Meaning and elaboration
Meaning: The Maker of All Auspiciousness and Bestower of Good Fortune.
Elaboration
Shhubhang-Kari is a Sanskrit compound name. "Shubha" means "auspicious," "fortunate," or "good," while "Kari" means "one who makes," "does," or "bestows." The name therefore means "She who creates or bestows all auspiciousness."
The Paradoxical Auspiciousness of Kali At first glance, this name may seem at odds with Kali's fierce and destructive imagery. Yet in the philosophy of Tantra and Shaktism, her destruction prepares the way for a deeper auspiciousness and spiritual evolution. She does not destroy for destruction's sake. She destroys to remove obstacles, dissolve ignorance, and purify the devotee. In that sense, even her fiercest forms are acts of compassion, clearing the way for what is truly beneficial.
Bestower of Inner and Outer Fortune The auspiciousness (Shubha) that Kali bestows is many-sided. It includes worldly fortune, prosperity, and well-being, but even more deeply it includes spiritual wealth, wisdom, tranquility, and ultimately liberation. She removes the inner demons of ego, attachment, and illusion, which are the deepest obstacles to real well-being and lasting good fortune.
The Ultimate Benefactress Shhubhang-Kari embodies the beneficent aspect of the Divine Mother in its highest form. Though her appearance may seem terrifying to the uninitiated, to her true devotees she is the most loving and nurturing mother, always working for their highest good. Even when her actions appear severe, they are directed toward benefit and liberation, much as a surgeon's sharp scalpel removes a life-threatening disease. Her "making" of auspiciousness also points to the birth of a purified and awakened state within her devotees, leading them toward lasting blessedness.
