	The Role of the Devotional Image in Hinduism   This is an absolutely AMAZING online resource for those just learning about (or for those who just love taking in beautiful traditional and educational imagery) traditional Hindu practices. This is basically an online documentary on the role that devotional images have in Hindu worship. The article itself is about 19 pages long, with many spectacular pictures from various Indian locales to illustrate the material being presented. What is most appealing, is that there are several video clips with full audio showing various Hindu devotional practices, and narrated for greater comprehension. This is a wonderful resource for observing traditional practices, so that one will have a better grasp on how to perform them, or how they may be adapted to an IndoPagan practice.   ** Unfortunately for the past few months this link has not been working.

	IndoPaganism and the Proto-Indo-European Connection   The Proto-Indo-European Religions   This article introduces a number of topics regarding the common link between such beloved-by-the-NeoPagan-community ancient cultures as the Celtic, Norse, Greek, and Slavics...and including India and Iran. Linguistics have proven amazing parallels within the spiritual systems of these peoples, and trace them back to a common root - the proto-Indo-Europeans.   Indo-European Mythologies : Genesis and Evolution of Characters   This really interesting article makes an attempt at tracing a common base or structure to the mythological characters of Indo-European cultures. As you may or may not know, India shares a cultural heratige with the Celts, Greeks, etc. This article may be of great aid to those seeking a reference point for blending NeoPagan and Hindu belief.   The Proto-Indo-European Language Demonstration & Exploration Site   This site traces the roots of many words from various cultures. Interesting info can be found here regarding the links between ancient societies.   The Proto-Indo-European Hearth   This is an article from the ADF exploring the spiritual significance of the hearth in proto-Indo-European society.   Two Proto-Indo-European Rituals (Group & Solitary) from the ADF   Two rituals written by members of the Druid organization, the ADF. Although the bulk of ADF members practice Celtic Druidry, the organization openly recognizes and encouraged cross-spiritual practice of other Indo-European traditions which share a common root with Druidry. The Vedic Reconstructionst branch of the ADF is one such group within the organization. These rituals attempt to re-create in language and style, proto-Indo-European ritual.
