It explores how the rituals associated with prominent Hindu deities like Vishnu (in his avatars as Rama and Krishna) and Siva have evolved through syncretism. Within Hinduism, the worship of the Female energy, Sakti, connected to these deities, demonstrates the recognition of the dual forces in nature—Male (pursha) and Female (Prakriti). Saktism centers its devotion on deities such as Durga and Kali, Siva's consort. Within Sakta hymns, one can find references to the philosophy and practices of this religious tradition. The book provides English translations of lyrics from Sakta literature, authored by various poets, and includes an introduction that traces the development of Saktism and its contributions to literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gyan Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46194974490775,"sku":"9788121282680","price":147.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788121282680.webp?v=1769299506","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-heritage-of-india-series-10-bengali-religious-lyrics-sakta-9788121282680","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
