This article deals with two entirely different sets of symbols. The eight auspicious symbols of Buddhism (which constitute the main part of the article) are already covered in Buddhist symbolism. I'd suggest a double merger with Buddhist symbolism and Hinduism#Themes_and_symbols. RandomCritic 10:06, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] the merge will be complicated

before reading the above call to merge, I consolidated the content from Buddhist symbolism here. Sorry!

I can't speak to the Hindu content, but there is enough significance and complexity to these symbols on the Buddhist side that they truly need their own article. However that hypothetical article need not have the name Ashtamangala as they are also known as the Eight Auspicious Symbols. brain 01:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
