VYDÛNO ESTETIKOS BRUOÞAI
Traits of Vydûnas‘ Aesthetics
SUMMARY
MOKSLINË MINTIS
The aesthetics of Vydûnas is an integral part of his culture theory. That theory is based on the Hindu
Vedanta pantheistic concept of being, according to which the spiritual absolute makes the whole reality
and is both immanent and transcendent in relation to the world. By way of evolution, the world
goes back to the state of pure spirituality from which it originated. Man is a being which has already
reached that state. His essence – humanity – belongs to the sphere of pure spirituality. By means of his
essence, he influences the world and creates culture. Along with science and morality, art is one of
three major ways to create culture. Following this way, the creative power expresses itself through perceptible
beauty. In nature, the creative power, the propagation of beauty represents growth, progress,
blossoming, youth. The absolute spirit is present in all that. In art, the human spirit is a creative subject.
By means of artistic creativity, not only the spirit of the creator, i.e. of the artist, expresses itself,
but also the lives of other people are involved in the spiritual evolution of the world. This is not only
the social but also the existential mission of art. The influential power of art mostly depends on the
level of the brightness of the artist’s spirit. The different kinds of art originate from various kinds of
material used in creative activities.
