Some questions, which I am still exploring today, came to me during my psychedelic experiences,
and they provided the inspiration for my designs.
The Story behind my Art
Sanjeevani Shakti
She’s at peace and yet somehow on fire. The world is remade through the power of fierce women performing outrageous acts of creative rebellion undeterred by forces raged against them. It’s time to unleash the fierce woman in you.
Chaos in her head, courage in her heart, she takes on the world with a fierce smile. She is strong and simple. She is crazy and wise. Her beauty luster’s through the flaws. She is unstoppable. She has an unquenchable desire to rise above. Buddha is seen here balancing the fire with the ice. It lets you take a plunge into the deep end of sanctity. Buddha once said, "When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves." It has an epitome of tranquility- Buddha in deep meditation. Be a source of calm. Instead of spreading hate, go ahead and meditate. It inculcates the positivism of Buddha amalgamated with burning rage of a woman. It is like balancing of yin and yang. It has a scene from Kumbh Mela down below, a pilgrimage of faith, peace and devotion in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred river. Such is the power of a faith that can make multitudes of the old and weak and the young and frail enter without hesitation or complaint upon such incredible journeys and endure the resultant miseries without repining.
Cosmic Dimension
The Universe is an infinite multidimensional system of fractal patterns. Fractals are objects that look the same on all scales. It is said that the Universe originated in a Big Bang from which all matter and energy was set in motion.
The universe is always communicating with humans, sending across messages, causing coincidences and serendipity, reminding us to stop everything for a moment and look around. It is to believe in something else, something extraordinary.
When we look up at the night sky, and we know that yes, we are part of this Universe. We are in this Universe, but perhaps what is more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us. We are an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately, you are not just a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. An amazing miracle it is!
Shiva Shakti
One aspect, Shiva, is masculine, retains a static quality and remains identified with unmanifested consciousness. Shiva has the power to be but not the power to become or change. The other aspect, Shakti, is feminine, dynamic, energetic and creative. Shakti is the Great Mother of the universe, for it is from her that all form is born. In yoga, latent female energy is believed to lie coiled at the base of the spine. Kundalinijagaran a system of meditation directed towards the release of kundalini energy. Shakti, the feminine aspect is called Kundalini. This potential energy is said to rest at the base of the spinal cord. The objective of the Tantric practice of Kundalini-yoga is to awaken this cosmic energy and make it ascend through the psychic centers, the chakras that lie along the axis of the spine as consciousness potentials. She will then unite above the crown of the head with Shiva the pure consciousness. This union is the aim of Kundaliniyoga: a resolution of duality into unity again, a fusion with the Absolute. By this union the adept attains liberation while living which is considered to be the utmost experience of a lifetime: a union of the individual with the universe. Once Kundalini Shakti has ascended above the crown of the head and merged with Shiva, it is made to reverse its course and return to rest at the base of the spine.
Jungle Cry
Let’s peep into the Forest wild world! We have with us all the mighty animals of the forest such as wolf, elephant, fox, owl, reindeer and tiger and accompanying them are Shamans. A shaman is a person regarded as having access to, and influence in, the world of benevolent and malevolent spirits, who typically enters into a trance state during a ritual, and practices divination and healing. Shamanism is a practice that involves a practitioner reaching altered states of consciousness in order to perceive and interact with a spirit world and channel these transcendental energies into this world. It’s like a psychedelic twist to mesmerizing wild creatures. The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness and what better way there is to explore by knowing the animals living there. Take a walk in the forest and be a part of nature. It’s a beautiful place to get lost in and in the process one can find one’s true self. Be a curious soul and find adventures in the realms of forests. Forests are filled with exotic sounds,
