But in Hinduism, 'God' very often means 'Goddesses.' This extraordinary collection explores twelve different Hindu Goddesses, all of whom are in some way related to Devi, the Great Goddess. They range from the liquid goddess-energy of the River Ganges to the possessing, entrancing heat of Bhagavati and Seranvali. They are local, like Vindhavasini, and global, like Kali; ancient, like Saranyu, and modern, like 'Mother India.' The collection combines analysis of texts with intensive fieldwork, allowing the reader to see how goddesses are worshiped in everyday life. In these essays the divine feminine in Hinduism is revealed as never before -- fascinating, contradictory, powerful. John Stratton Hawley is Professor of Religion at Bernard College and Director of the National Resource Center for South Asia at Columbia University. Donna Marie Wulff is Associate Professor of Religion at Brown University.". Second printing. Soft Cover. Original pictorial wraps. xii, 352pp. .
