Religions of the world have inspired divine art forms, embracing the deepest insights and highest aspirations of mankind. This book charts the origin and evolution of these divine art forms and aims to understand the deeper, spiritual psychology of human beings inspired by divinity. Beginning with the worship of nature, divine art inspired forms as diverse as writing, music, dance, drama, painting, sculpture and architecture. Some early manifestations of divine are t included the illustration of religious lore, epics and ballads on papyrus, palm fronds and parchment. Divine art also inspired dance forms such as the "tsam" and the "noh" . Architecture too reached its highest forms of magnificence as the man tried to invoke and appease the gods.
In this age of consumerism and materialism, divine art not only instills in us feeling of love and compassion but also helps us transcend our suffering. This book comes as a source of hope and elucidation that divinity holds us together.
