Description:There are countless, ancient myths about the great Indian Goddess, her manifestations and powers. The goddess is referred to as Shakti which in Sanskrit means energy: the capacity to do. The goddess myths chosen for this book exemplify this capability and potent energy to be found in all men or women, for our Shakti lies in the ability to learn, to act, to transform ourselves, to care, and to be humane. The chapters are structured around Lakshmi, the goddess of well-being, Sarasvati, goddess of learning and creativity, Durga the invincible warrior-goddess, and Sita, the daughter of the earth, The narrative then returns to the central theme of a single goddess endowed with many forms and attributes: Sati, Uma, and in conclusion, Parvati. These ancient myths are provocative and seductive, abounding in humor and symbolism, as gods and goddesses play, quarrel among themselves, move mountains, defend the universe, battle demons, make love. The chapters are variously constructed, each adopting a unique approach in order to give full rein to the insights afforded by particular myths and their metaphors. Every generation has reinterpreted traditional myths to find answers to the mysteries and challenges of life. Shobita Punja retells these age-old myths and interprets them in the context of the personal significance they have held for her and their contemporary relevance in the lives of individuals everywhere.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
