Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There is a city in South India where a goddess, not a god, has always ruled.Kanchipuram is one of Hinduism's seven sacred cities said to grant liberation - but unlike Ayodhya or Mathura, it was never the birthplace of an avatar or the setting for someone else's story. At its heart sits Kamakshi: not a consort waiting beside a more famous god, but Adi Parashakti herself, the primordial power said to have arisen from the fire of consciousness to save creation, and to have chosen - of her own will - to remain at Kanchi forever after.This book follows her full story. It traces her origin in the ancient Lalitopakhyana and her place among the fifty-one Shakti Peethas; the geometry of the Sri Chakra installed before her image and the Srividya tradition built around it; and the arrival of a young philosopher named Adi Shankaracharya, who is remembered as finding her worship in crisis - and who left behind the composed, seated goddess still worshipped today, along with an unbroken monastic lineage that continues to this hour.It walks the temple itself, shrine by shrine - the formless Lakshmi hidden on a sanctum wall, the goddess Varahi who once commanded Lalita's armies, the small daily ritual in which Kamakshi's own procession still pauses at Shankaracharya's shrine to take symbolic leave of him before entering the streets. It steps beyond her walls to Ekambareswarar's ancient mango tree, to the untouched eighth-century perfection of the Kailasanathar temple, and to Varadaraja Perumal's wooden deity, raised from a temple tank once every forty years before crowds in the millions. It follows the festival calendar that brings the whole city into motion, and the silk, scholarship, and diaspora devotion that carry Kanchi's memory into the present day - from Tamil Nadu to a refugee-built temple in Germany.Written with equal parts devotion and rigor, Kanchipuram draws on Puranic literature, temple inscriptions, and current scholarship alike - and is honest, throughout, about where tradition and documented history agree, and where they still leave real questions open. The result is a portrait of a city and a goddess that neither flattens the mystery nor apologizes for it.For readers of sacred geography, Hindu philosophy, South Indian temple history, or anyone planning a pilgrimage to Kanchipuram, this is the fullest single account of why this city, and this goddess, have mattered for over a thousand years - and still do.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Ramayana is remembered as the story of a prince's exile, a demon king's fall, and a war fought to reclaim a stolen queen. But behind every turning point in this epic stands a woman whose choice, sacrifice, or silence shaped the course of the story. Women of the Ramayana brings together eighteen of these figures - some celebrated, some vilified, many nearly forgotten - and tells their stories on their own terms. Meet Sita, whose steadfastness became both her strength and her burden. Kaikeyi, remembered as a villain, whose motives were far more complicated than a single boon. Mandodari, the wise queen of Lanka who begged her husband to return what he had taken. Ahalya, turned to stone by a curse and restored by grace. Shurpanakha, whose humiliation lit the spark of war. And Manthara, the maidservant blamed for fourteen years of exile. Alongside these well-known names are the women history nearly erased: Urmila, who slept for fourteen years so her husband's brother would not stand watch alone; Sunayana, Sita's mother, mentioned in a handful of verses; Trijata, a rakshasi in Ravana's court who showed Sita unexpected kindness; and Sarama, who chose loyalty to truth over loyalty to her adopted homeland. Organized into four parts - Wives, Mothers, Adversaries, and Ascetics & Devotees - this book draws on Valmiki's original text alongside regional retellings from Tamil, Bengali, and other traditions to show how each woman's story has been told, retold, and reinterpreted across centuries. Each chapter traces a woman's role in the narrative, the choices attributed to her, the variations across different tellings of the epic, and her lasting symbolic place in Hindu tradition - from temple iconography to modern feminist readings of the epic. Whether you come to the Ramayana as a devotee, a student of mythology, or someone drawn to stories of complicated, resilient women, this book offers a fuller picture of an epic too often told through only its central hero.…
