Reading Notes: Seven Secrets from Hindu Calendar Art

This week I am writing about the Seven Secrets from Hindu Calendar Art by Devdutt Pattanaik. I have enjoyed this series more than the last series I watched. It seems to explain a bit more of the general thoughts behind Hinduism and parts of Indian culture. It is also very helpful to have the notes that Laura has written for us.
We learn about what makes the difference between a Goddess and a goddess in this section. As well as the interesting concept of Hijras, which are men that feel they are really women, what we would call in America transgendered.
