Reading Notes D: Seven Secrets of the Goddess

Chapter 3
Kali is nature and Guri is culture. Female is the matter and the man is the mind.  Vishnu is the only god that understands these two goddesses. Shiva disagrees that women are property etc. Sita and Shiva are married.  Shiva father turns away from her. She jumps into the fire and dies, Sita carries her around. He sprinkles her body around to have places to worship. Shiva has a son with 6 heads. Parvati asks for a son and Shiva says no. She makes her own. He gets jealous and kills him and then replaces his head. She becomes the food goddess.
(Gauri)

Guy 1: I am from Canada Girl 1: I am from Mexico  Guy 2: I am from America Everyone was shouting out where they were from. There were over 30 people enjoying the tour bus today.  Susan: The Lac Palace is home of the Prince Duryodhana who was cousins of the Pandavas.

Many people believed that Prince Duryodhana was so jealous that he wanted to burn his own family alive so that his people would love him more.  Guy 1: So how did the Pandavas and the Queen Kunit escape?
