The Sword and the Flute: Kali and Krsna- Dark Visions of the Terrible and the Sublime in Hindu Mythology (Hermeneutics, Studies in the History of Religions)

Love the book very in

Text for a class. Very used copy, but I knew it would be.

The book can in time........it was like new........good book, it shoes how both deities are interconnected.....a must read for those interested.

Kali is simply not associated with thieves, blood sacrifice and is irrelevant where she is "born" from. Western academics that try and vilify Kali despite her being the mother goddess do a lot of harm to the publics perception of real peoples actual religious views.Its as if this author watched Indiana Jones and believed that to be at all a correct interpretation of Mother Kali. I would recommend everyone to steer clear of this.

A good place to start your research into Hindiuism.
