"The Divine Consort offers a unique exploration of the history and legacy of goddesses in Hinduism. Leading scholars present a many-sided analysis of Radha, Krishna's lover and consort; they examine her character as it emerges in Sanskrit and vernacular literature, her intimate relation to Krishna and the theology that surrounds her. Richly illustrated, The Divine Consort provides a fascinating glimpse of Indian religion and culture for the Western reader." Publisher's description.

All orders ship within two business days. Orders outside of Australia are shipped via Air Mail and can take 2 to 3 weeks to arrive. Very occasionally books are lost in transit. It is vital in these cases that we are informed promptly as it becomes almost impossible to trace, even an insured package, after a period. Please contact us if you are concerned that your parcel has taken too long to arrive. Our packing is of the highest standard and it is very rare for faulty packaging to be the cause.

Guarantee

We want you to be 100% satisfied in all your dealings with us. We are experienced booksellers who appreciate the importance of condition and make every effort to carefully and fairly describe each book we handle. To ensure this happens we take great pains to accurately describe the condition of our books in cases, such as antiquarian or secondhand books, where a condition description is required. If you see no explanation of condition in a description of a book, you can safely assume that it is either a new book or is a secondhand/out of print book in excellent condition.
