Read More »Kali, (Sanskrit: “She Who Is Black” or “She Who Is Death”) in Hinduism, goddess of time, doomsday, and death, or the black goddess (the feminine form of Sanskrit kala, “time-doomsday-death” or “black”). Kali’s origins can be traced to the deities of the village, tribal, and mountain cultures of South Asia who were gradually appropriated and transformed, if never quite tamed, by the Sanskritic traditions. She makes her first major appearance in Sanskrit culture in the Devi Mahatmya (“The Glorifications of the Goddess,” c. 6th century ce). Kali’s iconography, cult, and mythology commonly associate her not only with death but also with sexuality, violence, and, paradoxically, in some later traditions, with motherly love. Although depicted in many forms throughout South Asia (and now much of the world), Kali is most often characterized as black or blue, partially or completely naked, with a long lolling tongue, multiple arms, a skirt or girdle of human arms, a necklace of decapitated heads, and a decapitated head in one of her hands. She is often portrayed standing or dancing on her husband, the god Shiva, who lies prostrate beneath her. Many of those portrayals depict her sticking out her tongue, which is sometimes said to indicate her surprise and embarrassment at discovering that she is trampling on her husband. Yet the association of Kali with an extended tongue has early roots. A precursor of Kali is the ogress Long Tongue, who licks up oblations in the ancient Sanskrit texts known as the Brahmanas. The Devi Mahatmya tells of Kali springing from the anger of the goddess Durga to slay the demon Raktabija (“Blood-Seed”). During the struggle a new demon emerges from each drop of Raktabija’s blood as it hits the ground; to prevent this, Kali laps up the blood before it can reach the ground. She is also said to have been born when the goddess Parvati shed her dark skin; the sheath became Kali—who is also called Kaushika, “The Sheath”—leaving Parvati in the form of Gauri (“The Fair One”).

A Survival Specialist is a Soldier who’s been trained in the U.S. military’s Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) program, which trains elite military personnel to survive in uncertain or hostile environments. That includes emergency situations where they’re cut off from support and supplies, as well as combat situations that place them behind enemy lines. In other words, while “surviving” the workday for most people means getting through the staff meeting without falling asleep, making their morning commute without screaming expletives at the car in front of them, and not spilling coffee on their favorite shirt at lunch, “surviving” the workday for Survival Specialists isn’t a figure of speech. It’s their job description. Literally. As a Survival Specialist, typically known as a SERE Specialist, you therefore teach SERE survival techniques to Soldiers in the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines. Naturally, your curriculum includes four components: “Survival,” “Evasion,” “Resistance,” and “Escape.” “Survival” involves, for example, how to build shelters, fabricate makeshift tools and weapons, find and preserve water, and hunt, trap, and forage for food. “Evasion,” on the other hand, involves how to avoid capture by enemy forces by covering your tracks and hiding. “Resistance,” meanwhile, involves how to resist interrogation, exploitation, and indoctrination as a prisoner of war. And finally, “Escape” involves how to plan and execute an escape from captivity. Although most of your students are military personnel, you might also teach survival skills to civilians who need them — especially if you’re a retired SERE Specialist. In that case, you might teach private survival courses to the likes of Police Officers, Firefighters, and Park Rangers. Forget rush hour, staff meetings, and irate customers: Your job is surviving famine, drought, and war!
