Short and sweet. Straight from Indian mythology as the book outlines three female mythological characters: Parvathi, Devi and Saraswati. Makes for a fascinating reading even for the initiated ones.

Despite being an atheist, Hindu mythology fascinates me, especially what it stands for in its fable nature. In this book, it's Devi, the Goddess how she's represented in many forms and moods.
Devi Parvathi, Devi Saraswati, Devi Durga each stands among themselves for their gentleness, powerful nature, scholarly nature.
Devi is just not Goddess, or a name it's a symbol that stands out representing a soothing wave that can also be Tsunami
Irrespective of facts, I loved how the underlying meaning shows how powerful a woman can be yet also wise with her swaying nature something a man can never be. Hinduism in a way promotes through the idea of Devi to embrace and respect feminine nature that can also be powerful enough to unleash her demonic side.

Another thing I learned a lot of stuff that elders used to say a lot. The reason why Brahma has no temple, why Lord Vishnu born as Lord Ram. Simple, short, powerful and fascinating
