Reading Notes: Seven Secrets of the Goddess, Part B


     Bibliography. Seven Secrets of the Goddess by Devdutt Pattanaik. Web Source

     Notes: 

     * Izanami speaks first and demons are born. Izanagi speaks first and normal human babies are born. This serves a justification for men speaking first in Japanese society. 

     * In ancient cultures, men were often associated with culture and domesticating nature while women were associated with nature. They were seen as needing domestication. 

     * Pandora opens a box handed to her by Zeus, even when Zeus explicitly tells her not to. This serves as justification in ancient cultures for why women shouldn't be trusted. This caused men to become wary of women.

Bhima in the WWE Bhima Wrestling      "Standing 8 feet 2 inches tall! Weighing in at 540 pounds of straight musssscle!! Bhiiiiimaaaa!!"  cried the Monday Night Raw announcer. Out came the hulking figure of Bhima. He paused in a  power stance at the top of the walkway. Standing there, he flexed his mountainous muscles as he  beheld the crowd of 20,000+ screaming fanatics. He twirled his handlebar mustache before  continuing on course towards the ring.       Once he reached it, he leaped up onto the apron and proceeded to step over the top rope with his  people-sized legs. He swung his massive arms up above his head and roared at the audience. In some  spots, loud cheers erupted. In others, there was nothing but awe and silence.
