KALI THE MOTHER is a collection of excellent essays on the Divine Mother of the Universe, written from an intensely personal point of view blended with an extraordinary metaphysical insight into the cosmic aspect of the Kali Ideal. No one who wants to understand the traditional Indian wor- ship of the Terrible in Nature as an aspect of God, can afford to miss a perusal of this brilliant study. Though written in 1897, it has a perennially absorbing interest for every reader interested in the search for the Truth in all its infinite aspects.
      The poem Kali the Mother at the end is by Swami Vivekananda
