The Sword and the FluteÑKali and Krsna: Dark Visions of the Terrible and (Hermeneutics: Studies in the History of Religions)

Summary: A scholarly yet very readable study
Review: This book truly brings these two highly interesting Hindu dieties to life. Kinsley clearly illustrates the various truths each deity represents within the Hindu tradition. The reader is not only left well educated about Kali and Krishna but about the rich character of the Hindu religious tradition as a whole. Perhaps the most enjoyable book I've ever read concerning Hindu religion.
