The book is very much about the empowered feminine - empowered with soul feelings such as love, joy, compassion, freedom, peace, gratitude, forgiveness, wisdom, strength and others. It’s feminist in the sense of loving the feminine and also honoring the masculine in both women and men. It’s not feminist in the sense of loving the feminine in women and dishonoring the masculine in men. True strength comes from inside which is more powerful than outer strength. The book reveals the stories of Sita, Radha, Draupadi, and Yasodhara from Lakshmi ji’s own voice. Similarly stories of Gayatri, Yeshe, and other incarnations of Saraswati ji in her own voice. What is revealed is very uplifting and different from some of the patriarchal stories in the scriptures which were written mostly by their male authors.

Thanks for this important question, Satendra! All spiritual truths are said without "external" proofs. The only proofs that are available are from inside or from within. This is why spirituality is different from science. However, the inner proofs are available! All meditators know this! If a meditator follows certain techniques and is able to quiet one's mind or experiences moments of bliss, only the meditator knows that from within. There is no scientific instrument to measure the intensity of bliss a meditator is feeling. When I receive messages from Goddesses, there are internal ways for me to confirm that. There is a deep sense or feeling of knowing that is absent when the knowing is from only my "mind." I can "feel" the knowing throughout my body. Our minds can lie, but our bodies do not lie. Chapter 5 of the book covers this topic about proofs in the context of the great mathematician Ramanujan who received 3,900 equations and identities without any proofs. Proofs help us in the finite world of survival. Demanding external proofs can be an impediment in the infinite world of spirituality. I am making the claim just like any spiritual master has made a claim. It is my own knowing of which I have internal proofs. I cannot convey what I experience to you externally. You can read the book and make up your mind for yourself.
