Oil Painting - Perception

Look within to reach yourself and know and enjoy your depths.
Looking outwards connects you with people, luxuries of life, outward glamour, materialistic pleasures and everything seems so beautiful…
But somewhere in the process you tend to lose the connection with your inner self.

Oil Painting - Ying Yang

Many natural dualities such as dark and light, female and male, low ang high , cold and hot are viewed in chinese thoughts as manifestations of yin yang. Ying Yang are complimentary opposites within a greater role. They constantly interact never existing in absolute. In indian philosophy, Shiv Shakti define the male and female eneriges.
Here Ida and Pingala nadis represent the female and male energies, the moon and the sun respectively. When male and female energies are balanced, energy rises through sushumna nadi and one reaches pure consciousness and becomes one with Shiva.

Oil Painting - Sleeping Buddha

When Buddha was about to take mahasamadhi, he is supposed to have lied down. Image of sleeping Buddha emits energy of peace, calm, serenity and simplicity.

Oil Paintings - Advait

When there was absolutely nothing and there was total darkness everywhere – There was only Shiva in Jyoti Roop and he existed in the word form as omkara.
The world is only the manifestation of that supreme light. This is the philosophy of advait.

Oil Painting - Shivoham

I am not this body made up of five elements – earth, water, air, ether and fire. Nor I am the five senses comprising of eyes, ears, tongue, nose and touch. I am not this mind, intellect, nor the ego(i.e. mann, buddhi, ahankar). I am the omnipresent, formless, all pervading, infinite, indestructible which can neither be liberated nor be bound. I am the soul; I am Shiva.

Mind Games

In search of finding a meaning to our existence, my prime endeavour was to know about my latest capabilities and desires.

To know how the human mind works; the reasons and the repurcussions… To know what tickles us, to understand what excites us, what depresses us and why…

Western psychologists and authors have put forward numerous approaches on how to conquer mind, people, success etc. But even they cometo India to find solutions to their problems. Peace, happiness, health and yoga are names and synonyms. The science in India was much ahead of our times. Every problem and solution emerges from our mind. What we think makes a difference to our existence. In my quest I came across interesting subjects which inspired me to put them on canvas, to make them live, to make them speak for themselves.







Energy Matters

Matter can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can be changed from one form to another.
Conversion of mass and energy is defined by
E=mc2
Law of conservation of energy states that energy at any point of time remains constant.
What are our modern scientists trying to tell us… That every matter can be described as energy which is constant at any given point of time. That is exactly what the philosophy of Advait tells us viz. every life is just a manifestation of that supreme soul or the eternal source of energy i.e. SHAKTI.
Our philosophy even promotes universal brotherhood, vasudeva kutumbum, a beautiful phrase indeed.













Limiting the Unlimited

We often identify ourselves on the basis of country, class, creed, education, birth etc. Are we in search of an identity, an acceptance in society or being one up. Is it really helping us in staying happy or is it creating problem by complicating our life.

We often distinguish things on the basis of words like ‘me’ & ‘mine’ which are invariably the reason for our pain and sorrows.

Am I not digging my own grave byfalling in the pit called … Ego.
I am not this body. I am not the soul.

I am SHIVA.
