sant Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 http://www.mid-day.com/specials/2009/mar/220309-Parrot-Indian-mythology-folktales-Devdutt-Pattnaik-erotic-stories-Suka-Saptati.htm many south Indian temples, the Goddess holds a parrot in her hand. This is the gentle form of Devi, a contrast from her more fierce form where she is associated with tigers and lions. Both Kamakshi of Kanchi and Meenakshi of Madurai hold parrots. These goddesses are various forms of Parvati, wife of Shiva. In this form she is the love-goddess or enchantress who charms Shiva and transforms the hermit-god into a householder, thus ensuring a participation of god in worldly life. Thus, parrot or Suka has very strong sexual and romantic connotations. Little wonder then that one of the earliest collections of erotic stories in India is known as Suka-Saptati or 70 tales of the parrot. http://www.mid-day.com/specials/2009/mar/220309-Parrot-Indian-mythology-folktales-Devdutt-Pattnaik-erotic-stories-Suka-Saptati.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamakshi_Amman_Temple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
