Kali the Mother is a collection of excellent essays on the Divine Mother of the Universe, written from an intensely personal point of view blended with an extraordinary meta physical insight into the cosmic aspect of the Kali Ideal. No one who wants to understand the traditional Indian worship of the Terrible in Nature as an aspect of God can afford to miss a perusal of this brilliant study. This was the first book of Sister Nivedita, published in 1900, by Messrs Swan Sonnenschein &. Co. Ltd., London, in pocket size. The first Indian edition was published by us in 1950, followed by the second and third impressions in 1953 and 1983, respectively. Coming from the pen of a gifted author like Sister Nivedita, the book has a perennially absorbing interest for every reader interested in the search for the Truth in all its infinite aspects.

The poem 'Kali the Mother' included at the end of the book is by Swami Vivekananda.
