Thank you! I appreciate your openness to fresh perspectives and new sources. >For instance, I had >no idea about any of the books you just mentioned -- >and would love to hear as much about them as you are >willing and able to share! I don't have copies of the mahapurana material with me right now, and am reluctant to say a lot about it without the primary sources in front of me. I will be willing and able to share more about the writings when I get a chance to visit the library again, probably in a few days. >For starters, let me ask you this: Brown was referring >strictly to the "Great Goddess" tradition in the >comment I quoted; i.e. Devi as Brahman, the One >without a second, etc. Do the books you mention have >this concentration also? A fragment I noted down some time ago from a translation of the Uma Samhita of the Shiva Purana -- it describes the Goddess as "the inner guide of all, the witness in every creature, whose nature is the supreme Brahman". >On another subject, I've found a few interesting new >passages on the "permissible" bhavas in approaching >Devi as a bhakta. I'll try and get those up this week; >would love to hear your perspective. That's good to hear. I look forward to reading them.
