KAUAI, HAWAII, March 9, 2007: Himalayan Academy Publications, publisher of Hinduism Today and HPI, has collected over its 46 years an enormous archive of digital imagery. For decades the Hinduism Today staff photographed, scanned, collected, invented, designed, bartered and exchanged Hindu art. Working with gifted artists from India, Bali, Malaysia and anywhere talent could be found, a treasure-trove of traditional spiritual paintings and imagery was assembled. Himalayan Academy now releases two royalty-free treasure chests of Hindu graphics. These resources will empower parents, teachers, web designers and communicators in passing on the great Sanatana Dharma to the next generation.
The Hindu Art DVD has an astonishing 4,820 images depicting Hinduism in all its glory and nuances. Over 1,000 images are high resolution, suitable for print production. This wealth of imagery includes art and illustrations of Gods, scripture, temples, beliefs, traditions, karma, dharma, saints, yoga and art created for children. Artists bring the Vedas, the Puranas and the Holy Kural to life with hundreds of beautiful paintings, Indian-style borders, motifs and clip art; the ten Avatars of Vishnu; the all-encompassing Pradosha Siva; Shanmugan mounting lightning-fast Mayil; the yamas and niyamas; ashtanga yoga for children and much more can be found in it.
