How To Perform Kālī Pūjā

Tomorrow (October 1st, 2024)  is a very, very special day: a new moon night on Tuesday, the eve of Navarātri, the 9 nights of the Goddess! 
Mā Kālī tells us in the Tantras that this is the best time to worship Her! 
Naturally, those of you who might want to worship Her will ask "well how do I worship Her?!" Of course, the worship of Mā Kālī is some very high level Tantra being that She is the Goddess of the Tantras! But there are some wonderful resources out there for beginners to get started:

For example, Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati's beautiful book "Simple Kali Puja", which you can pick up on the internet or find on the Kālī Mandir website: https://www.kalimandir.org 

If you're totally new, I recommend starting here. As with all things, start small and slowly expand according to capacity and interest. Pujya Swamiji's book is very complete as it is concise, walking you through all the main mantras in Kālī worship which for so long has been kept secret!

Some time ago, on the new moon night of Phalahārinī Kālī Pūjā, we gave this talk on How To Worship Mā Kālī which focused more on the "internal worship" (mānasa Kālī pūjā):

Now, we present an abridged, abbreviated external worship in 16 steps/sections!

The mantras can all be found in written form here:
