| Kali Tandav Lyrics - Dr. Soumik Das |
Introduction
Kali Tandav is a powerful Bengali-Sanskrit devotional song sung, composed, arranged and produced by Dr. Soumik Das. Released for Kali Puja 2022, the song sets the verses of the traditional Kali Stotra to an intense, tandav-like musical arrangement, turning an age-old prayer to Goddess Mahakali into a dramatic devotional experience. On this page you will find the Kali Tandav lyrics in Bengali script and Roman Bengali, a full English translation, the complete song details and the official video.
The Song
The words of Kali Tandav come from the traditional Kali Stotra, a Sanskrit hymn of praise to Goddess Kali in her forms as Mahakali, Mahamaya, Chamunda and Narayani. The verses salute the Goddess as the destroyer of sins, the slayer of the demon Mahishasura, and the eternal Shakti behind creation, preservation and destruction, and they ask her for long life, health, victory, righteousness, prosperity and liberation. Sung with full force over a driving arrangement, the stotra feels less like a quiet prayer and more like the Goddess's cosmic dance itself.

Kali Tandav Lyrics in Bengali
নমঃ কালী কালী মহাকালী কালীকে পাপহারিণী।
ধর্ম্মকামপ্রদে দেবী নারায়ণী নমোহস্তুতে।
মহিষগ্নি মহামায়ে চামুণ্ডে মুণ্ডমালিনি।
আয়ুরারোগ্য বিজয়ং দেহি দেবী নমোহস্তুতে।।
নমঃ প্রচণ্ডে পুত্রদে নিত্যং সুপ্রীতে সুরনায়িকে।
কুলদ্যোতকরে চোগ্রে জয়ং দেহি নমোহস্তুতে।
সৃষ্টিস্থিতিবিনাশনং শক্তিভূতে সনাতনী।
গুণাশ্রয়ে গুণময়ে নারায়ণী নমোহস্তুতে।।
নমঃ কালী কালী মহাকালী কালীকে পাপহারিণী।
ধর্ম্মার্থ মোক্ষদে দেবী নারায়ণী নমোহস্তুতে।
সর্বমঙ্গল মঙ্গল্যে শিবে সর্বার্থ সাধিকে।
শরণ্যে ত্রম্বকেগৌরি নারায়ণী নমোহস্তুতে।।

Kali Tandav Lyrics in English Translation
Salutations to Kali, Kali, Mahakali, the Goddess who destroys all sins
O Goddess who grants dharma and fulfils desires, O Narayani, I bow to you
O slayer of Mahishasura, O Mahamaya, O Chamunda wearing a garland of skulls
Grant me long life, health and victory, O Goddess, I bow to you
Salutations to the fierce Goddess, giver of children, ever pleased, leader of the gods
O illuminator of the clan, O fierce one, grant me victory, I bow to you
O power behind creation, preservation and destruction, eternal Shakti
Abode of all virtues, full of virtues, O Narayani, I bow to you
Salutations to Kali, Kali, Mahakali, the destroyer of sins
O Goddess who grants dharma, wealth and liberation, O Narayani, I bow to you
O auspiciousness of all that is auspicious, O consort of Shiva, fulfiller of every purpose
O refuge of all, O three-eyed Gauri, O Narayani, I bow to you
Kali Tandav Lyrics Meaning in English
Kali Tandav is built entirely on the traditional Kali Stotra, a Sanskrit hymn that praises Goddess Kali as the supreme Shakti. Across its verses the Goddess is saluted again and again as Mahakali and Narayani — the destroyer of sins, the great illusion Mahamaya, the demon-slayer Chamunda who destroyed Mahishasura, and the eternal power by whom the universe is created, sustained and dissolved. In return the devotee asks her for the things a devotee always seeks from the Mother: long life, health, victory over every obstacle, righteousness, prosperity and, above all, moksha — liberation. Set to Dr. Soumik Das's fierce arrangement, the hymn carries the energy of the Goddess's tandav, her cosmic dance of destruction and renewal.
