Always inspired by those who can see both the Transcendence & Immanence in pristine Nature. Thank you for telling folks about Roerich.

I'm fascinated by the Himalayas, the mountains, lakes, highlands, wildlife, people, art, monasteries with beautiful paintings and sculptures. Interesting to know that Roerich lived in India and explored places like Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Karakoram, Hindu Kush, Tibet and Mongolia

I’ve seen some of these painting before, thank you for giving some context around them. Normally minimalistic styles can feel lazy and too utilitarian, but these strike a good balance, elevating what’s important but doesn’t completely remove the surrounding. Also, the colors are nice.

Thank you for introducing Nichola’s art to me, truly breathtaking. I’m glad I’ve been subscribed to your channel, and your videos on Traditionalism are awesome.

Wonderful. I wonder how the Roerich's Angi Yoga fits into Evola's thought.

I have not been able to find the high definition full version of his painting at 2:04 so you know the name of it?
