McDaniel identifies three major forms of goddess worship, and examines each through its myths, folklore, songs, rituals, sacred texts, and practitioners.She traces these strands through Bengali culture and explores how they are interwoven with each other as well as with other forms of Hinduism and other forms of religion. McDaniel also discusses how Shakti practices have been reinterpreted in the West, where goddess worship has gained the values ofsexual freedom and psychological healing, but lost its emphases on devotion and asceticism. She takes the reader inside the lives of practicing Shaktas, including religious professionals, hymn singers, philosophers, visionaries, gurus, and even a businessman, and offers vivid descriptions of theirrituals, practices, and daily lives. Drawing on years of fieldwork and extensive research, McDaniel paints a rich, expansive portrait of this fascinating religious tradition.Kali (Hindu deity)CultIndiaWest BengalShaktismIndiaWest BengalWest Bengal (India)Religious life and customsKali (Hindu deity)CultShaktism294.5/514/095414McDaniel June859255MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955540003321Offering flowers, feeding skulls4399327UNINA
