“This is an excellent introduction into the world of Hindu culture, easy to understand, yet filled with details that will titillate your mind and imagination.” * Sonia von Matt Stoddard, Awareness Magazine, Vol. 16 No.1, Jan/Feb 2009 *“A thoroughly interesting and memorable book.” * Yoga Magazine, Nov 2008 *” … what makes this book different is that Vanamali goes beyond the stories of over thirty avatars in order to discuss the esoteric significance of each incarnation. Vanamali has accomplished the gargantuan task of bringing the many different aspects of Devi into a single book… . spectacularly researched … “ * Sunitha Jayan, Feminist Review, Nov 2008 *“Too often, our sources of information about the Hindu Great Mother arise from Western authors. These authros, no matter how sincere, tinge their works with Western ideas. Vanamali moves us past that blockage. Her understandings are authentic and innate, steeped in the cultural frame she’s lived amid. Vanamali takes us beyond the superficial into a deep understanding of the divine balance between Shakti and Shiva.” * Moondance, Feb 2009 *
