This book talks about the importance of feminine even in the godly affair. This is a captivating read which you can finish in 3 sitting. I personally loved the narration of goddesses. The narration is impeccable and language is beautiful. The story further moves to the Indra, his wife Sachi and the formation of goddess kali. He creates havoc and none of the gods able to kill him. To protect his throne Indra kills many of the innocents thus Mahisasur born with an aim to kill Indra.

She is the one who hates Shakti and always make a plan to put down her. Indra, the king of heaven is always insecure and is triggered by his cunning wife Sachi. Usas, goddess of dawn who is an avatar of Shakti was molested by Lord Brahma insulted by Indra ran away and takes the form of goddess Durga. The author has started the story with the controversial mythology story where Lord Brahma gets attracted to his daughter. This book starts with the emergence of Shakti the Prakriti who is the womb of the three worlds, without her, the world canвЂ™t exist. So letвЂ™s move to see what this book offers.
