Celestial Nymph (Apsara) with Parrot Passing Message Brass Statue For modern women, a diamond might be their best friend, but in ancient times when for the lovelorn Naayika or heroine, getting the message of the beloved after a long wait was the greatest respite. And the bringers of these messages were the parrots- intelligent birds fluent in the language of the humans and were the best friends of the damsels. It is his companionship of the bird and the beauty that has been celebrated in Indian sculptural tradition, where women with parrots have become a favorite decorative and artistic motif. The woman with a parrot in this antique-looking brass statue has the appearance of the red sandstones which were used in the earliest sculptures of India- in the famous Mathura school of art. The lady elegantly stands, with the beautiful bird sitting in her hand, the brass statue filled with the feeling of companionship between both of them. The heavenly attractive lady has the most elaborate hairdo and is wearing the costume prevalent during the ancient Indian period.

Playing with Krishna - God as Child in Art and Mythology A beautiful young woman, in the full bloom of her femininity, once entered the residential premises of a provincial chief of cowherds. Dressed attractively, she appeared very comely, what with her raised hips, nicely swollen breasts, earrings, and the heavily scented flowers in her hair. The thin waist added in no small measure to her allure. Her smiling face captivated the hearts of everyone present and she found it easy to glide in to the innermost chambers where the chief's wife was resting along with her newborn infant son.

The Complex Moral Outlook of Krsna (Krishna) of Mahabharata This article attempts to make sense of krishna’s actions by analyzing them in terms of categories from Western moral philosophy. The Mahabharata revolves around the legendary Bharata war, a war between two sides of a royal family. These two sides are commonly called the Pandavas and the Kauravas.

The underlying scientific basis of Indian traditions and practices The division of distinction that separates art and culture from science is artificial. In ancient times, all the innovative thoughts and postulates of great sages fell under the overall umbrella of philosophy. There was no division between scientific and religious thinking in those days, all innovators being regarded as philosophers or rishis. They did not necessarily speak of religion alone. They had a deep insight or Antar Drishti. Their invaluable contributions to Astronomy are an inseparable part of the holy Rig Veda. Similarly, the Samhitas and the Atharva Veda, respectively, are the repositories of important treatises on medicine and mathematics. Culture is thus inseparable from science, and vice versa. 'Nahijananenasadrsam', or there is nothing that bears comparison to knowledge, epitomizes the homage of Indian culture to learning and inspired our ancients' quest for knowledge. Science was an integral part and an important preoccupation in ancient Indian culture. The past inspires the future in India, and the ancient Sanskrit texts reflect shades of twentieth-century thinking. Scientific ideas were developed in India over 5,000 years ago and have stood the test of time.

Celestial Nymph with Parrot Passing Message In Brass A monotone composition the color of gracious gold. It comes from the pure brass make of the sculpture, which depicts a handsome apsara overflowing with youth and beauty. Clad in an ornately embroidered dhoti and a skimpy bustier that, by clinging to her fecund curves, reveals rather than conceals her shape, she is engaged in a particularly important activity. In the palm of her left hand, she cradles a parrot. It is a messenger from a source of great value to her. It could be deduced from the solemn and steady gaze upon the brow of the apsara as she cranes her neck to listen to its every word. The stance of the gorgeously plumaged creature equals the gravity of the beauteous recipient.
