Greco-Buddhist art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Up to that point, Indian Buddhist art had essentially been aniconic, avoiding representation of the Buddha, except for his symbols, such as the wheel or the Bodhi tree, although some archaic Mathuran sculptural representation of Yaksas (earth divinities) have been dated to the first century BCE. The influence of Greek art can be felt beyond Mathura, as far as Amaravati on the East coast of India, as shown by the usage of Greek scrolls in combination with Indian deities. Buddhism flourished under his reign and that of his successors, precisely as it was being oppressed by the Indian dynasty of the en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Greco-Buddhist_art

Guardian Unlimited Archive Search Sometimes, in a nod to flamenco's affiliations with African and Indian dance, Greco is accompanied by a harem-style chorus whose bare midriffs and crudely flexed limbs have all the oriental credentials of a Las Vegas cabaret show. Along with her choreographer Dagmara Brown, Greco has concocted a style of new-age flamenco in which she floats around the stage, kicking up her legs, ballet style, and posing like some latterday Isadora Duncan. The top female billing goes to Lola Greco, however, for reasons that I can't connect to her dancing. www.guardian.co.uk /Archive/Article/0,4273,4144874,00.html

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eschatology In the Vedic, the earliest historical form of the Indian religion, eschatological belief is simpler and purer than in the Brahministic and Buddhistic forms that succeeded it. Confucianism can hardly be said to have an eschatology, except the very indefinite belief involved in the worship of ancestors, whose happiness was held to depend on the conduct of their living descendants. And as there were degrees in the happiness of the blessed, so also in the punishment of the lost (Book of the Dead, tr. www.newadvent.org /cathen/05528b.htm

griffingallery Directory In the October, 2001 Christy's sale of Indian and Asian art in New York, a Gandharan figure of a bodhisattva estimated at between $60,000 and $80,000 was sold for a record $358,000. I attended the Christy's New York sale of Asian and Indian art in mid March; the bidding was exceptionally lively and all Gandharan art sold for well in excess of the pre-auction estimates. The region was a vibrant center for the commercial and cultural exchange between east and west; this wealthy center of international trade was dominated by a sequence of powers starting with the Greeks, and culminating with the Indian and Central Asian empires. www.griffingallery.net /gandharanhtm.html

Mysticism Chapter 5 Islam (No. B7_5) Distinct Indian aspects to Islam can be found in the Abbasid period and the rise of Mysticism dates from that period, although it received further impetus in India and the East. In fact, it is more likely that a specific uniqueness of Indian Islam was the capacity of the lower classes to adopt Hindu custom and sacrifice to Hindu deities in addition to holding to Islam, thus being just as pantheistic. It was inevitable that they were connected with the "Brethren of Sincerity" (Ikhwen-as-Safa), and the mysticism and occultism associated with it were derived from Persian, Indian and Shamanist influences and naturally blended with Sufism, being derived from the same original sources. www.ccg.org /english/s/b7_5.html

Indian Astronomy : From Jantar-Mantar to Kavalur The Indian astronomer Chintamani Raghunathachari, who was head-assistant at the Madras observatory, discovered a new variable star R. Reticuli in the southern sky in 1867. Another Indian astronomer who made use of Arabic/Persian knowledge was Kamalakara (b.1658 A.D.), who wrote a big treatise on astronomy called Siddhanta-Tatva-Viveka. The earliest evidence of Arabic/Persian influence on Indian astronomy is of the second half of the fourteenth century. www.vigyanprasar.com /dream/dec99/article1.htm

The History Cooperative Conference Proceedings Seascapes, Littoral Cultures, and Trans-Oceanic Exchanges The Ottoman 'Discovery' of the Indian Ocean in the Sixteenth Century: The Age of Exploration from an Islamic Perspective Although concise (106 lines of text), it describes, in varying detail, all of the major areas of the Indian Ocean littoral, from the Swahili Coast and Yemen, to Hormuz, Diu, and Goa, to Ceylon and Malacca, although it is doubtful that Selman could have visited all of these places personally. Given this cultural milieu, in which interest in the outside world was expanding, and travel to and from the Indian Ocean was becoming commonplace, one would naturally expect to find a large number of original accounts of Ottoman travel in the Indian Ocean, in addition to the various other kinds of works already discussed. In its essence, the report sent by Selman Reis is a "policy paper," informing the Ottoman administration of conditions in the Indian Ocean and advising the central authorities on the possibilities for future involvement in the area. www.historycooperative.org /proceedings/seascapes/casale.html

Urshel Taylor - The Arizona Daily Star One such figure, carved from wood that he imported from Mexico, is of a tall slender, El Greco-like Indian woman with a basket that holds a single piece of turquoise. "A lot of people see it and ask why I put an Indian in it," Taylor said. Taylor painted Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian who helped raise the flag, in Indian garb. www.artnatam.com /utaylor/award.html

Opening ceremony of Great Alexander Exhibition in Tokyo Furthermore, today's exhibition is giving ample evidence of the influence of the Greco – Indian or Greco – Bactrian cultural heritage, which lasted for a number of centuries and was finally transmitted as far as to Japan. It was one century ago on the other hand, that coincidentally a Greek – Irish – Japanese writer, Lafcadio Hearn, in his attempt to interpret Japanese culture and religion, intuitively traced some of the similarities of Greco – Indian or Aryan – Indian cults with those of Japan. A glimpse of the transmission of the Greco – Bactrian civilization toward the Asian Continent and Japan was also given through the exhibitions held at this same Museum ("The Art of Gandhara, Pakistan” and The Art of Mathura, India") late last year. www.greece-japan.com /alexander_opening.htm

The Lost and Found Cultural Foundations of the Eastern Civilization He found Christians on the island of Sri Lanka, and on the Indian west coast, 'in Male, where the pepper grows [that is, Malabar], and in the place called Kalliana [Kalyan, near Bombay]', and he states that Kalliana was the seat of a bishop who had been to Persia. But, according to my thesis, Jesus is simply the Indian version of the Buddha and of Krishna (hence demanding a correction of the received chronology), just as Socrates is the Greek version of Jesus Christ. We saw it in the case of Mohammed, for example, and it may be that the Indian story of Issa was filtered into India through Islam. www.specialtyinterests.net /lost_and_found_eastern_cultural_foundations.html

Guardian Unlimited Film Interviews She shoots, she scores Among her own special moments on this Indian jaunt, she says, is learning of a girl from the slums who decided to get a sports scholarship after watching Beckham. The last point may not play too well on the sub-continent, where pride and energy are invested in the concept of 'Indianness', but among Britain's Indo-Brits the spectrum of opinion and identity is broad and fluid. Watching her talking easily in Punjabi with drivers, market traders and fans, it clearly hasn't taken long for Nagra to adjust to Indian life, though it's a shock when she purchases one of the country's numerous filmi glossies and finds a page spread on her staring back from its pages. film.guardian.co.uk /interview/interviewpages/0,6737,1027850,00.html

pakistan.html The form of the nose and mouth are also different from the Indian tradition, showing more of a western influence. This is most obvious in the depiction of the woman who wears traditional attire (although it does make a feature of drapery) and holds a pose reminiscent of dance, a large part of Indian women's cultural role. Garuda, the Indic mythological being is here shown grasping a woman by the waist and preparing to fly off with her. rubens.anu.edu.au /student.projects/offerings/pakistan.html

Tour of India When we compare the two great Indian Empires of the Mauryans and the Moghuls, widely separated in time, if not in space, we see that there is an equally wide gulf in their general conceptions. The central question in Indian history is why did the Muslims succeed so easily in subjugating an Aryan civilization and converting many of its people to Islam (for most Indian Muslims are not Arabs, Turks or Mongols). There could not be a true synthesis for the representation of the human figure which had been central to Indian art since the advent of the Greek influence in Gandharan times is unacceptable for the Muslims who abjured any representation of the human form. uqconnect.net /slsoc/indiatour.htm

Iranica.com - EUCRATIDES Upon his return from one of his Indian campaigns, Eucratides was ignominiously assassinated by his own son (Heliocles I?). Items of Indian origin discovered in the treasury of this palace bear witness to his Indian campaigns.

Stereotyping Hinduism in American Education by Rajiv Malhotra on Sulekha Very few Indians have gone for academic careers in Religion or Philosophy, and those in such careers must be very cautious not to step out of line in complaining about the above matters. Margaret Case, former editor of Princeton University Press, is quoted in the August-September-October 1996 issue of Hinduism Today as follows: “ Americans find India much more inscrutable and don't have as warm an empathy for Indian things as they do for Chinese and Japanese culture. Most of the educational material on Indic religions is written very authoritatively by Americans who have advanced degrees in Sanskrit and/or Religious Studies, who have spent years researching in India, and would easily impress anyone with their scriptural knowledge about India. www.sulekha.com /expressions/articledesc.asp?cid=111452

Standing Bodhisattva The naked torso is covered with jewels; the finery combines Indian, Scythian, Greco-Roman and Iranian influences. It illustrates the range of influences that characterized Indian art under the Kushan dynasty whose kingdom extended from Northern India to Afghanistan. The bluish-grey schist sculpture is executed in very high relief rather than in the round, and comes from the Mekhasanda monastery on Mount Mahaban overlooking the Shabaz-Garhi site. www.museeguimet.fr /gb/pages/page_id17988_u1l2.htm

Excavations at Arikamedu, Arikamedu Pondicherry, Travelling Tamilnadu, Tamil Nadu Archaeological Tour, Tamilnadu Tourism Arikamedu is of special importance in South Indian archaeology and it is best known for its stone bead production. Excavations in the Arikamedu area have brought to light the remains of a trading port, which had connections with the Greco-Roman world more than a century before the down of the Christian Era. Arikamedu, the ancient Roman trade centre is 4-km south of Pondicherry on the Right Bank of Ariyankuppam River. www.indiantravelportal.com /tamil-nadu/excavations/arikamedu.html

The Influence of Ancient Sciences Including Those of Sindh on Al Razi, The Great Persian Scientist The clear-cut distinction between Greek and Indian drugs is known by their classification. Now it was Greek knowledge which found its way to Baghdad and subsequently the Arabs combined the Greek science with the Indian science to produce new treatises. When we think of the Persian and the Indian writers who also contributed to science at Baghdad and wrote or translated into Arabic, we have to find another name for this science. www.panhwar.com /Article63.htm

Pantaleon - Art History Online Reference and Guide He was put in charge of the area of the Paropamisadae between Bactria and the Indian territories.

SURGERY   TIMES Learned men of Indian and Greek medicine were invited by Persian Kings, and were retained in their courts with due recognition of their knowledge and contribution to medicine. He is rightly known as the "Hippocrates of Ancient Indian Medicine" as well as the "Father of Indian Medicine". Referring to ancient Indian medicine, Castiglioni writes "....we must admit that Indian medicine, and especially its surgery, had a development in ancient times that was most probably quite independent of Greek medicine ". www.surgerytimes.com /history/ancient.html

Athens News The last, Ottoman citizens, primarily from the Thracian cities of Adrianople and Philippoupolis, sold the Indians hides and rough cloth which they used as saddles and saddle blankets, often lavishly decorated, for their horses, camels and elephants. Within a decade or two, Calcutta especially was humming with Armenians, Arabs, Jews and Greeks - those most mercantile of races that seem to have a special chromosome for business. www.athensnews.gr /athweb/nathens.prnt_article?e=C&f=&t=04&m=A36&aa=1
