HE GODS AND SHE GODS

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.
