Goddess Guhya Kali Information
As per some Tantra texts, Guhya Kali is Goddess Siddhidatri or Goddess Siddhi Kali who is worshipped on the ninth day of Navratri.
She blessed her devotees with siddhis and both internal and physical strength.
Goddess Guhya Kali was worshipped by Devas including Indra, Varuna, Kuber, Yama, and Chandra. She was also worshipped by Vedic gods like Vasav and Vivaswan. She was also offering puja and worship by demon kings like Ravana and Mahabali (King Bali). It is also believed that Vali or Bali of Ramayana used to worship her.
There is a popular temple dedicated to Goddess Guhya Kali in Kathmandu, Nepal. The temple is known as Guhyeshwari Mandir. It is believed that the two knees of Goddess Sati fell here and thus the temple is a Shakti Peeth.
In the Tantra Purana, the goddess Kali is described in many
forms. According to the Toral Tantra, Kali has nine manifestations: Dakshina
Kali, Krishna Kali, Siddha Kali, Shri Kali, Bhadra Kali, Chamunda Kali, Smashan
Kali, Maha Kali, and Guhya Kali.
In the Mahakala Samhita, under the section called Anusmriti
Prakarana, there is also mention of these nine forms of Kali. There too, the
nature of Guhya Kali—or Akali—is explained.
According to the Devi Bhagavata Purana, she is one of the
great powers (Mahashakti) who emerged from the body of the goddess Shatakshi.
Some spiritual practitioners worship Kali in this form, though for
householders, this form of the goddess remains concealed.
The form of Guhya Kali is extremely terrifying. She holds a
snake and a sword in her two hands. Her complexion is like a dark cloud. Around
her neck hangs a garland of fifty human heads. She wears a short black garment
around her waist. Across her shoulder lies a sacred thread made of serpents; on
her head are matted locks and a crescent moon; in her ears are ornaments made
of corpses.
Serpents with raised hoods surround the goddess on all
sides. To her left stands Shiva.
It is said that she consumes human flesh.
This Guhya Kali is, in essence, an extremely fierce
manifestation. And for that reason, householders are not permitted to worship
her.
According to the Puranas, a deity once slew a demon named Daruka. Afterward, the deity entered the body of Maheshwara (Shiva), and by the poison that stained Shiva’s throat blue, this deity took on a dark hue.
Thus, she is known as the Poison-Bearer, the Fierce Chandi. Hence, her worship
and meditation are highly difficult. It is said that the sage Bamdev practiced
devotion to this goddess, though attaining perfection in such worship is
exceedingly rare.
In the village of Akalipur in Birbhum district, near the
cremation ground on the banks of the Brahmani River, Maharaja Nandakumar built
a temple dedicated to Guhya Kali.

Chanting of the above mantra daily seven times an hour before sunrise and meditating on Guhya Kali for 21 minutes will help in fulfillment of all kinds of desires.
