The Hindu Goddess Laksmi is the consort of the great God Vishnu.
This book looks at the relationship between Laskmi and Vishnu in
South Indian tradition. In some other sub-traditions, P. Pratap
Kumar shows, the Goddess is seen as a mediator between devotees and
God. Others put her on a par with her male counterpart. In yet
other traditions she is worshiped as an independent deity in her
own right. South Indian Vaisnavism views the Goddess in all of
these ways, with the result that theological debates have
flourished. Clarifying these debates and the assumptions behind
them, Kumar contributes not only to our understanding of this
particular tradition, but also to an understanding of gender issues
in the study of religion.
