I love how Lord Shiva despite being the destroyer is actually very chill.
he really is, isn't he? I mean one of his names is Ashutosh which basically means one who is easily satisfied. And let's not forget Bhole Bhandari which is honestly one of the most adorable names ever.
Except when he isn't. Let's just say no one dares to be in his 1 mile radius when he snaps.

There is one thing I’d like to note: Asuras are not inherently bad, and Devas are not inherently good. Certain Asuras represent ideals like Justice and Fair Play, while some Devas do really horrible shit
The clean divide of “Good guys that live in the sky vs. bad guys that live in the ground” was very much a European recontextualization.
Yes !. In myths , Mayasura , the greatest architect of the Asura clan , built the the there cities of Maya called Tripura .They were floating cities one above the other , the lowest city was made of iron and was located on the earth , the middle one located in the skies was made of silver and the third one made of gold was located in space. Mayasura created those three cities on the order of lord Brahma . Shiva destroyed those three cities after some time though. Mayasura also created Indraprasta , the present day Delhi , on the order of lord Krishna for the 5 Pandava brothers of The great epic Mahabharata.
@@preetikushwa7032 Indraprastha was built by Vishwakarma.
@@ishanbajpai6940 No it's was created by Mayasura on the order of Indra i guess not sure though.
@@preetikushwa7032 Why would Indra have to ask an Asura to build something when there is already a God of construction and building called Vishwakarma???
@@preetikushwa7032 I think you are getting confused because Vishwakarma is also called Maya but not Mayasura because he is a Devta.

I am gonna be honest, I was terrified of Goddess Kali when I was little. If a deity is literally wearing demon organs as her dress and heads as her garland or necklace......... What do you expect??
Learn about virat Avatar of Shri Krishna you will be amazed by it you can read it in Bhagwat Geeta or just can view images but images can't show exactly like in Geeta but it's okay
Those sky's are of asur not god. But she is still mother. That is practically how women are. If u hurt their children they'll hurt you back.
Even I used to get scare then these depictions are important to understand women can be angry furious and barbaric too if they want to, so that no 1 exploits them. Tbh my mum says every woman has a Kali inside her
I once visited a kali temple when I was about 8. The door was of my height and while returning I hit my head on the door and thought that mata kali hit me. Combine that with her scary sculpture and lore, she scared the heck out of me for years.
there was a quote "kali mata aayegi gala kaat ke le jaegi" to scare children from going out
Ok I know this is true for literally everything Red draws ever, but angy tantrum-dancing Kali is adorable.
@pavan ..... You must be fun to hangout with
So is Lord Shiva🥰
Lmao I know right!
She even blepped in surprise
Are that one guy she mentions in the end text
fun fact: shiva's most popular title is bholenath which literally means lord of innocents or protector of innoncents
Hmm. maybe. But my understanding is that it's also because he's a simpleton. At one point he gets burned alive by an Asura because of a power Shiva himself bestowed upon him, and has to run to Vishnu. But overall Shiva is quite cool.
@@AdityaKashi
He isn't burned alive but was threatened with it.
@@AdityaKashi he can't be burned..he is fire itself n when that Asura was trying to kill Lord Shiva..Lord Shiva knew that he can't kill him even when he possess the boon coz Lord Shiva never took birth...u can't kill which hasn't take birth...n Lord Shiva went to Lord Vishnu coz he has the duty to protect so Lord Vishnu protect Lord Shiva

Kali: I once went into bloodlust-induced rampage and almost destroyed the universe.
Sekhmet: Oh my Ra, same!
Kali: Did we just become bestfriends?
If that happens we are more screwed than if Zeus and Jupiter teamed up.
Actually different Sekhmet destroy almost humanity But Kali almost destroy universe.
These sorts of relationships between gods is the exact reason why urban fantasy should stop picking only one group and have all pantheons have all other pantheons on speed dial.
Sekhmet is very similar to Godess Pratyangira.
@@juicy3545Zeus and Jupiter are same people
I find it sweet that the Goddess of destruction stopped her rampage because she has a soft spot for her husband.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't she the goddess of time and death.
@@farukhsheikh5790 She is. Kaal literally means time and death in sanskrit, and Goddess Kaali(Kaali is the feminized form of Kaal), also referred to as Mahakaali (Maha means great) is the wife of Lord Shiva, also known as Mahakaal.

It gets really fun when you get into the Atheist schools of Hindu philosophy that are still considered 100% Orthodox interpretations of the Vedas and Upanishads (though thanks to Atman-Brahman as a concept, the one I'm most familiar with, Advaita Vedanta, is really more like Atheism and Pantheism and Nihilism rolled into a single thought without contradicting itself).

As a Hindu myself, I like how the story albeit overly concise was factually correct and didn't throw shade of any kind.
Just presented as is.
The name 'Raktabija' is literally a spoiler for his powers because 'rakta' means blood and 'beeja' means seed. So his name can literally be translated to 'Blood Seed'
ya thats what hinduism is all about symbolism it isnt materialistic like other mythologies
Never said it was
That sounds so metal lol
Kali's and her husband's relationship actually seems kinda cute. Like....
Kali: "Oh, shit. Sorry I stepped on you, love."
Shiva: "All calm now?"
Kali: "Now that your here yea. Wait... what was I doing again? Eh.. doesn't matter anymore."
*chuckling* Wait until you hear the version of the story where Shiva mistakenly decapitates Ganesha, Parvati's son whom she made out of clay, and she ends up turning into Kali until Shiva fixes the mess he made...Huh, I guess you just did...
@One’s Nirvonis The kind of psychopath who didn't even know this was his kid in this version and that when the kid was guarding his bathing mom, Shiva thought it was just some insolent brat standing in his way. The story doesn't do much for Shiva's image, but it still shows that even before getting the head of an elephant, Ganesha was a loyal enough son to guard his mother's honor even against the God of Destruction. Not to mention Parvati's transformation into the personification of a mother's rage.
Nothing like a good cycle of death and rebirth and the hope of escaping the endless futility of it.
There's also that small myth of Ganesh racing his older brother around the world to determine who loves their parents more.
Kartikeya, his brother, literally goes around the world (or universe) while Ganesha only goes around his parents because he believes that they are his world.
That's kind like the meme:
"Tell the world we're bros" except for the parents
@@Nimodog19 Oh yeah, I remember that one. But I guess the version I saw was censored or something because instead of their parents' affection, the brothers were fighting over a laddoo or some other sweet.

There's a emotional aspect here , when kali killed all the battling asura she was so disappointed on her actions because at the end of the day we all are her children in the form of GOD'S motherly aspect (SHAKTI) , so she had to kill her own children even if they gone bad and were killing their cosmic siblings (deva and nara) but she still killed her own children .... Just think what a mother would feel in that position. So her emotion and anger lead her to come to this decision that if they are killing each other and making her kill her children then they don't deserve this life .... they can't protect and love their own cosmic siblings then why should they torture and kill eachother, even if she stop this battle now but they will kill eachother again.....they don't deserve this life and...... she started rampaging 🙏
Wow
I love this high concept of gods/goddesses being distraught and heartbroken when they're forced to kill their own creations who happen to "misbehave" and turn "evil". It presents them in more humane, benevolent, and compassionate light rather than just omnipotent, amoral beings who can do whatever the heck they want, and the "bad guys" who are punished are also recognized as "precious children of God" at the end of day, instead of being demonized/dehumanized and treated as nobodies like most of the stories from the West.
@@loremipsum980yeah meanwhile the Greeks are like "aww well he can be a flower, welp into the next one!"
@@loremipsum980 in hinduism they are certain good 'asuras' too, like they were born into the race of asura but followed righteousness , for eg: Prahlad -such devotion that vishnu did impossible to save him.

i want to reply that, it's a same situation like Hulk. Shiva knows his power and responsibility. if he start become angry on little things, he can destroy the universe. that's way, on very rare moments, shiva gets angry
Slight Correction: Kali is basically one of the 9 forms of Maa , With Parvati being the wife of Shiv , and whenever there is danger or whenever she (parvati) gets Angry, she turns into Kali ma .. So when Kali ma stepped on shiva, she calmed down and turned back into calm Parvati
"You have to stop your wife!"
"Which one?"

You mean Kali? I've got this.
Bro those other devis were the temporary incarnation after doing there job the get back into parvati
re: Zues.
I'm not sure, but maybe the one threatening the universe.
As confusing as it sounds, Maa Kali is a form of Parvati. Parvati (in many version) takes on the aspect of Kali when royally pissed off. The goddess can be a sweetheart who is nuturing and caring OR she can be the most ferocious form which has no chill... Shiva has one wife who takes many forms in different situations
Well isn't that how all the gods work? Just to varying degrees of 'same person in different settings' to 'different people who show different sides of the same person'?

"none of your blood will reach the ground" is the hardest shit I've ever heard.
She is the destroyer of evil, she absorbs darkness , she is the mother of all living beings. Kali is generally the angry form of goddess Durga....The supreme mother goddess of hinduism. Kali only comes to presence when negativity has taken over positivity. She is also a fierce warrior. She gives you strength and prosperity. She is nude, ugly, fierce, but she is still our mother. She represents the anger in evey woman.... When u disrespect or assault or harm a woman.... Kali arises in her. If u love your mother,sisters and other females around you and treat them with respect.... Kali will be always happy with you and she will protect you in every circumstances. Love u all. Jai Maa Kali.
That's why, even if I'm no Hindu, she is my favourite godess of all religions and myths.
I'd agree with that sentiment - not my religion, but definitely a great moral example.
Basically what happen when you touch some mother´s kid, he will go mother bear in your ass

Well u see maa kali is destroyer of evil but for her devotees she's like a mother, there's no need to be afraid of her
Damn! Im a hindu atheist but everytime i hear kali's symbolic story i get a bit teary.
You see, her story is part of purans, that means its metaphorical, like even we dont believe such stuff happened, ancients hindus wanted to address the toxic patriarchy and the maternal feminine enegry that finally stood up to them but her plights were so great that she lost it and starts killing stuff randomly, only to be calmed down by shiva throwing himself under her feet instead of, what you'd call, mansplaining her.
My grandmum would always explain this story and the moral would be not to piss off my mother.😅

Goddess Kali is the ultimate from of reality. The story has been distorted in bewildering ways. But, kali simply means Dark or darkness. And, the universe is nothing but never ending darkness. Kali doesn't destroy you as an individual, kali destroy your sense of individuality so you can become one with the infinite ( Bhrama).

During Britain's control over India, the British were so horrified by Kali that they used her to prove that the Indians were 'savage' and needed 'taming' and 'control'- so in response, the Indian rebels used the raging, ass-kicking Kali as their unofficial mascot.
Which is pretty ironic sense Christianity was the main religion of the west at the time and some variations of Christianity there is thing called armegedon where anyone who isn't a "true Christian " gets brutally murdered. And to be honest I rather worship a firey ball of rage than a god that pretends to love you just to kill you later on for not meeting some weirdly specific requirements (did you know that wearing mixed fabrics is a sin?)
Wearing mixed fabrics and eating shellfish are on the same sin level as being gay. Also, if a woman is raped before she's married, she's gotta be killed.

There is a male counterpart, Rudra. Such is his visage that his very name is terror. It doesn't mean terror, it is terror. Rudra is Terror personified. His chilled out version is shiva who lives on mount kailash and smokes weed. Not exaggerating even slightly.
@@excitableboy7031
Yeah, Rudra is one of the various deities who gave form to the modern interptetation of Shiv...
Rudra was indeed the god of destruction, but the negative version, they offered him the remenants of previous offerings, since he was disliked.
In modern India he is not even worshipped that much...
There are some temples....but he is not a mainstream god like Vishnu or Kālī.
“Seated on a corpse, greatly terrifying, laughing loudly, with fearful fangs, four arms holding a cleaver, a skull, and giving the mudras bestowing boons and dispelling fear, wearing a garland of skulls, her tongue rolling wildly, completely naked, thus one should meditate on Kali, dwelling in the centre of the cremation ground.”

Fun little coincidence: While in Hinduism Asuras are evil divinities and Devas are good, in Zoroastrianism there are evil divinities called Daeva and good divinities called Ahuras (the chief of whom is, of course, Ahura Mazda)
Not all asuras are the badguy .
In Hinduism devas aren’t necessarily good and asuras are not necessarily evil. There are many “gods” that did evil deeds and were cursed by mortals for example; Indra. Indra was a very important Vedic god but he was cursed by a mortal sage because of his perversions
More than a coincidence.
The word Devas came from Vedic god Dyaus pitra, a god associated with Indra. The name Dyauṣ Pitṛ is cognate with Greek Zeus Patēr, Illyrian Dei-pátrous, or Latin Jupiter (from an earlier *Djous patēr).
Probably it's just ancient Indians and ancient Iranians fighting over whose gods are real lmao
You should make a video on Hanumana too

Technically speaking he is the child of Shiva and parvathy but they were in monkey form when she got pregnant so out of shame she transfered her pregnancy to vayu the lord of the wind and then he transferred the pregnancy to a mortal woman. So he is the son of Shiva, Parvathy, Vayu and the mortal woman whose name I cannot remember. He also later on becomes the disciple and devout servant of Sreeram, a mortal reincarnation of Vishnu sent out to bring order to the world.

Goodness, I'm a Hindu and even I feel your comment!! 👌🏼👌🏼😂😂
Yk probably one of my favorite sayings of all time goes along the lines of, "People are used to seeing women as Parvati. God have mercy on their souls if they manage to see her as Kali."
Woah that's an underated comment. 🙌
Oh nice. Way to feed your insecure feminine ego
Asuras and Devas are basically like Titans and Gods. Not all bad and not all good either.
true, there are also good rakshasas(demon people) and yakshas(spirits) as well. For example, Ghatotkacha was a half-rakshasa son of the hero of Mahabaratha, Bhima and his rakshasa wife Hidimbi, who was the one of the greatest warriors for the Pandava army
Later story-- after realising that she step on his husband kali come to her original form Parvati and started crying because she loves her husband soo much too
I love that dancing queen is the song at the end. Haha dancing-on-the-graves queen

I am watching this video 5 yrs too late, i am an indian devout Hindu and i LOVE your rendition of the story. We have a festival called Navratri twice a year and we read these stories during those 9 days. This is the most simplistic and sweetest version of the story. LOVE THIS

“She bleaped in surprise”
Ladies and gentlemen it’s a verb now
Man, ancient hindi raves were INTENSE.
Vicente Temes even more so when you learn that the primary offering to shiva is bhang( ganja leaves)
Vicente Temes I know right. Dionysus and his followers had to get something tips from them. Can you image a collab between the two? Oof
And then you add in the Soma (best guess, shrooms)...

Hindi/Hindustani-> A language spoken in India, NOT "Indian" (no such language)
Al-Hind/Hind/Hindustan-> Persian/Arabic foreign names for India
Hindu-> Follower of Hinduism, the religion. Formerly, used by Persian/Arabic foreigners as someone from India.
Wait, what do you call someone *from* India then? An Indian? Goddamn people from the USA, always appropiating cultures and using them to be racist towards other different cultures...
1:14 I'm a Hindu and I love how you describe Kali as the ' heavy metal aspect ' lol I think that pretty much describes her 😂
In case you ever wondered where the Japanese anime trope of the super-powered evil-alter-ego originated from, tales like these of Kali are a safe bet
Info! Two other versions of this myth include: Shiva dance-battling his wife into submission, and Shiva turning into a baby to sort of..."motherhood instincts" Kali back to her Parvati form.
I like the dance battle version best but I will freely admit that would be harder to animate.
i also humbly request a Lovecraft ep someday
These not other versions kali went on mad rage for like 3-4 times . First time was stepping , second was turning into a child and third i forgot
ask and you shall receive!
DANCE OFF HUN, YOU AND ME...
Please do more Hindu mythology! My grandparents live in India and I’ve been there many times so I’ve always found Hinduism incredibly interesting. Especially since half their children’s cartoons over there have the gods as the main characters
In fairness, i'm pretty sure the reasons he hasn't done it before is, because, unlike most mythologies, Hinduism is actually still a major world religion, which, given Red's general irreverent style, could end up disrespectful.
Trust me if you look to deep Hinduism looks extremly messed up
I kept thinking to much in history class
Honestly, the cartoons are so goddamn lame and stupid. Hinduism is basically Dragonball Z
GamerPony Dragon Ball Z and super and pretty much every dragon ball ever created
But you gotta admit it a lot of cartoons are legit awesome
Kathy Kat And Veggie Tales depicts Moses as a cucumber. I might well ask the same thing....
1:01 now THAT'S an explanation of Polytheism and Monotheism that makes sense.
Yeah but it is kind of wrong.
Shiva is actually just the coolest chilled out stoner hippie you'll ever hear of in a pantheon lol.
Might be why he has so many worshippers.
Well, the hippies were quick to add stoner features to Shiva. Meanwhile, no central text mentions of him taking any intoxication. He is in eternal meditation.
He has to be, that is the point. It's why he's known as the primordial observer of the universe and doesn't get involved unless absolutely necessary. He knows if he loses control, he can nuke the whole thing. 😅
I am not from a Hindu family and I also am likely not deific in origin. However, I can attest that when my mother frowns hard enough, an omnicidal war spirit does occasionally pop out from her forehead
lmFAO
u better listen to her then , 'mother and motherland are greater than heaven'
@@atharvagawkar4827"Janani janmabhumishcha swargadapi gariyasi":)
I think that the reason why Kaali is often referred to as Maa Kaali meaning Mom/Mother Kaali. 😅
I love how Shiva is the god of destruction (ish), and yet is the most "chilled out" of pretty much any god in any mythos.
Micah Clark Same!!!! He is so chill. Cool with all kinds of monsters and magical creatures. He is very accepting. Completely devoid of any materialism even - the dude only adornes a loincloth. I love him.
And he loves Parvati a whole lot. That is always nice to see.
But when he gets mad, he gets MAD. He’s same as Parvati aka Durga aka Kali in that aspect.
Karolina B. Yeah, that's kind of expected too. I mean, we all know at least ONE person like that, don't we? The lesson is: Don't piss off a chill person, they can destroy you if they need to.
He isn't the God of Destruction for nothing
The fact the some of the world's most hardcore soldiers such as the Gorkhas, Nagas, Rajputs, Mahars and Marathas worship Kali as their patron goddess can probably make you understand how much powerful she is.
As a Hindu, this is not offending in any sense. Keep up the good work , also your humour is on point.
"When Kali realises she just boogied all over her husband..." LMAO WHO WRITES THESE SCRIPTS
....the narrator lol
I think Red makes it up as she goes along.
But it has a deep meaning ........
@@ankurpatelia1578 i mean they didn't say anything wrong

Fun fact: The name Raktabija translates to Rakta- blood and Bija- seed. So the Asura's name literally means bloodseed :)
2:41 the original Eren Yaeger
I remember my professor in Archaeology summing up the Kali pretty neatly with the following description:
"Kali was created with the purpose of killing a specific demon.
She did that and then just continued doing what she was good at.
It was kind of her purpose in life..."
That's not totally right... 😩
Shakti: The answer to life, the universe, and everything

Shakti is the number 42???
@@yourpalbryan1442 Shakti means power. In context, feminine energy. These deities are forms of Shakti.
@@RAIRADIO I'm making a joke. But thanks for the info. The "42" joke is a reference to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe where 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything
The character design you granted to Kali is just fiercely exceptionnal, I'm in love with it, you managed to lead to its climax all the unshakeable, wrathful and impetuous ardor of Kali; Bravo !
And that music which accompanies your highly engaging storytelling, that most apocalyptic music when Kali burst in a frenzy eruption just crowns your video.
Also, really like your persona.
First of all, this video is amazingly informative and witty without offensive at the same time!
Secondly, being a Hindu and quite a mythology enthusiast myself I just want to simplify the concept of Shakti
Shakti is the ultimate goddess which encompasses the three goddesses Parvati, Durga and Kali. Parvati is the nurturer and the goddess of plants and harvest. (Kinda like Demeter in Greek mythology) Durga is the warrior goddess who comes to defend and save people from evil. Kali on the other hand is the goddess that is angered. She is a greater version of Durga and appears when something terribly grave is happening where even the rules of war don’t apply. Kali symbolises the anger which lives inside women.
than i hope that Kali's very much asleep now cause i'm not sure how she would react to the current state of the world in general and womens rights specifically. on the other hand it would be fascinating to watch. i'm of two minds on this.

I can imagine her being those mothers who are a bit overprotective
That's, quite literally her whole deal. She is the manifestation of the wrath of a mother when she sees her children being harmed.
Ya she threatened to destroy the universe alone when her son was harmed and all the gods were scared
That's why She is also called MahaMaya.
@@realrimadas Maya meaning???
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 Maya can also mean mother
Kali’s blep of surprise was weirdly adorable.
That's the gesture for " I'm sorry!" or "My bad!" it's still used in some parts of India. We also pinch our earlobe with index finger and thumb to gesture the same thing.
Shiva was like “Woah, stop darling, that’s my job,”

Why india seems more and more metal as I delve more into it?
First bloodywood, and now a four armed blood drinking, headnecklace, handskirt god of carnage? How did I miss these in my life?
Máté Kovács lol, I swear the sample for death grip’s punk weight sounds like your average Indian wedding music. Still My favourite track from DG.
Well, India was basically a gigantic mess of competing kingdoms and empires for most of its existence. Meaning there was a lot of war fought, and considering the amount of people the subcontinent can feed those wars were massive. And of course the people living during those times tried to put those wars into context.
You want metal? Google the astra weapons.
Religions in general are really freaking metal when you dig deep and read some of the crazy stuff that happens.
She is not only a goddess of carnage but a protective mother goddess... of carnage. I think the idea is she commits bloody carnage on anything that threatens her children.
Me thinking mythology is the most boring thing
But then I found this
*silently falling in love with mythology*
3:03 Shiv only has 1 wife. Parvati is Kali, Durga, Chandi etc.
My favorite thing about Hinduism is that every figure including all the Gods are at least cursed once, as to present that nobody is without flaws. And even Gods can't escape consequences of their actions.And another notable fact is that in a Hindu household one can be atheist,monotheist , polytheist or more of these, you're still fine. For ex My mom is very religious,dad isn't so much and my elder sister is a hardcore atheist and yet there's no forcing anyone to change . The point is every individual is allowed to have their own form of belief.
P.S: I'm not saying no other religion does or anything. I just stated my personal experience from growing up in a Hindu household. Also I belong to the sect which produced Scholars and priests in Vedic times(Brahman Varna). In fact my great grandfather was a priest. So my family has a fairly religious background. And I've personally read various holy books from different religions for pleasure
It always surprises me how even in otherwise liberal Brahmin households there is just this casual sense of Brahmin exceptionalism, and lack of historical self-reflection. To the rest of us this looks ridiculous - partly because of the damage Brahminical constructs have dealt to our society over the centuries, and also because it's absurd to invoke lineage from Vedic times at the drop of a hat. Get over yourselves. The Brahminical insistence on monopoly over knowledge was shameful, and it was never absolute.
And to any other kids reading this who are uncritically accepting their caste identities - *don't*. It's terribly uncool. Caste does not define you. It's stupid. Choose other things to be proud of - like your language, or your city, or your district.
@@TathD As a complete outsider, the above comment seemed completely reasonable and kind, even if it's a little strange to bring up one's direct lineage in such a way. Obviously I'm ignorant and my apologies if this is annoying, but why the strong response? I can work some of it out from context but I felt it was better to ask.
is it really a hindu household if only 25-50% of members are hinduist? I'm pretty sure your secret is not being assholes as your sister I assume isn't preaching christianity to everyone else either.
@@clockworkkirlia7475 the strong response is because of how casteism works in India, and despite all the efforts of the govt and all the education even after so many years of independence we still see instances of casteism still prevalent, one example would be how op name dropped their lineage- casually highlighting their elite religious background. Casteism however can be much much worse, in the past it was used to specifically discriminate against certain communities based on the caste they were born into, preventing even their assimilation into society. They were considered as basically lesser humans, if humans at all. It's a sensitive topic, because it has a very painful history and has not yet been eradicated even from urban places, such instances of casual casteism or elitism because of caste still exists. In rural areas, it is still much much worse, even though we live in 21st century.
@@zawsrdtygbhjimokpl6998 yes, I remember reading about this in school, it literally doesn't matter if you do the religious stuff to be a Hindu, that's a Puranic tradition. As far as I remember, in Vedic traditions, it really didn't matter if people were super religious or atheist, there are multiple ways of being Hindu.
