Product Description

Synopsis

Kali is commonly known as a manifestation of the Goddess, as her shakti, or energy. She is the fierce expression of the Goddess, appearing in skeletal form with elongated limbs and an enormous tongue that conveys insatiable hunger. Brandishing weapons of destruction, she battles the demons that threaten the cosmos and even terrify the gods. In this generously illustrated mini book, we encounter the enigma of the Great Goddess in all her glory.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful overview of contemporary worship of Ma Kali, 18 April 1999
By A Customer
This is an inspiring book for all lovers of our Great Mother, and gives us understanding of one of her most Archetypal, and complex forms. The author, Elizabeth Harding, has a true insight (rare in a western mind) into the profound nature of Ma Kali, and a real understanding of her worship, as practised in India today. She marvelously expounds the intricacies of the outward rituals, and illuminates the inner philosophy of this loving Goddess, our mother, from whom all things proceed, and to whom all things eventually return. Her essay on the great saint Sri Ramakrishna is most inspiring. Her descriptions of the Temple make it spring to life in the mind of the reader. As you read her vivid rendering of the great Holy days of the Goddess, you are transported there, and can almost hear the chants, and smell the incense. Her understanding of the mysteries of this Goddess is most profound. I heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in Goddess worship. It is also great source material from a religious, theological, anthropological or sociological standpoint. It is greatly empowering! After you read this, you'll want to go on pilgramige to the Temple.

5.0 out of 5 stars kali, 1 Oct 2009
By P. J. De Maziere (Worcestershire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Without dought this is a great book for all those people who are interested in the mother goddess or hinduism. I found it griping right from the start, full of information yet easy to read, as a hindu convert the mother goddess had been somthing of a mystry to me but this book gave me all the answers, so much so that once I started it I could not put it down.
