Welcoming Elephants

In Indian mythology Elephant is one of the significant animal. In Sankrit it is called Gaja and it depicts number of positive attributes, including abundance, fertility and richness; boldness and strength; and wisdom and royalty. It has been said that Lord Shiva unknowingly killed Ganesha, who was guarding at door and later lord Shiva had to replace Ganesha's head with Elephant as he could not find the original skull. 

In hinduisum, Lord Ganesha is the God of Good Luck and Auspiciousness and is the Dispeller of problems and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the God of wisdom, wealth, health, celibacy, fertility and happiness.

Blossom in Autumn

60X90 cm

These sort of textured paintings look dramatic if focused with special light effects.

सोनेरी किरणांची झालर लेवून
तू माझ्या खिडकीत डोकावत होतास
कोजागिरीच्या चांदण्यात
मला नाहून टाकत होतास

घट्ट मिटत्या काळोखात
छटा माझ्या आजमावत होतास
तुझे चित्र साकारण्यात
दिवस माझा सरत होता

रोज निराळ्या पिवळ्या रंगाचा
रंग मला उमगत होता
तरीही माझ्या पटावर तू
काही केल्या उमटत नव्हतास

कारण…. बहुदा…
शरदातील त्या पानगळीचा
मला कधीच अडसर नव्हता
माझ्या दारच्या पळसाला
सतत तोच बहर होता…

True love doesn't happen right away; it's an ever-growing process. It develops after you've gone through many ups and downs, when you've suffered together, cried together, laughed together...Ricardo Montalban

You will be never free untill you free yourself from the prison of your own false thoughts...Philip Arnold

Info about OM:
Om or Aum is of paramount importance in Hinduism. This symbol is a sacred syllable representing Brahman, the impersonal Absolute of Hinduism.

Om represents both the unmanifest (nirguna) and manifest (saguna) aspects of God. That is why it is called pranava, to mean that it pervades life and runs through our prana or breath.

If repeated with the correct intonation, it can resonate throughout the body so that the sound penetrates to the centre of one's being, the atman or soul.

There is harmony, peace and bliss in this simple but deeply philosophical sound. By vibrating the sacred syllable Om, the supreme combination of letters, if one thinks of the Ultimate Personality of Godhead and quits his body, he will certainly reach the highest state of "stateless" eternity, states the Bhagavad Gita.
