Devotional Poem Dedicated to Maa Dakshin Kalika Highlights Her Role as the Bestower of Liberation
Dehradun: A spiritually rich and self-composed devotional poem titled “Maa Dakshin Kalika: The Bestower of Liberation” by Akhilesh Chandra Chamola of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand has drawn attention among devotees and literary circles for its profound portrayal of Goddess Dakshin Kalika as a destroyer of fear, remover of obstacles, and giver of salvation.
The composition describes the fierce outer form of Maa Kalika while emphasizing her compassionate and maternal nature within. The poet presents her as the eternal primordial energy of the universe, worshipped by devotees across the sacred land of Uttarakhand.
Through symbolic references to her dark complexion, flowing hair, garland of severed heads, and divine sword, the poem interprets the spiritual significance of Goddess Kalika as the force that destroys ego, ignorance, and worldly bondage. It also highlights the belief that even Lord Shiva remains inert without the power of Shakti.
The verses further state that sincere chanting of “Om Kreem Kalikayai Namah” can dispel negativity and lead devotees toward spiritual upliftment and liberation. The poem concludes by praising Maa Dakshin Kalika as both the provider of worldly happiness and the granter of ultimate moksha.
