Explaining the Hindu goddess Kali, Dr. Svoboda lectures on disrupting structure in order to see supreme reality.
“Everything you see is in the process of falling to pieces … and Kali is standing there as the manifestation of what will happen to everything and everyone. There will be that total destruction and that reversion of everything into something new.” – Dr. Robert Svoboda

- The 700 verses of Shri Durga Saptashati

“This is, of course, what manifested life is all about: we want the desirable and we want to avoid the undesirable. But this duality is itself in a way demonic; it is preventing us from seeing the supreme reality. “ – Dr. Robert Svoboda
