RELIGIOUS HISTORY ideal the Yōgī who, by a system of Yōga exercises, aims at freeing himself from worldly attachments and placing himself in communion with the Universal Self. European archaeologists invariably regard the Graeco-Roman type of Gandhāra as the highest achievement of Buddhist art, because it approaches nearer to the Greek-ideal. Nothing is more firmly rooted in the mind of the educated European than the idea that the Greeks established aesthetic models for all times and all people. And because Indian sculptors and painters, after coming into contact with debased Graeco-Roman art, deliberately formed their ideals upon a different artphilosophy, they are classes as decadents and degenerates.
