Long before the Holy Trinity of Christianity, there was a Holy Trinity in Hinduism. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The name of the last two almost make an anagram, while the gods are antagonistic. One is creation (of illusion), one is destruction. A cycle.
Each have a consort and i will only mention Parvati, the wife of Shiva, representing shakti, the feminine energy. Kali is her reincarnation and is the goddess of time, death, sex, violence, name it. Worse than Shiva. In fact she was/is so bad she subdued him, so in most representations she steps on him.
However it gest a bit confusing when we remember Shiva is also represented stepping (possibly chocking) on something, which many identify the demon Apasmara.
Today Indians are not so proud of Kali. In Britannica it is said she is marginally worshiped. I always thought they reverted the name Calcutta to Kolkata to erase memories of the colonial past. However now i believe it is not the case. They are trying to conceal the true etymology.
It is said Kali was created to destroy the evil demons and one of them was Raktabija (with many different spelling variants). This demon (asura) had this feature that every drop of his blood shed in battle will turn into a new demon and was hard to fight. For that, Kali would stick out her tongue and lick all the blood.
Could this be the reason the thugs were only killing by suffocating their victims, believing they were reincarnations of Raktabija? How many people the thugs committed before they were suppressed by the British?
I am not trying to say the current (Eurocentric) world of illusions we live in is the creation of the thugs. It goes back much farther, since the time of religious orders within Catholic Church.
Could this be the reason Inquisition which may be rooted in Shaivism used fire as punishments against what they called witches (demons)?
Could this be the reason for gas chambers?
Do they smoke the building, dance Shiva's dance upstairs, trying to kill a reincarnation of Apasmara?
