The
Hindu
Vision
:
Forms
of
the
Formless
To
the
Hindu,
the
entire
universe
is
a
living
being,
and
through
the
visual
arts
-
ritualistic,
compelling,
often
stunningly
beautiful
-
that
holistic
awareness
is
made
available
to
all.
Long
rejected
by
the
West
as
alien
and
bizarre,
Hindu
imagery
speaks
a
language
that
is
at
last
being
understood.
Its
extraordinary
symbolism
-
elephant-headed
and
multi-armed
deities,
fierce
demons
and
fabulous
creatures
-
is
a
sophisticated
iconography
conveying
universal
religious
truths.
Uniting
sensuousness
and
spirituality,
passion
and
detachment,
Hinduism
celebrates
the
fullness
of
life,
and
teaches
the
indivisibility
of
body
and
soul,
time
and
eternity.
