Book Review: Awaken the Durga Within - From Glum to Glam, Caged to Carefree by Usha Narayanan

In the name of age-old culture how many of us women are stomped from letting our self be just us everyday every moment in our life. Here in this book Usha Narayanan the best selling author of the mythological novels has brought out this amazing book. Here with examples from the very age-old Puranas she gives imparts strength and power to women to take control.

The Puranas are considered to be the base of our cultures, isn't it? And it is full of mentions of Godesses and how she is shakthi, kamini, and durga as well. So why not revive the very essence of them from inside us, from inside our souls.

 The very plus of this book and what I really loved about it is how Usha Narayanan has blended the mythology into this guide. So perfectly she has brought the mythology and present-day women together to empower them.

If you are a woman who is feeling low and need that push and energy to get the zing and power back in life, this book certainly does that. And as Usha Narayanan has very wisely said women facing violence and other severe mental traumas should contact the right help. And this book is not for the moment when you hit rock bottom but for the time when you can gain back control. 

A perfect gift to all the women in your life. It's high time we took our life into our hands.

The book is available here.
