HE GODS AND SHE GODS
IN THE WEST, God is
referred to in the masculine gender. If we write He, we mean God.
In India, there are Devi temples of different hues . The mild, music loving Sarasvathy
has only a few temples. Durga is neutral and the Prasad is sandal paste. Kali
is always serious and likes bloody sacrifices of goat, fowl and even babies, as in the temple
at Calcutta.
In Tamilnadu, Mariamman is very popular. She is a Dravidian
Godess.
Devimahathmiam is a sacred
book as also, Lalitha sahasranamam According to the Devi cult, she came
first and made other gods.
