Sri and Kali
==========
Before the process of creation, ParaBrahmam alone exists. Veda and vedanta itself say, it cannot comment on the state of Brahmam. "Na sath aaseed, No A-sath aaseed" Brahmam's state is neither Chith nor Achith. it is beyond words. so we say it as it exists as "Eashwaran", "Aporusheyam" etc.,
For no reasons, Brahmam start the Creation phase of the universe. it first create the Maya. Parashakthi is symbolisation of this MahaMaya. After Bringing out the Mahamaya, the Brahmam Becomes ParamaSiva and Parashakthi. i.e., a state in which the difference is observed. One is Brahmam and other is Maya. Now the Brahmam and the Maya indulge in divine union which creates the five elements. the Space, Air, fire, water and land. This is explained with the divine union of Paramashiva and Parashakthi. Their cosmic union/ cosmic dance created everything. in this phase Both Paramashiva and Parashakthi are personified with great beauty, pleasant, sweet etc., in short as Kameshwara and kameshwari. Kameshwari is the Mahamaya, who is explained as ever sixteen, beautiful lady, playing the crucial role in creation. As she created the universe as a play she is called as Lalitha. As creation is always pleasant to us, the Brahmam and Mahamaya are personified as a charming young couple. Brahmam is always inert. it is only She, the Mahamaya plays the role of creation. hence she is symbolised as seating over kameshwara in eternal union.

Again for no reasons Brahmam start the destruction of the universe. All the five elements which came out of the union of Paramashiva and Parashakthi is taken back into them. At the end all the elements merge into each other in the reverse order of creation and finally enters into the Mahamaya. it is the second time when only Paramashiva and Parashakthi alone pervades. Now it is the time for the Brahmam to absorb even the Mahamaya and become the single entity to complete the cycle. This Eternal union is symbolied as union of Mahakala and Mahakali. As destrution is always seen as a sign of fierce nature, even Mahakala and MahaKali are explained with a fearful look.

In Both the cases, Union is the word synonymous to a state that they are/becoming one and the same. It is the eternal union between the Brahamam and Maya. Sri and Kali are just two states of Mahamaya! The name given to them s based on the phase they involve in. if it is creation it is Sri (sundari) and if it is destruction she is called as Kali. Srikula and KaliKula lead the sadhaka to realize the same MahaMaya! , And attain the only Moksha!.
