We'll make the needed changes.

Worldmeets.us, you did a great job translating my article, but you've got to be more careful too — devil is in the details. I hope you will correct both the mistake and the title. And, yes, Krishna was a cowherd, not a shepherd.

” Ancient sacred texts of the Hindu tradition say that Vishnu has incarnated himself to the earth many times. He is said to come down to earth time after time in animal and human form to rid earth of evil and establish dharma or righteousness.”

“Many texts speak of Vishnu as having ten incarnations, also referred to as avatars. Nine of these are said to have already occurred. Followers of Vishnu expect him to return to earth a final time in this eon.”

In Indian religious art many of the nine Avatars are shown in the color Blue. One meaning of Blue with the Avatars is they descended from the sky which means they came from above, the spiritual realms, with no karma.

In Hinduism there are three major male dieties; Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva; Creator, Sustainer, and Destroyer. Not only is Vishnu and the Avatars blue but also Shiva is often often shown as blue in Indian art. There he drank poison so others would not die and it turned his throat blue. It is not uncommon for there to be different aspects within any single of the gods and goddesses, so the hues and colors will often change. Example Shiva will often change from light blue to dark blue, indicating either the peaceful or more violent destroyer of evil. Also the female Goddesses are often shown as blue, such as Ma Kali and various devi(s).

My point is in Hindu religion many of the deities/avatars are shown as blue in Indian art. When one hears the word “Avatar” in general it is safe to think Blue.

Yeah, like the “regrettable” invention of color photography. It will surely destroy the art of film making.
