Guhya means secret or hidden. No wonder why Supreme Mother chooses to manifest Herself as GuhyaKali to be one of Her forms. Come to think of it! Can anyone be capable of knowing the Mother in totality? GuhyaKali signifies all that the Mother does to remove inauspuciousness and darkness secretly without even anyone getting to know about it.

A child always finds his mother mysterious. He always keeps wondering how does his mother take care of so many things single handedly, without a frown. He always finds it uncanny to see how the mother comes running to him when called, no matter how occupied she is. Yet she manages to complete all her chores. The essence of the manifestation of Divine Mother as GuhyaKali lies in this only. It indicates that the Mother and Her ways are shrouded in mystery eternally.

There are various Tantric texts and scriptures that elaborate on the form of Maa GuhyaKali. They reveal how Maa chooses to have so and so many heads and arms wielding so and so many weapons. When it comes to worshipping Maa with rituals, an initiated devotee can follow which form to worship as instructed by the Guru. But while looking upon Her as the Mother, Maa one can only be stupefied at the zillion obscure ways She is taking care of the entire cosmos.

Maa GuhyaKali is bewildering. She secretly descends Her grace and removes ignorance and murk, brings light and prosperity, protects the virtues, bestows wisdom and knowledge, confers success in material and spiritual endeavours, keeps misfortune at bay, dispenses strength to deal with struggles and keeps watching over all Her children. She knows no rest. She is the ONE who does all this and much more and people think it is all their doing. She just smiles. One can spend lifetimes after lifetimes running pillar to post and yet cannot gauge an inch about Her. For She shall remain Guhya, a hidden secret.

Salutations to the One who prefers to be GuhyaKali!
