The power to FACE
means that nothing is too fearsome to handle, that I am equipped with all
the powers I need to face,
whatever comes – fear or over whelming
emotions, lack of self esteem, attack
or denigration by others, situations that
seem impossible.
With this power one is able to observe and see beyond problems and difficulties.
It also gives the courage to discover a positive side to something, which seems to be totally impossible.
The power to face is ruthless and does not in any way accommodate obstacles whether they are internal or external.
Courage – One is bound by the contract of courage when one invokes this power. One is able to take a step of courage and Shiva responds with power a thousand times greater.
Determination– with true determination, qualities of mind such as peace, purity, happiness can remain stable and uninterrupted by the bumps of life.
Confidence– to face the facts of life, one needs confidence in himself, god, karma and drama.
Purpose – just like a paper can be burnt when one focuses the sun rays through a magnifying glass, so also obstacles are burnt when I have a clear purpose in life.
Goddess Kali–
Destroyer
of obstacle is the bestower of this power.
Kali wears the necklace of skulls, which signify that even death cannot dare to frighten her.
Kali is dressed in black, a symbol of being fearsome to obstacles.
Kali carries the severed headof an opponent to show that no monster shall pass her by.
In the other hand, she carries a bowl of blood of the demon to stop him multiplying with each drop that fell to the earth.
She also carries Trident of being Trinetri (one who is having the third eye to destroy the weakness of the self) and
Sword to destroy illusion.
