hands turn a turmeric

then to a land of blazing, 

finally to a land of silence and laughter within the heart of God.

The image of broken rice spread in the shape of hands on the ghat attracts birds, and Mother Earth feeds them before they fly away into the sky.

A Babaji reveals the significance of writing the name "Ram" in red color and the understanding that Maa Kali's true nature is not black. 

The importance of the Earth-goddess in the evolution of Mother worship is emphasized, along with the reverence and offerings given to Mother Earth.
