Shakti - Realm of the Divine Mother By Vanamali

Vanamali explores Shakti, the Devi or Divine Mother, understood as the power that manifests, sustains and transforms the universe. The book presents more than 30 goddess aspects of the Shakti force, both beneficial and fierce.

Goddesses discussed range from Lakshmi, Parvati and Saraswati to Durga, Chandika and Kali, with Sanskrit hymns and classic verses by Sri Aurobindo for each. Vanamali also notes the worship of a cosmic mother in Greek, Egyptian and Babylonian cultures.
