What is Durga? I've never come across this term before (that I can remember).
I fancy myself a student of world religions (although an atheist). I am woefully ignorant of Hinduism. Tell me more.

11. Do you have a favorite English translation of the Gita? |
|
Edited on Wed Oct-20-04 06:42 PM by flamingyouth
I like reading Hindu literature, like the Ramayana, the Gita, and even a very abridged version of the Mahabharata.
On edit - I've always felt a real connection to Kali. :evilgrin:

Isn't the whole version enormous? I've read two different English translations, but they are pretty short. Yes, I agree, it's much more interesting that the Ramayana, but both are good.
