SHAKTI THE DIVINE FEMININE

She is the Mother Goddess,
Mahamaya—the enchantress, the supreme consciousness, the pure source from
which all creation emerges and to whom all must eventually return. As Usas,
the enchanting goddess of the dawn, she is loved passionately and hated fiercely,
leading to a horrific tragedy. As Durga, the invincible warrior, she defeats
the savage Mahishasura, whom none of the male gods could vanquish. As Kali,
the fearsome dark goddess, she delights in chaos. Yet she is also Shakti,
beloved of all, who, when united with Shiva, restores balance to the
universe. In this captivating narrative, explore the contrasting facets of
the sacred feminine; experience her awesome power, forged on the flames of
love and hate; and watch her teach the male-dominated pantheon a lesson in
compassion. Witty, engaging and thought-provoking, Shakti: The Feminine
Divine will force readers to re-evaluate everything they know about the gods
and goddesses and inspire all to embrace the Shakti within.
