About Chicago Kali Bari

The Chicago Kali House of Spirituality & Worship, or as described in Bengali, Chicago Kali Bari (CKB), was founded in 2018 by Ram Chakroborty, to share and encourage spiritual enlightenment with our fellow ‘sisters and brothers of America’, in efforts to further the advance towards peace and unity. “I was initially inspired by my late Mother, Nihar Kana Chakroborty, many years ago” Ram reminisces, “Ma Kali was taught to us in our childhood as a cultural simulacrum of our own mother, a shield against the malevolence, corruption, and deceit we face during our time here on this world. In building my mother’s inspiration into a reality, I sincerely hope to help our community improve their day-to-day lives through meditation and spiritual guidance” Chicago Kali Bari has quickly established a presence within the Hindu diaspora in the Chicagoland area and the US Midwest. To service our congregation, we are working to build a holistic House of Spirituality and Worship, where all are welcome to extenuate their spiritual lives, worship, and celebrate our cultural and religious traditions. We hope that in doing so, we can promote the wisdom of Hindu philosophies to those that seek it. We strive to be a place where our youth can gather, to listen, to question, and to continue and incorporate cultural ideals and heritage in their daily life forwards.
