A wholesome perspective on Goddesses

The third in the series of 7 secrets – of Vishnu, Siva and now the Goddess, the author takes us through the mythological and historical evidence that suggests how the society had turned itself from matriarchy to patriarchy.

Perhaps it’s the keen eye to detail and the ardous task of seeking our definitive evidences which make Devdutt Pattanaik the man he is, as he revels in his unraveling the myths and making meaning out of them.

The structure of the book and the layout makes it easy for the...

Must read for Mytho lovers.

The book is about mythology, highlighting various female gods worshiped by Hindu community with one from Greek mythology. The book looks like a history textbook and gives the same feeling of educational read than fictional. I liked books which has pictures in it which correlates or helps us to visualize the explanations given. Despite being 300 pages book, I liked the shape and size of it.

A Compelling Educative Read

My fourth Devdutt Pattanaik book. There is always a sense of fulfilment when you read a book by Devdutt. He delivers what is promised. Be it Jaya, The Pregnant king or Sita (for the most part), there is a lot of research that has gone into getting the material for the book and it is presented in a way that is easily consumed. Devdutt’s latest book ‘7 Secrets of the Goddess’ is no different either.

The book talks about the secrets of Gaia, Kali, Gauri, Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswathi, and Vitthai...

Oh! My Goddess

Such a scholarly account of major Indian goddesses. The book deals with the evolution and present day significance of the Devi. One must read it to feel proud of the vividness of our Indian culture. You may try this book to enhance your knowledge over the age old question 'why do we worship her'. The account on Devi Kali was one of my favorite. The most beautiful part of the book is that you can read it repeatedly.
