Song reprinted without permission from Land of the Lost magazine
1987. Written by Len Rosenberg, sent to Denny Sargent who then sent it
to me because he knew I was writing a book about Kali. A good
explanation of Nila Sadhaka's song for Kali fans....

(Also posted to ALT.FAN.KALI.INANNA.ASTARTE along with Kali yantras,
pictures and the like.)

"It is a little known fact that one of the most popular and best-loved
rock-n-roll perform composers of the 60's was secretly a Tantric
scholar, known to his acolytes as The Blue Adept. Recently, while
under the mind-altering influence of 18 consecutive hours of
pranayamic breathing, this author realized the esoteric significance
of The Blue Adept's hit, which subliminally instructs listeners in the
secrets of the four Yugas, or Cosmic Eras, and the Bhavas or modes of
worship appropriate to devotees of the goddess Kalika, "Little Kali"
who gives immediate Tantric enlightenment in this most corrupt of
ages.  As "blue" is nila in Sanskrit and "adept" in sadhaka, may I
present the secret meaning of Nila Sadhaka's classic, not Calendar
Girl, but...

Kalika Girl

I love, I love, I love
my Kalika girl,
Yeah, my Kalika Girl!
I love, I love, I love
my Kalika girl...
In each Yuga there is.

Satya (1)
...was the Yuga when things all went fine.
In Treta (2)
...our behaviour starts its long decline;
Dvipara (3)
...sees us sunk in ignorance and sin ---
and Kali? (4)
...that's the yucky Yuga we're now in!

The Devas (5)
can save us
from constant re-birth.
A little Shakti-bhakti (6) will
enlighten the earth
Like a sage
every age
through the years!

(Ta-da ta-da ta-da-dah!)

I love, I love, I love
my Kalika girl,
Yeah, my Kalika Girl!
I love, I love, I love
my Kalika girl...
With each Bhava (7)
there is.

Well, Divyas (8)
join the gods as equals (of a sort)...
Viras (9)
vie as heroes in a Rajah's court...
Pashus (10)
seek protection like a favored beast.
(The Aghoris (11)
nosh on corpses --
what a gross out feast!)

Through Mantra (12)
and Yantra (13)
our Karmas (14) will cease.
That ol' Shyama (15) Mama
gonna bring us release (16)
Every age
every stage
through the years.
(Ta-da ta-da- ta-da-dah!)

I love, I love, I love
my Kalika girl,
Yeah, my Kalika Girl!

[repeat and fade out. If you have trouble fading out, ask
Shiva for assistance.]
