No one who wants to approach and enjoy the mystery of the Divine Feminine in its paradoxical glory should be without this book. --Andrew Harvey, author of Hidden Journey, Journey in Ladakh, and coauthor of Dialogues with a Modern Mystic

In this delightful translation by Lex Hixon, we hear the pillow talk of the mystic poet Ramprasad to his Goddess Kali, Mother of the Universe, Mother of Reality-a tantric love affair with the Divine that will completely enchant the reader. --Catherine Ingram, author of In the Footsteps of Gandhi: Conversations with Spiritual/ Social Activists

Mother of the Universe is a fascinating example of the devotion inspired by Ma Kali, one of the very few manifestations of the ancient Primal Goddess still actively worshiped today. This book is a revelation for the uninitiated and a joy for those who already know the Goddess. --Barbara Walker, author of The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets, The Skeptical Feminist, and Amazon
