Book Question

[Guest guest]

Hi Prainbow:

 

I've seen the book around -- it's still in print -- but I'm afraid I

haven't read it. What would interest me, however, is its unusual

focus on Northwest India; most studies to date have concentrated on

the better-known Shaktha practices of East (Bengal, Orissa) and South

India. I can also say that Erndl is an lively and engaging writer,

having read a couple of good articles by her.

 

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Has anyone else here had a chance

to read this book?
