Sonic Theology: Hinduism and Sacred Sound
ISBN: 9781570038433 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Hindu world is permeated by sound: drums, bells, gongs, cymbals, conches, flutes, and an array of vocalizations play a central role in worship. Guy L.

Comparing the centrality of sound in Hindu theology to its place in other...
