  • More about Kali in Bengali Lives: Narratives of Religious Experience

In Kali in Bengali Lives, Suchitra Samanta explores Bengalis' personal narratives of Kali devotion in the Bhakti tradition, revealing how the devotees' interpretive framework provides continuity and emotional power through intuitive insight into a larger truth.

Format: Hardback
Length: 160 pages
Publication date: 29 July 2021
Publisher: Lexington Books

In her book "In Kali in Bengali Lives," Suchitra Samanta delves into the profound and personal narratives of Kali devotion within the Bhakti tradition of Bengal. These narratives, brimming with miraculous encounters, shed light on broader conceptions of divine power. While the revelatory experience has long held a place of validation in Indian epistemology, the devotees' own interpretive frameworks offer a sense of continuity within the realm of devotion and the miraculous experience as an intuitive insight (anubhuti) into a greater truth. Through these singular insights, the miraculous experience transcends mere emotional impact, becoming etched in the memory and prompting deep reflection. The narratives unveiled in "In Kali in Bengali Lives" speak to the transformative power of a religious figure, Kali, as she becomes intimately significant and profoundly alters the devotees' selves.
