The Great Mother is humanity's most primordial, pervasive, and fruitful image of reality. Either secreatly or openly she appears with extra-ordinary power wisdom and tenderness at the core of every noble culture. She illuminates the entire universe because she is not some local or limited goddess but our Universal Mother. She expresses herself fluently through and within every sacred tradition, without needing to call attention to her feminine nature.

Review

No one who wants to approach and enjoy the mystery of the Divine Feminine in its paradoxical glory should be without this book. --Andrew Harvey, author of Hidden Journey, Journey in Ladakh, and coauthor of Dialogues with a Modern Mystic

In this delightful translation by Lex Hixon, we hear the pillow talk of the mystic poet Ramprasad to his Goddess Kali, Mother of the Universe, Mother of Reality-a tantric love affair with the Divine that will completely enchant the reader. --Catherine Ingram, author of In the Footsteps of Gandhi: Conversations with Spiritual/ Social Activists

Mother of the Universe is a fascinating example of the devotion inspired by Ma Kali, one of the very few manifestations of the ancient Primal Goddess still actively worshiped today. This book is a revelation for the uninitiated and a joy for those who already know the Goddess. --Barbara Walker, author of The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets, The Skeptical Feminist, and Amazon
