Mother of the Universe: Visions of the Goddess and Tantric Hymns of Enlightenment

by Lex Hixon

Those who love poetry will appreciate the wildly metaphysical, allegorical, and yet intensely honest and personal songs of the eighteenth-century poet and saint Ramprasad. These songs vividly present the mystery of the Feminine Divine, an intimate experience of the Mother, and a vast play of energy sustained by the Goddess Kali.

I'd give this a 2.5/5 if I could here. While I love the hymns and poems dedicated to Kali in it, the introduction is borderline painful to read through (I almost put the book down, it was so bad). Why? The author comes from a Christian background and feels the need to bring up something related to said religion just about every other sentence within the introduction. There is a LOT of comparisons between Kali and the Virgin Mary in the introduction as well.

Lex Hixon's work is like reading a beautiful painting. Mother of the Universe fills the seeker with love for Her. For those who fear Her, there is nothing to fear. God/dess is the One who will scrape away the ego only in Her desire to lead us to enlightenment. She is Beautiful. Once you read Mother of the Universe, you will know what I mean.
