Radha worships Krishna who turns himself into Kali so her husband will not catch her with Krishna. Vaishnava Bauls of Birbhum worship Krishna and Kali.

Hindu tales narrate a nice story of how Krishna assumed the form of Kalee( Kali ) as a lila or divine play . The plot unflods in the puranic forest of Vrindavana where the cowherd Yadavas were peacefully residing with their much loved leader and friend , Sri Krishna.

Every night , hearing the flute of Krishna at midnight Srimati Radharani would quitely slip out from her home to secretly meet with her lover in the deep forests . However this was eventually observed by the shrewd sister in laws of Radha , Jatila and Kutila who informed her husband Ayan of his wife’s ‘adultery’.

Infuriated Ayan set off to punish the miscreant , into the deep woods . However the lord of all beings , Sri Krishna already knew what was in the air . He quickly asked Radha to pick up all the wild fruits and flowers that she could find and sit down at his feet in an worshupful gesture .

Radha obeyed to his commands and soon Krishna had himself transformed to Kali — the ishta or chosen deity of Ayan . and when Ayan finally arrived on the spot he found his wife doing puja of their family deity . Thus Srimati Radharani was saved .

In the last 500 years, shakti sadhaks of eastern India personally felt the unity of these two imoprtant forms of hindu pantheon . Many songs and poems were composed in honour of this united form which was named KRISHNA-KALI .

​In many such song the sadhak poses himself as a little child requesting his loved mother to drop her ghastly look to assume the more pleasing form of Krishna with kadamba garlands , yellow robes and enchanting crown of flowers and peacock feathers .

This day is also commemorated in Bengal as Phalaharini Kalika Puja , which takes place in the amavasya(new moon might) of jyestha(april-may) month. this is a time when india is abound with scented flowers and sweetest of fruits like mango . so it is custom to offer all seasonal fruits to Kali at this day . offering of fruits also symbolises the surrender of ego and karmic reactions of a man to the supreme .

The video shows the transformation of Kali to Krishna set in the background of a song on the subject . It was written by a nineteenth century self realized kali sadhak known as Premik Maharaj . The first few lines of the song translates as.

” My mother has become Krishna on seeing the enchanting night of full moon in the season of spring .
My black moon(Kali) has now started the divine play of holi .
ah ! behold the mesmeric beauty on her body , which is now covered with coloured holi powders and blood .
Dakini , Sakini , Yogini , Hakini and all her other companions have become mad with divine love and thus have turned to gopinis (cowherd damsels).

Krishna Gave Darshan in the form of Kali

"(Amar Ujala) Navaratri is also being celebrated at the Kali Krishna temple in Gopinath Bazaar, Vrindavan. Although Vrindavan is generally associated with Krishna worship, there is a lot of Shakti worship going on here as well.

This is why the Kali Pith at this particular temple is considered an important place of worship in Vrindavan. One of the reasons given for this is that Krishna here appeared as Kali to Shrimati Radharani.

Krishna’s two arms became four, his flute became a scimitar, and the flower garland around his neck became a garland of skulls.

Head sevait of the Krishna Kali Pith, Keshavacharyaji, tells the story: 


“Once Ayan Ghosh, Radha’s so-called husband, became doubtful that his wife was cheating on him. So one night, when Radha went to meet Krishna, he followed behind to try to catch them redhanded.

“But Krishna was aware of his plan and when Ayan came near, he took the form of Kali so that it appeared that Radha was engaged in secretly worshiping the Goddess in order to benefit her husband and his family. And so, instead of being angry with her, Ayan became respectful at seeing his devout and saintly wife engaged in religious activities on his behalf.”

The Kali Pith is said to be the place where this pastime transpired. Variations on this story can be found in other places, especially the last act of the Vidagdha-madhava."

    This blog includes anything and everything pertaining to Baul Mystical Yoga. Bauls are Oceans everything is within the Baul yet the Baul is not within anything. They are vast in their knowledge of Indian Philosophy and Yoga. They do not like rules and Regulations or orthodox, their way is the way of Peace and Love... they are Guru's, spiritual messengers, they do not collect devotee's or followers... they include the juice or Buddhism and Sufi but this does not mean they are either, they are based on Indian ancient oral teachings of Sanatana Dharma of getting free from the shackles that bind us!

    Preserving an ancient  Oral Living Lineage of Mystical Spiritual Singers and dancers of India  ' The Vaishnava Bauls of Bengal.'

    This is a lineage of Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Shakti Sadhana, Mystical Sadhana.. Bauls do not have temples, they are not beggars, people used to give them money as Dakshina for being the spiritual newspaper, before the newspaper, they are spiritual Bards, Baullywood before Bollywood... Talented, creative big walking hearts..

    "The Body is my Temple, Music is my religion..." This is a Baul saying, Babu has been saying from Birth...he was born into Music, MA in Indian Music Kolkata University, 30 years as a Bollywood Music Director.
     
    Bauls are Poets, Philosophers, Guru's, spiritual messengers, peace keepers... They are ecstatic Rasa Lila Mystics.. Lovers of  Love.. God Intoxicated Mystics.
    Krishna and Radha live in their hearts, they have hair as they believe Krishna had hair....and to shave your head is a punishment..
