Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the world of Sakta worship in Bengal, a devotional tradition focused on the female energy, or Sakti, of Hindu deities. The author delves into the intricacies of this complex and often misunderstood form of Hinduism, examining the worship of Kali and Durga, the consorts of Shiva, and their significance in Bengali culture and history. The book traces the historical development of Sakta worship, drawing on ancient texts and legends to reveal the multifaceted nature of the goddess, ranging from her benevolent and nurturing aspects to her more terrifying and destructive forms. Through an analysis of the hymns and poetry of Ramprasad Sen, a prominent 18th-century Bengali poet, the author illuminates the devotional fervor and philosophical depth of Sakta belief. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the spiritual landscape of Bengal and the enduring power of the feminine divine in Indian religious thought.
