RELG 206 - Hindu Goddesses

Divine feminine power (shakti) has stood the test of time in the Indian subcontinent. Goddess theology has thrived, transformed and expanded throughout known history. Students examine conceptions of shakti through literary, oral, and other artistic expressions. Mythological narratives of goddesses and epic heroines, taken from classical Sanskrit texts, folkloric traditions and iconography-as well as from contemporary genres such as novel, film and comics-will serve as primary source material in this introduction to divine feminine power in Hindu Goddess traditions.
