This is a great book and was recommended to me by someone proficient on ancient deities. Very detailed info about Goddess Lakshmi; a lot of need to know information.

Also beautiful color paintings and photos of Lakshmi and other deities. Great book to have in your collection if you are fond of Goddess Lakshmi or want to learn about Hindu Religion and Deities.

4.0 out of 5 stars Joyous Introduction to a Multifaceted Diety
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2006
Verified Purchase
I found this book a very loving and joyous celebration of Lakshmi. The scholarship was definitely top rate, but just as important to me, the author had a real relationship to Lakshmi. The illustrations are beautiful and really help explain the different dimensions of the goddess's activity and importance.

Absolutely amazing. I don't know where else I could have turned to learn most of this. Top rate scholarship to find the stories of Lakshmi plus a deep understanding and insight into the stories and their meaning.

5.0 out of 5 stars GORGEOUS BOOK ON LAKSHMI!
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2008
First of all, the photos and paintings and calendar prints are enough to make this an art book! Absolutely stunning collection at your fingertips most in color! Also, theres loads of traditional, newer, and ancient oral tales of this aspect of the mother goddess, Lakshmi. It is just beautiful. I cant say much more. Ive had this book for awhile and realized I never gave it a review! Its wonderful! Do get it! (I got mine from a seller on here--Nataraj Books--who sells it for about 13 bucks and brand new!) JAI LAKSHMI!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and misleading
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2022
I did not experience this as the love song to Lakshmi as a "museum book" that I thought and hoped it would be. Lots in the book has little to do with Her. I did not experience this as a Goddess-centered book that brought Her more deeply into me in Beauty, awe or reverence. This expensive book came severely bent in two places and would have suited a hard cover instead. I want the Lakshmi art book compiled by female Devotees of Her born of their reverence and their Goddess-focused reverence and adoration.
