire pantheon of dieties is intact. you know every single detail. every ancient song. every dance. ......we were lucky to barely keep a shadow of our pantheon. we know the names, but the songs are lost. the dances gone. all the scraps are mixed into the Neo-Pagan philosophies of>> Celtic Wicca,.. The Roman - Greek Panthiest Revival,.. Scandinavian Asatru,.. and Slavic Perun.

Hemamalini, eyes and grace is so beautiful, near perfect rendition of the play. what an eternal fight between cosmic entropy and creation, inertia and agility, ego and infinite. lucky is the one who sees the play of this creation.. ..

@mistycat1 I love India and Indian culture even though I am an American. I wrote a story about an American girl names Beth who becomes the goddess Demeter. She meets a girl who name is Sephonie Dugra gives up her change to become the goddess Durga in order protect her. Beth learns who Sephonie really is when she sees her dance as Durga in High School.

Kali was about to destroy the world when Shiva challenged her to a dance contest. They kept matching each other’s dance moves until Shiva spun around on his penis. He said "You Got Served Girl" and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

@camaxtle Its not difficult you just have to get over the Abrahmic concept of God and religion...And follow the Dharma:) Welcome to the wisdom and spirituality of Hinduism:)

@camaxtle Despite centuries of Invasions, rule, every attempt by Muslims and Christians India remains Hindu. Islam and Christ both failed to destroy Hindu gods...Even today they are mad as hell on their failure:)
