8 reviews for One God, Two Goddesses: Three Studies of South Indian Cosmology

  1. Aditi Rawat –

    A fascinating look at Murugan, Gangamma, and Paiditalli. The author has done brilliant work with ritual studies, and the divine feminine and masculine are well presented, however, it could be a little dry.

  2. Adarsh Akula –

    A profound exploration of Tamil and Andhra deities! Handelman’s insights into their roles in shaping their worlds are captivating. Definitely recommend!

  3. Tani Gupta –

    Intriguing exploration of South Indian cosmology! Handelman’s insights are thought-provoking, though I found some sections a bit dense. Overall, a worthwhile read for those interested in religious studies.

  4. Surya Prakash Sahoo –

    This book is a dense but rewarding read. Handelman provides great insight into the Gods and Godesses. Some of the descriptions are a little too detailed though.

  5. Sunny B Joseph –

    Handelman’s deep dive into South Indian deities is impressive. I especially enjoyed the sections on ritual. A valuable contribution to the field, despite the slow pace.

  6. Prashant Pradumna Pandey –

    While the topic is interesting, the writing style felt academic and difficult to follow. I struggled to connect with the material despite my genuine interest in South Indian cosmology.

  7. Ramandeep Kaur –

    I enjoyed learning about Murugan, Gangamma, and Paiditalli, but the book could have used more real-world examples to make the concepts more relatable.

  8. Sakshi Sharma –

    I was hoping for a more accessible introduction to the topic. The book felt too scholarly for a casual reader, and the writing could be simplified. It’s an okay read.
