Kamala

From The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project

Kamala is the name of a fictional character (played by Tharini Mudaliar) in the science fiction film The Matrix Revolutions.

Kamala is an interactive software programmer. She is the wife of Rama Kandra and mother of Sati.

In The Matrix Revolutions, Neo meets Kamala's husband Rama Kandra, whom he has a conversation with, at the Mobil Avenue train station, along with their daughter Sati, before they are to enter the Matrix. She tends to Sati as Neo and Rama Kandra are talking.

The name Kamala is derived from Kamalatmika. In Hindu mythology Kamala is the tenth and final Mahavidyas, the "Great Knowledge". She is the introduction of femininity into the world and the personification of fertility. She may alternatively be known as the goddess Lakshmi.

The mythological parallel in the character of Kamala is that she has the role of a "life-giver", essentially a goddess-mother (programmer) to other sentient programs (interactive software). Thus she is very likely responsible, at least in part, for the very existence of Matrix-native characters including the Oracle herself, which might explain how she and her husband could have possessed the deletion codes for the Oracle's shell.
