Religion / Hinduism
English term or phrase: auspiciousness
Wie kann man im folgenden Zusammenhang (es geht um den Hinduismus), das
Wort "auspiciousness" übersetzen. Es soll der "purity", also der "Reinheit" gegenübergestellt werden:

The two approaches to mundane arenas were based on two distinct value orientations, on two "axes of sacred value", values of auspiciousness and purity. These two distinct value orientations were always closely interrelated. Although purity was hierarchically higher, it could never be concretely realized without auspiciousness, in which other – non Brahaminic castes, especially the Ksatriya from which usually the ruler
came, were more predominant.

kommt der Idee des "darshan" auspicious viewing of deity in the Hindu faith am naechsten. Glueck halte ich fuer nicht ausreichend um auch den Gedanken einer Verheissung im Jenseits auszudruecken.
