A book that delves into cosmic dance of creation and destruction, where the God is a doer and Goddess is enabler. The most interesting aspect was the manifested and unmanifested parts of Mahadevi. It shows how the unmanifested part is omnipresent while manifestation happens on a need basis to unite with Shiva. It was a wonderful concept and it makes you understand the Goddess beyond the realms of rituals and prayers. It Makes you realise each aspect of Goddess is connected to how life flows on this planet

Who is she, how she created the world, what is her role in this universe, and her heart melting love for Shiv; she narrates everything in her own words. I guarantee that every reader will be in awe! Even when you know everything, you still will be in awe, that good is her narration!

To me it was not a mythologist talking to me in the language of science, to me the book was like a scientist from a very advanced civilisation trying to explain the advanced history of our ancients to us –

Must read for all women and anyone who wants to read Devi Mahatmya in English. I recently read an English translation of Shiv Purana Vol 1 by Bibek Debroy and I got the same vibes while reading Mahadevi

Reading the book itself was a true privilege for me. I was so intrigued by the cover that I decided to read the book. But little did I know, the book would turn out to be the most interesting read this year! I was mesmerised, stunned, when I turned the pages over and over. The description, the writing style, and the presentation of the story were too good. The amount of power and beauty this book holds is incomparable

This book is an attempt to demolish the various misconceptions we may be clinging to while getting closer to the core of their divine.

The title of the book is so simple, yet so powerful - Mahadevi, the unseen truth behind existence. It instantly aroused curiosity inside me. Questions that I have had as a Hindu but I don’t have concrete books about: at least not that I understand since I don’t know Sanskrit

The love! Uff! Pulchritudinous! The love of Shiv and Shivaa itself is beyond any other love story. So comparing this book to any other romance book to praise and explain its beauty is out of the question. I was enthralled, beguiled and allured into this gorgeous love story. A book where Mahadevi herself was narrating her own story! When a power so gentle yet fierce narrates her story, its bound to give anyone goosebumps!

A divine tapestry weaving myth and modernity
