What is the name of that Goddess from India

[DulceDecorum]

who has (I think)
one thousand pairs of eyes,
one thousand pairs of ears,
od thousand pairs of arms,
and one thousand pairs of legs?

The first time I saw her
I thought she looked like an angel with wings and a feathered tail,
but a friend explained what those were
and also that the Goddess is seriously undersupplied
and woefully overworked.

Apparently she is the one who is supposed to deal with corrupt politicans.

Anyway, I cannot recall her name
and I was wondering if anyone here knows it.

3. I thought Shiva was a dude.

:shrug:

I took a class on Hinduism last year and got an A in it, and I can't remember this stuff.

9. Shiva is male.

But I understand the confusion.

5. Not Shiva...

Shiva is a god, not a goddess...maybe you're thinking of Kali.

2. The result of Googling "one thousand pairs of eyes goddess"

Ushnisha-sitatapatra

Yidam - goddess of the glorious white umbrella

This white-coloured deity, a form of Tara, is a female counterpart of the thousand-armed form of Avalokiteshvara. She has one thousand faces, arms and legs; each face has three eyes, and she has one eye in the palm of each hand and the sole of each foot, showing that she watches and protects sentient beings. Her central faces are white (as is her body); her right faces are yellow, the faces at the rear of her body are red, and the left faces green; there is also a "tier" of blue faces at the top of her head. Her right hands hold wheels of the Dharma (dharmachakra) and her left hands hold arrows; one of her other left hands also holds aloft a white parasol which also symbolises her protection.

You're welcome.

16. The Indian Goddess was Kali

There was a Celtic warrior goddess - the Morrigan, and I think there were some Greek and Egyptian goddesses who could kick some serious ass.

Now, I've got a "warrior goddesses doing Republicans" fantasy going. Oh,the possibilities! If any movie or comic book producers pick up on this, I get a cut!:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
