On the Cusp of an Era: Art in the Pre-Kuṣāṇa World
On the Cusp of an Era: Art in the pre-Kuṣāṇa world
South Asian religious art became codified during the Kusana Period (ca. beginning of the 2nd to the mid 3rd century). Yet, to date, neither the chronology nor nature of Kusana Art, marked by great diversity, is well understood. The Kusana Empire was huge, stretching from Uzbekistan through northern India, and its multicultural artistic expressions became the fountainhead for much of South Asian Art. The premise of this book is that Kusana Art ach…
Unhinging Śiva from the Indus civilization
When books on Hinduism begin with a discussion of the Indus Valley civilization, one of the main postulates to illustrate the influence of the Indus upon Hinduism is that Śiva originates from this prehistoric civilization.

The Myth of the Panis in the Rig Veda
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER is to examine a myth in the Rig Veda concerning a set of demons called Panis. The myth of the Panis is here seen as an allegorical statement concerning the reestablishment of world order. Aspects of this myth have been previously mentioned in conjunction with other problems in the Rig Veda, but, the myth itself has not been the subject of a critical study. Thus, its story has not been fully explored, nor its symbolism pr…
