In Kali in Bengali Lives, Suchitra Samanta examines Bengalis'
personal narratives of Kali devotion in the Bhakti tradition. These
personal experiences, including miraculous encounters, reflect on
broader understandings of divine power. Where the revelatory
experience has long been validated in Indian epistemology, the
devotees' own interpretive framework provides continuity within a
paradigm of devotion and of the miraculous experience as intuitive
insight (anubhuti) into a larger truth. Through these unique
insights, the miraculous experience is felt in its emotional power,
remembered, and reflected upon. The narratives speak to how the
meaning of a religious figure, Kali, becomes personally significant
and ultimately transformative of the devotee's self.
