(Uma, beloved of Shiva: source)
Titles: Cradle Tales of Hinduism
+ Myths of the Hindus and Buddhists
Author: Sister Nivedita
Year: 1907 & 1914
Comments: This unit contains the stories about Shiva as told in two of Sister Nivedita's books, with one book for Reading A and the other book for Reading B. By reading both sections this week, you will learn a lot about Shiva, the Great God.
Length: one week. I've divided the reading into two parts: Part A - Part B. This can also work for just a half-week of reading!
Free Online: See all the links at Freebookapalooza: Cradles Tales of Hinduism and Myths of the Hindus and Buddhists. The links below are to the Internet Archive versions of both books.
