This truly pocket-sized book (smaller than 4 x 5 inches) explores Hinduism's most enigmatic figure in all her glory. The outrageous and violent Kali is depicted in a wide range of illustrations, both traditional and contemporary, accompanying tales of her origins as the shadow-self of Durga—a goddess who appears in the world in order to save the terrified gods from powerful demons. Brandishing weapons of death and cackling madly, Kali annihilates an ever-increasing number of miscreants who try her patience, restoring balance in the universe and cutting through the bonds of illusion and attachment.
