Letters of Sri Aurobindo
3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga
Fragment ID: 19510
I have heard that the colour of Kali is black and she has four hands. But I saw her with only two hands and her colour was bright white. Why did I see her like this?
The black Kali form is a manifestation on the vital plane of Mahakali – but Mahakali herself in the Overmind is golden. What you saw was the Mother herself in her body of light with the Mahakali power in her, but not the actual form of Mahakali.
