She is benevolent and nurturing, fierce and terrible, a warrior and a lover. She creates and gives life, is death personified, and the one who grants eternal salvation. She is the ultimate form of reality, the cosmos.
In Shakti, encounter the Goddess in all Her glory and numerous forms. Dive deep into Her fascinating mythology and rituals. Unravel the philosophy behind Her worship and Her adaptation within many belief systems.
Lovely book but a cautionary note
Thank you to the Vedanta Society of Southern California for making these lovely coffee table books available.
This book is of a high quality. However DevDutt Patnaik and Shashi Tharoors association as reviewers/foreword authors, etc makes their contents somewhat suspect... these individuals are infamous for their pro-colonial, anti-Bharat, anti Dharmic points of views as propagated by the leftist materialistic Western academic propaganda machine.
Jai Maa Durga.
Jai Sri Maa Kali.
Jai Sri Ramakrishna.
Jai Sri Maa Sarada.
Jai Sri Swami Vivekananda.
