Sacred and Profane Masks

Comic Book Resources - CBR News - The Comic Wire:

"“I think in the east there is a whole different perception of the cosmos, it's architecture, and existence in general,” explains Chopra of that “voice.” “In the East there is also the great Pantheon of Gods. And each God represents a certain state of being. Lakshmi is the Goddess of wealth and represents our quest for luxury and comfort. Ganesh is the God if wisdom and remover of obstacle - he represents our aspirations toward wisdom and enlightenment. The Indian Gods and what they represent are the seeds to great Super Heroes! I also think there is a certain acceptance of contradictions in Eastern mythology - a basic understanding that the sacred and the profane, the sinner and the saints are actually the same players who have just managed to exchange masks for the time being. The mythic traditions of the east feature a lot of these elements and I think they resonate more and more with folks here.”"
