Hello Ravi,Why is kali called Kamakala? What does kama mean and kala mean? Usually kali is seen standing on shiva but in this description why is she standing on the back of a vast dead body (usual depiction is standing on shiva)? What is the difference between fierce kali form and softer form such as Tripurasundari? Who does the upasana of this form of kali?I will be very anxiously waiting to hear from you as these questions have been coming to my mind that need to be answered. I need your help finding a solution for all these.

Dear Sir,Thank you for the explanation.. But I need to know what it means by the following statement "In the existence of Prakriti, Vikriti will not be strengthful". So is prakriti taken here as vac only and vikriti as gross form or effect? Thank you once again.

Śiva says in Liṅga Purāṇa (I.87.9-11) “She is śruti and smṛti. She is fortitude, stabilised by me. She is the power of knowledge, kriya (rite) and icchā (will). She is Ājñā. Undoubtedly we are the vidyā-s. The prakṛti (cause) does not belong to the jīva (embodied soul). Nor is She a vikṛti (effect) on consideration. She is māyā. She is not a vikāra (effect only). Formerly She originated from my mouth at my behest. She is the eternal deity of five faces (possibly referring to Gāyatrī). She is highly blessed and bestows fearlessness of the worlds. At Her ājñā (here it means command), I think about the welfare of the worlds. I am Śiva.” After having understood this, your question can be explained as follows. If Prakṛti is the cause of the mantra, then vikṛti is the effect of mantra. For example if we recite OM by closing our lips, we can observe vibration happening in the body. This is the effect and this is vikṛti. There could be other explanations also.

Hello Sir, I have a question regarding prakriti and vikriti. As regards to shakti, I saw that Prakriti is productive and Vikriti is produced. Could you please elaborate more in terms of mantra forms of prakriti and vikriti? I heard that there will be a prakriti form and vikriti form..So could you please explain more in respect to shakti and her mantra forms? Thank you

To my knowledge, there is no curse removal mantra. In general, the mantras revealed by Shiva to Shakti have no curses. This is one among them.

I looked for these texts and there are five or six volumes on Guhyakaalii in MhaakaalasaMhitaa. At present I may not be able to get all these volumes. Unless I have these books, the mantras could go wrong. I have this in mind and I will certainly do this in due course of time. I am terribly sorry for this delay, which is beyond my control.

Clim means chlim. Whenever "c" is there in IAST (International Alphabet for Sanskrit Transliteration) you have to pronounce this as cha. The following link will help you in pronouncing properly. Guide to IAST
