Devi, The Great Goddess

image

Revered from the soaring Himalayan mountains in the north to the southernmost tip of India, Devi is the force that animates all living things. Her power manifests itself in every aspect of the natural world, including trees, water, and rocks. Devi also vitalizes believers, strengthening their hearts during times of adversity.

This particular sandstone sculpture of Devi was crafted sometime around  975 to 1000 CE. She gazes at the viewer,  who is supposed to gaze back. Thus this Devi can bestow a “darshan” — a sacred gaze exchanged with the deity during worship.

Tfw when you’re going to “just watch one Star Trek episode” and then you emerge six months later from your home dressed in full Klingon regalia, having recently written your tenth Spirk fic, fresh from a discussion with people called @ Ferengifurry89 and @ PicardsFlute about the depiction of Data’s sexuality in that One Episode and you’re trying to remember what the stardate is.
