Jayashree Aradhyam: Usha Narayanan, in her inimitable style, tells every woman to free herself from the cage sometimes they find themselves in. In the ever-changing world where most people find it easier to blame others for everything that goes wrong, this book shows women how to take charge of their own lives. The stories of Hindu Goddesses are presented in a simple manner such that a reader can easily relate to those situations and learn how to deal with them. I particularly like the story of Indra’s wife and how she smartly handles a very sticky situation. As the author suggests, I agree it makes great gift for a sister or a daughter. In my opinion, this book should find a place in every high school library, so that, before our young daughters step out of their protective childhoods into the real world, they are equipped to deal with whatever life throws at them! Thank you, for yet another good book, Usha Narayanan!

“Feeling happy after reading this nicely written book, Awaken the Durga Within, by Usha Narayanan,” says Nithya K, giving it five stars!

“I came across the book last December and I have read it three times now. It’s simply amazing! There’s so much information in it and every time I read it, I have a different perspective and it helps me understand something about myself. It is completely relatable to the scenario that Indian women undergo everyday. In the store, the book’s title is what caught my eye! I have chosen and have changed a few things about myself which has turned out to be great! I’m working on Creating a new me!I understand that it’s a constant work in progress. I’m glad I have your book as a guide for this. I’m grateful to have come across your book. Thank you very much!” Shivani

Paarijatuvach on Instagram says: “To all working women irrespective of their ages, there may be moments where you find yourself stuck in the cobwebs of life! Read this sleek beauty to exhort dampened soul of yours by @writerusha. Also it will invoke your dormant shakti and slay your dragons within. Remember to choose freedom couched in responsibility and liberation blended with wisdom. Life will be (near) sorted! Making sense at the most messed up late 20’s of my life at least. Super realistic. Super healing.”
