"We love Kali because she took mercy."

"But so did I. So did I- don't you see? I took mercy on myself. Nobody else would. So I saved myself from grief, I did what was needed. I took mercy on me. I took mercy on me."

A stunning collection of poetry!

Man, every single poem was beautiful and DHUMAVATI made me tear up. MATANGI as well, since the idea of a goddess who will embrace every impurity does strange things to my heart.

"I took mercy on myself. Nobody else would. So I saved myself from grief, I did what was needed. I took mercy on me. I took mercy on me."

It's not often that I get to read poems based on Hindu mythology. I'm glad this exists.
