The Harvest Goddess: When India and Mexico Dreamed the Same Divine

-

In many Bengali homes, the autumn moon glows on freshly cleaned courtyards. Lamps flicker beside baskets of rice and clay pots, while an owl figurine keeps watch. On this night of Kojagori Purnima , people worship Goddess Lakshmi —the bringer of plenty. But if you look closely, this celebration is not just about gold and fortune. It is about grain, soil, and the quiet gratitude of those who live by the land. The small details tell the story: rice sheaves placed beside the altar, a boat filled with grains, vermillion and coconut shells arranged in a wicker basket. These are not symbols of commerce; they are emblems of harvest.

Who created the impressive Spanish Empire? How was it created? How was life during the Golden Age of Spain? All these boundless queries are answered in an interesting way by HENRY KAMEN in his book GOLDEN AGE SPAIN . Henry Kamen made a notable study and adverted that Spain alone neither created nor maintained the Grand Spanish Empire, which at its peak covered a third of the world, from the Netherlands to New Mexico. Spain didn’t even exist as a political entity until the eighteenth century rather just a mere association of states showcased itself as a grand empire. The Empire was not only a conglomeration of political states but also religious entities and this had influenced their literature over the years: “The coexistence of three major religions – Islam, Christianity and Judaism – in the peninsula for some seven centuries had a formative influence on the character of Spain and has coloured its literature and history.” Spain's empire-building started in 1492...
