Linda Johnsen. A brief review of two of her literature.

[Guest guest]

I so far have read The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hinduism and the Living Goddess

by Linda Johnsen. I really, really enjoyed reading them, especially the Living

Goddess. Reading these brings a sense of peace and an ease of tension and

questioning in my mind, at least to a degree.

 

Anyone in the group looking to understand Shaktism, whether super novice (like

me) or already experienced practitioners, I definitely recommend these books for

reading. I even read some excerpts to my mom, about the goddess Kali, and she

was impressed with how the author handled her and she herself is a Catholic.

She is amazed at how Linda helps portray things to the Western eyes and is now

even considering reading the book.

 

I really thank Devi Bhakta and anyone else here who recommended these readings.

My mom is even more confident that I am picking the path to knowledge that is

best for me (though I definitely have much to learn). I also wish to thank

everyone here who have put up with me thus far. ;-)

 

Oh, on a note...does anyone have any differing opinions? I am welcome to keep

mindful of different reviews. I am very, VERY happy about these pieces of

literature and how much I enjoy them, but I also know that my opinion is not the

only one existing. Anything to be mindful of, on a constructive and scholarly

level?

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Jai Ma!
