Accurate, written from a place of wisdom, compassion & devotion

Really enjoyed this one, I like how the various texts were incorporated and quoted, and the information was accurate and precise. Will be buying the hard copy and already audio booked the author’s next book on Kali.

Con: I wish the narration was done by the author, or someone who is familiar with how Sanskrit is pronounced… as many of the words or mispronounced by virtual voice..
