The monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have
severely limited the portrayal of the divine as feminine. But in
Hinduism "God" very often means "Goddess". This extraordinary
collection explores twelve different Hindu goddesses, all of whom
are in some way related to Devi, the Great Goddess. They range from
the liquid goddess - energy of the River Ganges to the possessing,
entrancing heat of Bhagavati and Seranvali. They are local, like
Vindhyavasini, and global, like Kali; ancient, like Saranyu, and
modern, like "Mother India". The collection combines analysis of
texts with intensive fieldwork, allowing the reader to see how
goddesses are worshiped in everyday life. In these compelling
essays, the divine feminine in Hinduism is revealed as never before
- fascinating, contradictory, powerful.
