The Shakti Coloring Book: Goddesses, Mandalas, and the Power of Sacred Geometry

Lovely book, with great illustrations, ready to colour in. Informative explanations of the history of each Shakti, with related mandalas, chants, and instructions for colour schemes. Also, very useful instruction for the meditative practise of colouring. It's really not my kind of thing, but I did find it a relaxing aid to a different kind of meditation. Also inspired me to make a new quilt. Would make a great present too.

If you like Harsh Johari's "Tools for Tantra", you'll love this. Not only do you get the yantras to colour but you get the corresponding devis too with lots of information about the elements within each. And there is instruction in how to construct your own yantras. I was expecting a bog-standard colouring book but this is a rich and informative book to treasure.

This is a wonderful book to work with. The paper is great for pencils. It is very informative, you learn as you colour and read. Love it! Already sent it to a friend. Great also to travel with and take with you....color when you have a little time in between things.

Such a beautiful book, lovely explanations and descriptions. A great doorway to hours and hours of peaceful attention to oneself.

The best colouring book I've seen

Fabulous been looking for something like this for years

Of 125 pages, just 40 pictures, some of them quite dark in nature too. Rest of the book is text about the various Indian goddesses. If you want to study this subject matter fine. If you just want a colouring book don't waste your money. Mine went straight to the charity shop, didn't want some of the dark pictures in the house.

returned... more text than colouring pages..

Ein tiefgründiges Erlebnis mit diesem Buch zu arbeiten, eine Schatztruhe für Sucher nach Erkenntnis. Das Buch ist sehr gut recherchiert und geht auf viele alte spirituelle Texte ein. Ich würde allerdings sagen, dieses Buch ist nur was für Fortgeschrittene, das ist nichts mit dem Amateure rumpfuschen sollten. Wer Mandalas malen will, sollte was anderes bestellen. Wer Shaktiarbeit machen will, ist hier richtig.

This is a beautiful book. No question.However the way it was packed caused damage to the cover on the front and back of the book. In addition to that, the DHL delivery service was very poorly done with the package being delivered a day late to a very sweet but also disabled neighbor. There was no reason for this since we were home on the day of delivery and on the day of re-delivery.I know Prime delivery is free, but I believe someone pays DHL for their consistently bad service.

Beautiful book

Content:This book is not for women who are ashamed of the female body and think it's "dirty". This book is also not for those who can't handle violence in ancient religions. Now, if you are an honest seeker of Shakti, what it means to be Shakti, and The meaning of the colorscapes to religous art then this book is for you! I wish I would have had this in college when I took an ancient religions course. Teacher would have went nuts in a good way and made this required reading.In short, buy this book. Learn something, or refresh in knowledge if you already know.Coloring:The paper is thin. Colored pencils and high quality crayons only.

Il libro da colorare più bello che io abbia mai avuto. I disegni delle divinità indù sono bellissimi, curati nei particolari e danno molta soddisfazione una volta terminati.
