Hinduism, by contrast, preserves a rich and continuous tradition of goddess worship. \u003ci\u003eA Garland of Forgotten Goddesses\u003c\/i\u003e conveys the diversity of this tradition by bringing together a fresh array of captivating and largely overlooked Hindu goddess tales from different regions. As the first such anthology of goddess narratives in translation, this collection highlights a range of sources from ancient myths to modern lore. The goddesses featured here battle demons, perform miracles, and grant rare Tantric visions to their devotees. Each translation is paired with a short essay that explains the goddess's historical and social context, elucidating the ways religion adapts to changing times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Slouber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520375742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520375741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Michael Slouber","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942596477183,"sku":"9780520375741","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a2b12bd6-616d-41c1-9232-e7724f0c2a11.jpg?v=1681493269","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-garland-of-forgotten-goddesses-michael-slouber-9780520375741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
