Felt Honored to be among the Audience for the launch function #MountainGoddesses . @KhajuriaManu reminded me of 
The Manusmriti also known as Manav Dharam Shastra, attributed to Manu, the legendary first man and lawgiver. However, some say that the text was actually written by Bhrigu, a student of Manu. It is the earliest metrical work on Brahminical Dharma in Hinduism. According to Hindu mythology, the Manusmriti is the word of Brahma, and it is classified as the most authoritative statement on Dharma.The scripture consists of 2690 verses, divided into 12 chapters.  A book like Mountain Goddesses was long due. It is a window through which a reader can see and appreciate the historical #Dogra female protagonists. The book showcases the culture of #Jammu that recognizes the divinity in all women and maintains sufficient tolerance for both the genders to coexist and function harmoniously for the larger good of the society. The book is as much a record of the shrines as a commentary on the pitfalls of western feminism and its potential antidote. It is certainly a book that informs as well as inspires.
