Publisher's summary

Lakshmi massages Vishnu's feet. Is this male domination?

Kali stands on Shiva's chest. Is this female domination?

Shiva is half a woman. Is this gender quality? Why then is Shakti never half a man?

Taken literally, stories, symbols and rituals of Hindu mythology have much to say about gender relationships. Taken symbolically, they reveal many more things about humanity and nature. Which is the correct reading?

The third title in the bestselling Hindu Trinity series focuses on the goddess, and respected mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik tries to unravel the secrets locked within her stories, symbols and rituals.

Simply Amazing!

I marvel at how Dr Devdutta Pattanaik decodes Hindu Mythology and puts everything into perspective.

Thank God for Devdutt

There must be two Devdutts. Devdutt, the author and Devdutt, the Twitter troll who would disgust you. It is hard to fathom that its the same person writing about the Devi and saying things to females (and males) on social media that who have been hardly acceptable in a hostel. He subscribes to a certain 'camp' of thought so watch out for that.

But,

Devdutt always manages to open up portals to understanding the icons of Indian mythology better than ever.
A fantastic insight with enough mind-benders and revelations that satisfy even the most casual listener.

He reminds me of Dan Brown, really. I can only imagine how would a novel written by Devdutt would be.

Highly recommended book.
