Blurb

This book is an attempt to draw closer to the essence of the Divine and shatter the several myths we might be dwelling on. It is branched into two parts. Part 1 is a narration by Mahadevi for a rational mind. 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 entrancing stories based on the nine forms of Mahadevi described vividly in Part 1, revealing her qualities in the every day women of Kali Yuga. These tales set in today’s times ask a silent yet germane question to all those who worship Her – if they can identify their Durga when they see one. Do they have the Eye for Durga!

My Opinion

Ya Devi Sarvabhuteshu...................................

 

Mahadevi by Priyanka Sharma Kaintura is a beautiful portrayal of "Adishakti" and her forms. I have read many stories of NavDurga in my childhood. All of them just came alive in this book. It was a spiritual journey of around 300 pages. Each story starts with a small description of the goddess. But first, I would like to talk about the cover. I felt the cover has a dual meaning where we see the goddess holding traditional weapons, but, not only that, she is a mother and has many more forms. My favorite has always been "Sati", who sacrificed her life for honor. And it is not just some spiritual story book; it portrays every woman in this world. Woman who is a mother, wife, teacher, or warrior. These goddesses are a true inspiration for us in today's world, where the youth is lost in following fake role models. Also, the author has included "Durga Stuti" to make the atmosphere more powerful.

 

This book is a celebration of power and motherhood. After reading it, you are definitely going to feel the love and power of "Durga". There are so many small details provided in the stories. Each goddess symbolizes a different power. Be it "Maa Saraswati", who shows us the way to knowledge and wisdom, or "Maa Kushmanda", who is the bringer of life. And if you are reading about them for the first time, then it is going to open a new door to the spiritual world for you. Definitely, the book deserves 5 stars.
