Mahadevi – The Unseen Truth Behind Existence

This book is an attempt to draw closer to the essence of divine feminine and shatter the several myths we might be dwelling on.

Mahadevi is branched into two parts.

Part 1 is a narration for the rational mind by Aadi Shakti Mahadevi. It is an account of some enthralling events through the multiverse, inhabited by numerous celestial beings, in the backdrop of the genesis of this universe. A chronicle of Gods and Goddesses, their struggles, the devious web of right and wrong, love in its complete glory, its absence, ecstasies, miseries, and the wars of the worlds.

Part 2 is an anthology of nine entrancing stories, many based on true events, revealing often unheeded qualities of Mahadevi nesting within everyday women of Kali Yuga.

Voices of Admiration

An intriguing exploration of mythology and creation, Mahadevi tells our ancient stories and ties them to the natural world around us. I congratulate Priyanka Sharma Kaintura on her creative work and wish her all the best for her writing career.

It is a book that brings to life a hitherto unseen and unexplored take on Hindu Goddesses. A delicious blend of ancient history and contemporary storytelling with a nuanced perspective on womanhood and its often-unremarked prowess. A brilliant read indeed.

Author & Scientist

Here is an audacious attempt to retell the story that the humanity first heard from Bharat, in a refreshingly engaging way. Read this book to discover what an incredibly illuminating perspective we have been deprived of in the name of secular education.

A brilliant book that neatly deconstructs the divine feminine and its cogent manifestations for the mind of today.

A breathtaking confluence of ancient history and the compelling journey of womanhood through cons.

Reader Reviews

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

Rayna

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

Prajwal

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

Ayswarya

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 –
