Description
Description
India is one place where the feminine aspect of divinity has always been appreciated, and this book brings it to light for Western readers. The approach is at once deep and broad. The first part of the book presents a many-sided analysis of a single divinity, Radha, Krishna's lover and consort. The essays in the second half of the book provide general perspectives on the feminine dimension in Indian religion, and a rich selection of illustrations has been drawn from the collections of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
