So, what really happened before this incident was that I didn’t think much about it at the time. I felt a surge of energy even while I was in pain. I kept chanting the mantra over and over again, and it made me feel better. I sensed the presence of the divine.
Last night, I worked until about 12:00 AM to finish my homework. As a Grade 10 student, I often push myself, and I was very tired when I finally went to sleep. I’m not sure at what time I fell asleep, but I was exhausted. The previous day, I woke up around 6:30 AM, which felt fast since I usually sleep until about 8:00 AM on weekends.
After I fell asleep, I had a dream where Lord Shiva appeared to me. He asked, "Why did you kill Mahakali? Why did you use your sword to chop off her head?" This question disturbed me deeply, and I was filled with fear. I felt completely unprepared for such an encounter, and the weight of his words was overwhelming.
Mahakali is one of the most powerful goddesses in Hindu belief, and her essence filled me with dread. I couldn't comprehend why I would harm her. Then, I saw Mahakali, not as her usual form but as a peacock. She was recovering but looked different, and although she called out to me, I was too scared to meet her gaze. I didn't even have the courage to look into her eyes; the whole situation left me devastated.
