Hurricane Rita: Agent of Universal Order

"As many know, in the Hindu pantheon this is the age of the Kali Yuga, the dark age of Kali as the ever-becoming, ever-destroying force of life. She is both unimaginable horror and abundant bliss. Kali is the Holy Paradox, like wild fire that destroys and births the forests.

"Interestingly enough, Hurricane Katrina and her sister Rita may be the Kali Ma that appears in Hindu symbolism: the etymology of the Hindu word rita is 'universal order.'"
