SUMMARY:Presentation: Darshan - The Act of “Seeing” in Hindu
DESCRIPTION:<p>This talk offers a chance to see some of the fabulous depictions of Hindu deities from the <a href="https://asianart.org/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImIXxr-_BjAMVhzcIBR3D2Cg3EAAYASAAEgIQTfD_BwE">Asian Art Museum</a>’s collection. Because Hinduism holds that even representations of deities possess divinity, the act of darshan (viewing an image of a deity) can be profound and auspicious for the believer. From the ten Avatars of Vishnu and the various forms of Shiva to a host of complex female deities, explore the storied pantheon of Hindu gods and goddesses and the powerful possibilities of darshan.&nbsp;</p><p><br>Connect with the Asian Art Museum - <a href="https://asianart.org/">AAM - Website</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/asianartmuseum/?hl=en">AAM - Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AsianArtMuseum/">AAM - Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/AsianArtMuseum">AAM - YouTube</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The Asian Art Museum Docent Program/Community Speakers Program is generously supported by the Dhanam Foundation and Society for Asian Art.&nbsp;</p><p>Image credit: Asian Art Museum/The Hindu deity Durga worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva</p><p><img src="https://sfpl.org/admin/events/lib/external/responsive_filemanager/source/Fourth/aamlogo.png" width="185" height="92" alt="Asian Art Museum logo"></p>
