About this ebook
Goddess Durga and Sacred Female Power is an exploration of the many faces of the Goddess Durga in ancient and contemporary culture. This book takes us on a pilgrimage to goddess temples and natural shrines, to visit shamans and living goddesses in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal, and to India for the annual ten-day Durga Festival. The mythology, rituals, philosophy, and spiritual practices of this distinctly female-centered and millennia-old tradition of Durga offer an alternative model of female potential and empowerment, focusing on peace, healing, spiritual liberation, and realization of inherent divinity.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow, just WOW. I am an American (and white) Durga devotee and Shakta, and this book blew me away! Though I was aware of much of the general information, the presentation was immaculate. Laura truly wrote this book from the heart, and I loved every second of it.
