Description and curator notes
This official Belur Math page presents Satyendranath Dutta’s Bengali translation of Vivekananda’s Kali the Mother alongside the complete English poem. Its imagery moves through storm, darkness, upheaval, death, and the Mother’s destructive dance. The devotee’s willingness to confront suffering forms the poem’s concluding movement. The parallel texts support study of how a well-known English-language expression of Kali devotion was received and recreated in Bengali. This is a complete short literary work, not an excerpt offered as a complete book. It warrants a translation-level record linked to the parent poem, while the English text should not be counted again merely because it also occurs in Nivedita’s volume or on another institutional website. The page identifies the translator, but does not establish the translation’s first publication date or provide a critical textual apparatus. Its 2017 posting date must therefore remain distinct from the historical composition and translation dates. It documents devotional literature, not an ancient scriptural witness.
