So very kind of you to pass on these works. Knowledge is all too often coveted by a few unwilling to share what they have. Your generosity however excels.
I have long appreciated AC and his perennial philosophy.I only hope that in addition to your efforts perhaps his writings are protected in the library of Congress. Thanks for your efforts.
AK Coomaraswamy's works will never be popular, just due to the metaphysical depth of his writings; they are too esoteric for most. In the spirit of Tradition, it is more about the quality of people who read it, not the quantity. Having said that, thank you for providing these. I hope that those who find them will be helped along in thier artistic and spiritual development. God bless.
Thank you for this, Coomaraswamy is criminally underappreciated. Although it should be pointed out he was Sri Lankan not Indian. Nonetheless, valuable video.
Still don't understand why most people think that the theoretical aspect of photography is bullshit. Photography is obviously another form of art. God for bid people should expand their knowledge further than just what they know about their cameras. Finally, someone who will actually tell you to expand your mind. You sir, are a great teacher.
dont open it, ONLY right click on link then "save link as" works for everyone else!! Find a better net connection. ill put it on a torrent site too in a month when i get back !!!
i'm having the same issue i can open it in my browser (opens very slow) but i cannot download it. with save link it downloads a broken file. Don't worry man, we'll wait. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. have fun on your vacations
Thanks for discussing AC …had the Prevelidge of reading a few of his works a couple of decades back as recommended reading, while I was doing a Post Graduate Diploma in Culture and Philosophy. I could not access the link to the works you have shared here. Could you pls share an updated link. Thanks you so much!
OK I found it here on YT: "Angry Photographer: Best texts ever on Art Theory. FREE downloads Dr. A.K.C. I own the rights" I have read 'The Transformation of Nature In Art' - or well I tried many years ago and it was a bit rough going for me. Maybe today I could do better. Thank you for this. Oh and PS, really appreciated your work on original Buddha before the isms. What I could find of it anyway. Wish there was more. You have tapped my own mind on this - after 2 decades looking onto what serves as "Buddhism" - but I have no way of getting to this as do you. Again, thanks.
With a DSL connection, the web server kept timing out and the software indicating the file download was completed. I downloaded the file to my smartphone using DSL and Wi-Fi. Any Wi Fi connection with a new smartphone should work. Those having Internet timeout problems might want to do it that way.
kind regards sir i wont be doing anymore vids until i get back from a photo shoot and then a vacation in key west. Im on the road right now in a hotel. kind regards
Thanks a lot buddy, I truly appreciate your Master Class. I am self taught photographer and this would let me learn about art. What book do you recommend for improving my composition? cheers from Brazil
I tried downloading this stuff several times now using 'save link as', but it just doesn't fucking open in adobe acrobat. I keep getting this bs error that the file is damaged and can't be repaired...
i just retested it, and it works fine. do NOT open it at all until its downloaded , do NOT open it online at all, then use latest version of Acrobat Reader
may be short articles but this some next level intelligence highly esoteric , i was reading windows on the soul and im still left confused, the true Self is "not the person seen in the eye, but the person who sees with the eye" intriguing but not sure what this means or how what is has to do with photography
Are you planning to release his complete works. its sad as an Indian to not get to read what this genius thought about Indian metaphysics, spirituality,history and our freedom movement. please do share the link where you have uploaded his complete works. Love from India.
it is important to define beauty. Art that is created to shock or horrify, or to glorify or elicit sin (violence, lust, greed) cannot be called “beautiful.” It is still “art” but not art that glorifies God. Art that glorifies God must have the same two properties as the designs created in Exodus 31. First, it must be “artistic”; that is, it must be creative, well executed (a good representation of the object) and well crafted (well made). It must have worth as an object of value. Second, it should be something of which the artist can say, “God put it in my heart to make this.” God will not put in an artist’s heart to make things that will elicit sinful responses in others (Mark 9:42). He will not lead a person to create that which contradicts His nature. Artisans who create idols may be skillful (Isaiah 40:19), but they’re using their skill to pervert God’s glory, not honor it. This doesn’t mean that all art has to be like the Sistine Chapel, however, or that it can only depict biblical subjects like Jesus on the cross or the disciples in a boat. God dwells in “the perfection of beauty” (Psalm 50:2), and His holiness is beautiful (1 Chronicles 16:29 and Psalm 29:2). In creating God-glorifying art, the artist’s goal should be to lift the soul of man towards heaven and to illumine in new ways the multi-faceted beauty of God’s holiness, power and grace. There are literally millions of ways artists can depict God's glory. Their creativity and the skill that God has placed in their hearts and hands will guide them to create art that will help us transcend the ugliness and pollution of this world. Artists, musicians, authors, and all who have this common mission are a special and valuable part of God’s kingdom.
Thanks, i'll check it out. FYI, I'm uploading my video regarding how i've adapted my cameras to be able to use my left hand, thought you might be interested in it.
kind regards sir!! i wont be doing anymore vids until i get back from a photo shoot and then a vacation in key west. Im on the road right now in a hotel. warm thanks !
I tried opening the downloads three time and keep getting a file is damaged error message. Thanks for sharing. I would love to read if I can get them opened.
thats what you did wrong, do NOT OPEN IT ONLINE, rlght click on link, then "SAVE LINK AS"........... !!! also you need the newest version (FREE) of Acrobat Reader!! everyone else can download it ok !!! try it MY WAY !!
Mahn... how could your videos haven`t zillion views?!? You are one of the recently rare geniuses! There is a lot to learn from you not just at photography but many other fields. I guess the reason is the proof that the world is surely goes towards the way of bullshitness and doucherry. Maybe is your unconventional style of expressing, but f*ck yeah... you are really "doing your way"! :) Your meta is not just to save us ordinary peoples $$ for choosing gear... from light-speed miles could be saw that you are unselfish preaching! Greetings from Macedonia!!! Keep doing your good work and BE AWESOME!!!
Damn, Id be willing to bet I recycled at least one of his books. I work at a recycling center and had someone bring in a box of pre-turn of the century Greek philosophy books and I set them aside to try and find a home for them but on a day off I had the workers grabbed the box and recycled the books. So somewhere a person is wiping there ass with recycled Greek philosophy toilet paper.
So very kind of you to pass on these works.
Knowledge is all too often coveted by a few unwilling to share what they have.
Your generosity however excels.
kind regards , im glad his son gave me rights to the works. His son and myself were friends.
Bad link :-( had my heart set on reading this just from your excitement
Iink is dead. Please upload them again!!!

popular = profane

Hi...Is the link available elsewhere?
Thanks for discussing AC …had the Prevelidge of reading a few of his works a couple of decades back as recommended reading, while I was doing a Post Graduate Diploma in Culture and Philosophy.
I could not access the link to the works you have shared here. Could you pls share an updated link. Thanks you so much!
link is dead :( where else can I find it?
+mauricered2000 ill reupload it tonight
+Theoria Apophasis What is the new download link? Thanks
Thanks for your assistance. I was able to open the first time from my MAC computer but not my PC laptop.
gotcha!!
Do you mind updating the link? Save as no longer works.
Thank you? Link is unavailable now FYI. I'm looking for his writing/essays on metaphysics
Link still seems broken. Has is been moved to a different location?
I read _"The One and Only Transmigrant"_ and found the style tedious because of the footnote overload. But that made his point.
Ken, the link does not open. Is there a new link??
That link is no longer available because the domain is parked.
I know I didn't get to see this until now- but the link doesn't work. I guess the works were removed by now-- thanks anyway.
hi, your link is not working, please post a new one
OK I found it here on YT: "Angry Photographer: Best texts ever on Art Theory. FREE downloads Dr. A.K.C. I own the rights"
I have read 'The Transformation of Nature In Art' - or well I tried many years ago and it was a bit rough going for me. Maybe today I could do better. Thank you for this.

Please update the link for the good of the common good
With a DSL connection, the web server kept timing out and the software indicating the file download was completed. I downloaded the file to my smartphone using DSL and Wi-Fi. Any Wi Fi connection with a new smartphone should work.
Those having Internet timeout problems might want to do it that way.
I converted it to audio soil can listen to it when I drive
what, his books?
can you share the works again
Why don't you take the video down if the link is dead? Doesn't work even with right click/save as.
God is the creator; He is the artist whose hands create beauty. It follows that any beauty we create is glorifying to God, our creator.
hey man the link isn't working anymore. any alternative ?
Dear sir, I have read a few of A.K. Coomaraswamy’s books and I couldn’t agree more with you. The link is dead however, would you take a look at it?
File can not be downloaded. Would you mind sharing it? Thanks!
Excellent! Thank you for sharing. Really looking forward to reading this and getting a bigger brain. :)
kind regards sir
i wont be doing anymore vids until i get back from a photo shoot and then a vacation in key west. Im on the road right now in a hotel.

Mahn... how could your videos haven`t zillion views?!? You are one of the recently rare geniuses! There is a lot to learn from you not just at photography but many other fields. I guess the reason is the proof that the world is surely goes towards the way of bullshitness and doucherry. Maybe is your unconventional style of expressing, but f*ck yeah... you are really "doing your way"! :)
Your meta is not just to save us ordinary peoples $$ for choosing gear... from light-speed miles could be saw that you are unselfish preaching!
Greetings from Macedonia!!! Keep doing your good work and BE AWESOME!!!
i guess you have to get the word out. LOL .
well, im on a photo shoot and vacation for the next month, new vids in a month or less!
thanks, dear sir.
I guess: "Nothing popular is true and nothing true is popular"!
too true
Sweet! I love to "scratch my crotch". Thanks!
Damn, Id be willing to bet I recycled at least one of his books. I work at a recycling center and had someone bring in a box of pre-turn of the century Greek philosophy books and I set them aside to try and find a home for them but on a day off I had the workers grabbed the box and recycled the books. So somewhere a person is wiping there ass with recycled Greek philosophy toilet paper.
well, he did mostly indian, but also Greek, he knew 27 languages.
Thank you! 👍
