Kali

by Ajit Mookerjee

"Although she is often presented (in her warrior aspect) as cruel and horrific, with her lolling red tongue and necklace of severed heads, Kali is creator and nurturer - the essence of Mother-love and feminine energy (Sakti). As Divine Mother Lotus-goddess, she brings worlds to birth, sustains them and absorbs them, in a never-ending cycle of her own opening and closing."--back cover. The author draws on the powerful imagery of painting, sculpture, and literature in this celebration of the Hindu goddess.
