Goddess Dhumavati: The Smokey One

IndiaDivine.org
We have received the following update from one of the devotees in Los Angeles:

"Tonight just before 10 PM a great soul and dear friend, Rama Prasada Das, left our presence in the middle of a kirtan with as many people as could fit in his home. It was the end of a painful struggle that started just over two months ago when he found out he had cancer. Since then his home has been flooded with love and friends coming from all parts of the world. Present there were, Brighupati Das and his wife Chandravali, Anadi Das, Gaurangi Silvers, Yuvati Dasi, my wife Isanah Devi Dasi, Kartika, Caitanya Mitchell, Doug, Scott, and Neil and Martin. The last two have been with him 24/7, Neil for over 2 months and Martin for over two weeks. Martin, who has travelled the world in the merchant marines and other occupations, said that these last two week were the most amazing and learning times of his life. The kirtan continued for a while after he passed then Brighupati read the 7th chapter of the Bhagavad gita."

I would like to thank everyone who has donated to their GoFundMe page to provide for the care of his five year old son. If anyone else would like to help his son, please visit their GoFundMe page here:
 
While most of the Mahavidyas are beautiful and alluring, Dhumavati is the only one who is not good looking. She is widowed and is set in a cemetery. She is covered with smoke too. There are many legends and stories that are attributed to her. One popular legend revolves around Goddess Sati's hunger pangs. She was so hungry that she asked Lord Shiva to get her something to eat. But he refused, as he is not a householder. She had to repeat the request but it went unheeded. She was so famished that she devoured Him! Once she had swallowed her husband, He was upset. He requested her to let him out. She did with lot of hesitancy.
