Surya
Sanjna basked in the warmth of her husband, the radiant Sun God, Surya. But sometime, the sun's glare got uncomfortably fierce, and Sanjna could not bear it. She devised the perfect cover for herself - Chhaya, her mirror image! Away from the blazing Surya, the lonely Sanjna pined for her beloved. Eventually, a way had to be found to ensure everyone's happiness.
Devī
The monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have severely limited the portrayal of the divine as feminine. But in Hinduism "God" very often means "Goddess." This extraordinary collection explores twelve different Hindu goddesses, all of whom are in some way related to Devi, the Great Goddess. They range from the liquid goddess-energy of the River Ganges to the possessing, entrancing heat of Bhagavati and Seranvali. They are local, like Vindhyavasini, and global, like Kali; ancient, like Saranyu, and modern, like "Mother India." The collection combines analysis of texts with intensive fieldwork, allowing the reader to see how goddesses are worshiped in everyday life. In these compelling essays, the divine feminine in Hinduism is revealed as never before--fascinating, contradictory, powerful.

Encounters With Men Of Miracles
This book is a graphic facetoface account of encounters with unusual men and women – the faithhealers, the flesh mortifiers, the mystics who materialise ash and honey, black magicians, yogis who stop their pulse and heart beat, death defiers who get buried alive and live to tell the tale, spiritual seance mediums who act as transmitters between the living and the dead, and much more. Some mysteries of the Universe are beyond man’s comprehension, yet they never fail to ignite his curiosity. The very fact that these psychic phenomena cannot be exhibited by everyone, adds to their peculiar allure. This book is an objective sally into this realm. What gives some mortals these superpowers? Science has not yet found all the answers. Hear what the mystics and miracle men say in their own versions of what exactly happens to them on the psychic, physical and metaphysical planes, when they are going through these experiences.
The Bedtrick
"Somehow I woke up one day and found myself in bed with a stranger." Meant literally or figuratively, this statement describes one of the best-known plots in world mythology and popular storytelling. In a tour that runs from Shakespeare to Hollywood and from Abraham Lincoln to Casanova, the erudite and irrepressible Wendy Doniger shows us the variety, danger, and allure of the "bedtrick," or what it means to wake up with a stranger. The Bedtrick brings together hundreds of stories from all over the world, from the earliest recorded Hindu and Hebrew texts to the latest item in the Weekly World News, to show the hilariously convoluted sexual scrapes that people manage to get themselves into an...

Splitting the Difference
Hindu and Greek mythologies teem with stories of women and men who are doubled. This text recounts and compares a range of these. The comparisons show that differences in gender are more significant than differences in culture.
