{"product_id":"devi-john-stratton-9789382277453","title":"Devi: The Goddesses Of India","description":"The monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam have severely limited the portrayal of the divine as feminine. But in Hinduism 'God' very often means 'Goddess'. 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 Vindhyavasini 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 compelling essays, the divine feminine in Hinduism is revealed as never before-fascinating, contradictory, powerful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Stratton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9382277455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789382277453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupa Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.82d","brand":"John Stratton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213436711167,"sku":"9789382277453","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43bb9832-804d-4ba2-9c71-c84f454f3861.jpg?v=1692113881","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/devi-john-stratton-9789382277453","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
