{"product_id":"devi-john-stratton-hawley-9780520200586","title":"Devi: Goddesses of India Volume 7","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 Hawley, Donna Marie Wulff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520200586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520200586\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 07\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.07h x 6.09w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/1996 pg. 69","brand":"John Stratton Hawley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44715579441407,"sku":"9780520200586","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a6c1832-a15e-430b-b625-690cb1569b43.jpg?v=1705672801","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/devi-john-stratton-hawley-9780520200586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
