Hinduism is one of the world"s oldest and most widely practiced religions. As the great Hindu sage Sri Ramakrishna has said, There can be as many spiritual paths as there are spiritual aspirants, and as many gods as there are devotees. One of the hallmarks of Hindu spirituality is the worship of this infinite diversity of the One Unknowable God in a multiplicity of forms. The depth and majesty of India"s magical pantheon of deities is illuminated in the Hindu Gods & Goddesses 2011 Wall Calendar, featuring the art of B.G. Sharma and Indra Sharma. B.G. Sharma, a painter of miniatures, is famous throughout India for his originality in composition, design and ornamentation. Indra Sharma comes from a long line of traditional painters dedicated to exerting a genuine spiritual influence on society through artistic means. Together they tell of ancient stories and transport us to the miraculously divine world of the Hindu universe. Images are from Form of Beauty: The Krishna Art of B.G. Sharma and In a World of Gods and Goddesses: The Mystic Art of Indra Sharma, both available from Mandala Publishing. The interior pages of this calendar are printed on 100% recycled, 50% post-consumer paper, processed chlorine free and printed with soy based inks.
