Hinduistische und buddhistische Ikonographie

Exzellente (und allgemeinverständliche) Artikel zu verschiedensten Aspekten und Konzepten der hinduistischen und buddhistischen Philosophie, Religion und Ikonographie in Kunst und Architektur werden lobenswerter Weise jeden Monat von Exotic India als Newsletter versendet.

Die Artikel dienen zwar in erste Linie der Präsentation der Produktpalette des Händlers, der über die (sehr schöne Illustration) Verkaufsangebote unterbreitet, und ich vermag auch ihre wissenschaftliche Korrektheit nicht zu beurteilen (über entsprechende Bewertungen würde ich mich freuen), sie machen aber Spaß beim Lesen und haben mir viele Einsichten auf diesem Gebiet vermittelt.

An dieser Stelle deshalb meinen herzlichen Dank für diese - wie ich meine - beispielhafte Ehe zwischen Wirtschaft und Kulturvermittlung an die Herausgeber von Exotic India.

(Sincere thanks to the editors of Exotic India for starting this great articles and this exemplary marriage between business and culture.)
