A Lotus flower (Nelombo Nucifera), Sri Lanka. / A different angle on a shot that I’ve had on rb for agees… this is the accompanying description with the first shot: Lotus flowers, or “sacred water-lilies”, amongst other names, are considered sacred both in Hindu and Buddhist religions. / In Buddhism (I took this photograph at a Buddhist rock temple), the lotus represents purity of body, spirit and mind “floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire”. And according to legend, the Buddha could walk from birth and everywhere he stepped, lotus flowers bloomed. It is for this reason that the Buddha is often depicted sitting on a giant lotus leaf or blossom. / Meanwhile, not wishing to miss it out, in Hinduism, the Lotus is associated with creation mythology and the gods Vishnu, Brahma, and the goddesses Lakshmi and Sarasvati. It has also traditionally symbolised divine beauty, with the unfolding petals suggesting the expansion of the soul. Anyway, Religious Education lesson over. I have a feeling this particular specimen might have been not fully opened, but I’m no botanist, so what do I know?

It took me forever to get this painting to be ok. / Had to lay it down and pick it up again, over and over.. / While working on it there was the strugle ( that is there more often..) between working from the soul and working from ego.. / Ego has th; I can use my tools to create this the way i want it to be.. the soul tells me to let it be.. accept the flow.. clearly this struggle is not only present while i paint.. but the painting helps me to see and understand more. Samsara in buddhism en hinduisme stands for the cylce of death and rebirth without a start and end, under the influence of illusion and karma and filled with agony. / The presence of the mentale states of desire, aversion and ignorance form an important aspect of the existence of Samsara. Music / / Samsara is the world as we ordinary human beings experience it, and where the mental and emotional states of desire, irritation and confusion often get the best of us. Samsara the Movie / “Samsara” is a spiritual love story set in the majestic landscape of Ladakh, in the Himalayas, about one man’s quest to find enlightenment. Tashi, a brilliant young disciple, is just completing three years of solitary meditation in a remote hermitage. Brought out of a deep trance, Tashi is taken back to his ancient monastery where he slowly recovers his strenght, but his return has unexpected results. Despite a life devoted to the rigors of spiritual development, he finds himself experiencing a suprisingly profound sexual awakening. These feelings coincide with his journey to a village to perform a harvest blessing where he meets Pema, a beautiful young woman. For the first time, Tashi begins to question the spiritual values of his monastic existence, realizing that one has to experience worldly existence in order to renounce it. Through Tashi’s eyes, this spiritual and moving love story chronicles one man’s discovery of the promise of “Samsara” – the world.

In Hinduism, sadhu is a common term for a mystic,an ascetic, practitioner of yoga (yogi) and/or wandering monks. The sadhu is solely dedicated to achieving the fourth and final Hindu goal of life, moksha (liberation), through meditation and contemplation. Sadhu is usually referred to as “Baba” by common people. The word ‘baba’ also means father, or uncle, in many Indian languages. Sometimes the respectful suffix ‘ji’ may also be added after baba, to give greater respect to the renunciate. Sadhus often wear ochre-colored clothing, symbolizing renunciation. There are 4 or 5 million Sadhus in India today and they are still widely respected: revered for their holiness.Sadhus are not unified in their practices. Some live in the mountains alone for years at a time, eating only a few bananas. Others walk around with one hand in the air for decades. Still others partake in the religious consumption of charas (hand-made cannabis hashish) and contemplate the cosmic nature and presence of God in the smoke patterns. Sadhus engage in a wide variety of religious practices. Some practice extreme asceticism while others mainly focus on praying, chanting or meditating.
