Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. A short, highly readable account of the goddess Kali, one of the Hindu pantheon. Not a scholarly exposition, just a short description of the myths and their meaning. In fact, it was almost enough to make me want to become a Kali worshipper! She is certainly much more interesting than many of the gods more familiar to the west, and it made me realize exactly how creative early cultures were. Overall, highly recommended for anyone who has an hour to kill. Even if you're not interested in comparative religions, you'll find the story intriguing and fun.

This attractive addition to Mandala's bestselling mini book series explores Hinduism's most enigmatic figure in all of her glory. A wide range of vivid illustrations, both traditional and contemporary, showcases the paradoxical and often shocking imagery of Kali, whose outrageous appearance and behavior shatter all social conventions. These intense tales recount Kali's origins as the shadow self of Durga goddess who appears in the world in order to save the terrified gods from the demons Sumbha and Nisumbha. Brandishing weapons of destruction and cackling madly, she annihilates an ever-increasing number of miscreants who try her patience. She comes not only to restore balance within the universe, but also to help humanity cut through the bonds of illusion and attachment. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
