Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. One of the seeming miracles in the story of man is the spread of ideas, across the barriers of formidable mountains, vast oceans and national boundaries. The warm acceptance of concepts from distant lands goes to underline the deep similarity of human nature and aspirations everywhere. one of the greatest examples of the dissemination of philosophic and artistic ideas is the spread of Buddhism from the Indian subcontinent to the many countries of Asia. (We must remember that these ideas spread entirely without the use of the sword.) Buddhism has a great vision of the eternal harmony of the world. This faith, with its message of compassion, spread far and wide and shaped the culture of a continent. This is a culture of peace and gentleness which continues, even in the midst of the materialistic world of today. From earliest times of Buddhism, the influences of the faith reached Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and other parts of Central Asia. It was both the Theravada and Mahayana orders that traveled far and wide across this region. The concept of samsara, of maya and mithya, the illusory nature of the material world around us, was crystallized in the Upanishads by the 8th or 9th century BCE. The high purpose in life was to be able to see beyond the veils of illusion, to the eternal truth. Persons who were able to achieve this were known as Buddhas or Enlightened Ones and Tirthankaras or Victors over the Fear of Death. Vajrayana Buddhism was born out of an intellectual search, at the great universities of Eastern India and in Kashmir, in the First Millennium CE. It is believed to have the clarity and indestructible nature of a diamond, as well as the striking nature of a thunderbolt. Its purpose is to free us and to dispel the veils of ignorance, with the force of a clap of thunder. It is this form of Buddhism which traveled to Tibet, Mongolia, Buryatia and Kalmykia. and over the next two thousand years this vision of life and path pervaded the culture of present-day Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, Nepal, Bhutan which is studied in this fully illustrated book.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. An art historian and filmmaker traces the spiritual connections between India and Japan Breathtaking pictures by Benoy K. Behl make this volume an educative journey through the spiritual realm of the Japanese. Supported by facts,culled through painstaking research, Behl presents the pantheon of Hindu deities worshipped in the Land of the Rising Sun. This book is a sequel to a series of exhibitions Behl organised for The Japan Foundation. Divided into 10 chapters, the book, a Frontline publication, from The Hindu Group Publishing, is high on aesthetic and academic content. The photographs and text make Hindu Deities Worshipped in Japan a collector's item, a rich product from Behl, well-known photographer, art-historian and filmmaker. The forms of deities are different from what one is familiar with in India they are not slender, bejewelled gods and goddesses but robust figures, mostly in a seated position. Saraswati is dealt with in detail, with pictures of the goddess of learning in various forms, both painting and sculptures, belonging to different periods of time. The concepts of veena (there are several versions) and the lotus, associated with the goddess, recur. The Tower of Benzaiten (Saraswati), Osaka, could be the tallest shrine in the world, says the caption. Lakshmi, Indra and Kubera are among the other deities worshipped in Japan. It is interesting to find a charming Venugopala Krishna, enshrined in Todai-ji Temple, Nara. The author has not missed a painting of the deity on the wall of a restaurant. We learn that Varuna (Suiten) is worshipped to prevent droughts and typhoons in a land so prone to devastating floods. Shiva Ishana is found in both meditative and aggressive poses. He is complete with a trident, a garland of skulls, and a circle of flame. About Yama (Emma), Rev. Kourya Imai, chief priest of the Ennou-ji in Kamakura, says: "The deity that you see in front of us [in the main shrine] is Yama or Emma in Japanese. The Rig Veda speaks of Yama, who is the first ancestor of human beings. The sound of the word Yama became Emma as the name travelled and came to Japan.".…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Benoy K. Behl¿s remarkable photographs, painstakingly gathered and digitally restored over thirty years of hard labour, are probably the best and truest record of these fabulous treasures that will ever be created.' William Dalrymple A revised edition of a classic title, now with digitally restored photographs, showcasing the finest surviving examples of ancient Buddhist art. Since their chance re-discovery in 1819, the breathtaking paintings and sculptures of the Ajanta caves have inspired and delighted experts and amateurs alike. Ranging in date from the second century BCE to the sixth century CE, these ancient Buddhist artworks rank among the world¿s most important cultural treasures. Benoy K. Behl captured the beauty and luminosity of these works using long exposures and only natural light and now presents them here digitally restored to show the paintings closer to their original glory than ever before. The exquisite murals, depicting the tales of previous incarnations of Buddha, scenes of princely processions and fantastical birds and beasts, provide virtually the only evidence of painting styles that first developed in India and remain crucially important to the understanding of Buddhist art throughout Asia. On UNESCO¿s list of World Heritage Sites, the Ajanta caves survive as a potent symbol of the great beauty of Indiäs rich artistic past. This new edition provides for the first time a view of some of the masterpieces of Ajanta painstakingly digitally restored by Behl. Sensitively carried out, the restoration makes the paintings clearer without interfering with their original grace and nuance, leading to a deeper appreciation of their artistry. Accompanied by expert commentaries to fully immerse the reader in the cultural context of the murals, this book will help preserve the legacy of the glorious art of Ajanta for years to come.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Chitrasutra, the ancient Indian treatise on painting, began in the oral tradition before it was recorded on paper sometime in the fifth century C.E. The renowned art historian Benoy K Behl set out to study this treatise in the process of documenting Indian art, beginning in 1991 with the exquisite paintings of Ajanta. He soon realised that Indian art had taken over his life. I was deeply moved by the world which was presented in the paintings of Ajanta. The thousands of figures, painted on the walls of the caves, each radiated a warmth and concern for others. It was a love for all beings which pervaded this body of art, he says. His travels took him across the length and breadth of the country and Asia ranging from the eighth century Sun temple at Martand in Kashmir, which in its time may have been one of the grandest structural temples standing in India; the trans-Himalayan Buddhist monasteries; the breathtaking architecture of the Ramanathaswami Temple in Rameswaram; the rock-cut Jaina reliefs at Kazhugumalai; the glory of the Konark Temple in the east; the Jaina temples in Rajasthan; to the Sun Temple at Modhera in Gujarat, one of the most profusely carved in the subcontinent. Says Benoy Behl: Much of the travel was made possible by two assignments given to me by the Doordarshan National television channel. The first, in 2000, was to make a series of 26 documentaries on the history of painting in India, and the second, in 2006, was to make another 26 documentaries tracing the history of Indian sculpture. Both assignments took me on extensive journeys to all corners of India and to museums which had collections of Indian art in Europe and in the U.S. In this journey of discovery, he found, among other things, the artistic traditions of different parts of the subcontinent to be deeply connected . These connections find unique expression in The Art of India: Sculpture and Mural Painting in the Ancient and Medieval Periods , a special publication in two volumes of more than 500 pages from The Hindu Group. The book is based on two series of articles published over the years in Frontline magazine and on courses in art history that Benoy Behl was invited to give at Delhi University and at the College of Art, Delhi. Frontline s association with Benoy Behl began in 1991. On art, culture, and civilisation, he has contributed the following articles richly supplemented with photographs: Rediscovering Indian Paintings, Indian Art (25 parts), Buddhist Art (five parts), Buddhist Art in South-East Asia, Buddhist Art (six parts), Yoga, Temple Architectures, Hindu Deities in Japan, and Ramayana in South and South-East Asia (two parts). Behl, says Ram, combines the most extensive legwork I know from anyone in the subcontinent with rigorous scholarship and a gift for deeply moving popular exposition of the spirit of Indian art and the philosophy which it enshrines. In more than 450 photographs that bring out the minutiae of Indian art as few have done, the two volumes are both a visual treat and a rare and compelling journey into the history of India through art. Among the photographs are artefacts and seals of the Indus Valley, whose art has not yielded a single depiction of warfare and is characterised by its smallness of scale; the female chauri, or whisk, bearer of the Mauryan period (322 BCE-185 BCE) at Didarganj in present-day Patna; a depiction of Shalabanjika, who represents fertility and abundance, in the East Gateway of Stupa I at Sanchi (first century C.E.); the rock-cut caves of early western India and the majestic later caves of western India in Ajanta and Ellora; the emergence of deities; the temples of the Chalukyas, the Pallavas, the Cholas, the Hoysalas; and so on.…
