This book provides a translation, with introduction, commentary, & annotation, of the medieval Hindu Sanskit text the Devi Gita (song of the Goddess). It is an important but not well-known text from the rich Sakta (Goddess) tradition of India. The Devi Gita was composed around the fifteenth century C.E, inpartial imitation of the famous Bbagavad Gita (song of the Lord), composed C.B, in partial imitation of the faous Bhagavad Gita (song of the Lord), compodes some fifteen centuries earlier. Around the sixth century C.B, following the rise of several male deities to prominence, a new theistic movement began in which the supreme being was envisioned as iemale, known as the Great Goddess (Maha-Devi). Appearing firet as a violent & blood-loving deity, this Goddess gradually evolved into a more benign figure, a compassionate World-Mother & bestower of salvific wisdom. It is in this benefic- ent mode that the Goddess appears in the Devi Gita. This work makes available an up-to-date translation of the Devi Gita, along with a historical & theologi- cal & theological analysis of the text. The book is divided into sections of verses, & each section is followed by a comment explaining key terms, concepts, ritual procedures, & mythic themes. The com-mennts also offer comparisons with related schools of thought, indicate parallel textual sources of vers- es in the Devi Gita, & briefly elucidate the historical & religious background, supplementing the remarks of the introuction.

This book questions the conventional wisdom that a fully matured of the yugas—Hinduism’s ages of the world—is integral to the Mahabharata, & it illustrates how traditional commentators & modern scholars have read the later Puranic yuga theory into the Mahabharata, in particular whan it comes to placing the action at the beginning of the current terrible Kali Yuga. Luis Gonzalea-Reimann discusses the meaning of key terms in the epic by examining the text & ealy Buddhist sources. This book also traces the sectarian appropriation of the yuga system in later literature & documents have used the system to proclaim the arrival of a new, prosperous Krta Yuga, a phenomenon that coincides with New Age expectations. One of the main characteristic features of Hinduism is a complex system of world ages & cycles of creation & destruction. Within this elaborate system, the theory of the yuhas has always played a prominent role. It explains why society is as it is, & it describes the best course of action for someone who want to live according to religious principles. The theory also explaains, in mytholo- gical terms, important historical transformations in the religionus, moral, & social values of the Indian subcontinent.
