Thangka Paintings Online
A Tibetan Thangka painting is a painted or embroidered banner which was hung in a monastery or a family altar and carried by lamas in ceremonial processions. On the basis of techniques involved and materials used thangkas can be grouped into several categories. Generally they are divided into two broad categories: those which are painted (called bris-than in Tibetan) and those which are made of silk either by weaving or with embroidery called (gos-than). Be it a Mandala painting or a thangka depicting Tibetan deities such as Goddess Tara, Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), Manjushri, Padmasambhava, a buddhist thangka will always remain an important facet of Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan Art.

Shri Hanuman - Biography of a Masterful Servant

"In theology or tradition of devotion, no god of any pantheon in India is venerated so much for redeeming in crisis as Hanuman....Whatever Rama's attributes as the supreme God or Vishnu's incarnation, when broken hearted he wandered in search of Sita, Hanuman came to his aid....Accounts of Hanuman's birth and parentage in the Ramayana, Skanda Purana, Bhavishyottara Purana, Brahmananda Purana and some other texts are almost identical....Jain texts have quite a different legend of Hanuman's birth....Once Shiva, disguised as a monkey trainer, visited Ayodhya with Hanuman as an ordinary monkey dancing for its master....A monkey-like face and tail apart, the images of Hanuman, wearing a helmet-type crown and loincloth, pursue norms of human anatomy....Hanuman He breeds contemplative seriousness."

"Gods kill and drop down (in hell) the king who does not protect the Brahmin, who does not practice austerities and a rich man who is not charitable."

- Shukarneeti, 1.120
