    About this ebook

    Goddess Kali is the foremost of the ten Mahavidyas. The ignorant often associate her with death, destruction and uncontrollable rage. Among the most extreme ways of her worship is a path that goes through the Shmashan, the cremation ground. I chose that path despite being unprepared by worldly standards and took the deepest plunge in the spiritual ocean. This book is about the experience of my dive.

      Kali - Ashish Marathe

      Audacious Adventurer

      It's dark outside. I can't see a thing. It will be over soon. When the Sun rises, the darkness will make way for a shiny world. The colors that I find soothing will replace this barren environment. My senses will experience familiarity. I know, everything will be normal again.

      It's dark inside. I never could see a thing and yet, I can see everything I need to see. The Sun never rises here. Hence, there are no shadows and no mirages.

      There are things that come and go, inconsistent prickles that become whatever they receive. As memories of past pleasures, they can be potent catalysts for pain. Manifested as anguish, they intensify the agony. With attention, they become important; ignored they lose their punch.
