The night of "diwali" is believed to be a " kaal-ratri " . As per the puraans ' kaal-ratri ' is not very auspicious. Now a question arises why the most auspicious prayer of goddess LAXMI (the goddess of wealth) is done on a less auspicious date ?

The answer to this question is available in occult literature and Bhavishya Puraana. In the kaalikhand of 'shakti-sangam' tantra literature ,there is a mention of very pious & auspicious nights ,among this is the night of "diwaali". The night of diwali is also regarded as "kaalratri" (the night of death )& an explanation is given in this regard . According to the jividyarnav tantra kaalratri is explained as a powerful deity. Kaalratri here means Goddess Kaali. Thus by saying that Diwaali is Kaalraatri we mean that it is an ideal day to Worship Goddess Kaali.

The prayer of goddess kaali brings prosperity in lives of people . A mantra in MANTRA MAHODADHI means "I bow before you ,O ! powerful goddess whose hallow is extremely shiny, whose hairs are spread unevenly, who wears a black dress , has 3 eyes & is very beautifully ornamented ,who is very merciful & is served by gods themselves"

It is a myth among masses that Goddess Kaali is worshipped only by taantriks or tantra-saadhaks who want to develop an expertise on the ten mahaavidyaas. According to Shrimad-devi Puraan Goddess kaali is believed as the destroyer of evil on one hand and the provider of prosperity & success in every sphere of life, on the other she has been called GANESHWARI goddess of gods, who relieves her devotees from all sort of pains.

In the night of deewali the period after midnight is known as "mahanishaa" .occult prayers done in this period are very effective. If one prays laxmi jee during this period he is provided with ample monetary earnings. This period is very significant for those who want monetary success in life .According to Bhavishya puraana :

"ardharatrat paranyachchh muhurtgyamev cha |

samahaaraatri rutitashta tautam chakshayam bhawet ||"

It means that the period of 2 hours after midnight is very auspicious. All prayers done in this period result in huge monetary gains and fulfillment of all desires.

Goddess Maha Kali Pooja

Maa Maha Kali is the fearful and ferocious form of the mother goddess Durga.On one hand she punishes the guilty while on the other she blesses her devotees with virtues of all kind. As the legend goes, in the battle, Kali was so much involved in the killing spree that she got carried away and began destroying everything in sight. To stop her, Lord Shiva threw himself under her feet. Shocked at this sight, Kali stuck out her tongue in astonishment, and put an end to her homicidal rampage. Hence the common image of Kali shows her in her mêlée mood, standing with one foot on Shiva's chest, with her enormous tongue stuck out.

Kali Pooja is done to diminish the ego and all negative tendencies that hinder spiritual progress and material prosperity. Performed on the night of Kartik Amavasya, which falls in October/November, Kali Pooja is an intense invocation to the fearsome goddess. The main purpose of the pooja is to seek the help of the goddess in destroying evil - both in the outside world and within us.

The legend goes that long ago the demons, Shumbha and Nishumbha, disturbed the peace of Indra, the king of gods, and his empire (heaven). After extensive and endless battles, the gods lost all hope and the demons became stronger.

The gods took refuge in the Himalayas, the holy mountains, the home of Lord Shiva and Parvati. The shaken gods sought protection from Mahamaya Durga, the goddess of Shakti. Kali was born from Durga's forehead as Kal Bhoi Nashini, created to save heaven and earth from the growing cruelty of the demons. Along with Dakini and Jogini, her two escorts, she set on her way to end the war and kill the devils.

There was chaos all around. After slaughtering the demons, Kali made a garland of their heads and wore it around her neck. In the bloodbath, she lost control and started killing anyone who came her way. The gods started running for their lives. The only source of protection seemed Lord Shiva, Durga's consort.

Seeing the endless slaughter, Shiva devised a plan to save the world. He lay down in the path of the rampaging Kali. When the goddess unknowingly stepped on him, she regained her senses. The well-known picture of Ma Kali, with her tongue hanging out, actually depicts the moment when she steps on the Lord and repents.

That momentous day is celebrated ever since. Kali, also called Shyama Kali, is the first of the 10 avatars (incarnations) of Durga. Kali Pooja is performed essentially to seek protection against drought and war, for general happiness, health, wealth, and peace. It is a tantrik pooja and performed only at midnight on Amavasya (new moon night) in November.
