  • The Forest God, dating back far beyond the Celtic period but known to them by many names. From an Original Sketch by Laura Broad

  • NAMASTE / OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS / 1400 US (16” X 20”ORIGINAL) / SIGNED DEDICATED PRINTS AVAILABLE When one travels over the Hindu Kush and into the vast expanse of India the greeting of Namaste is heard everywhere. This reverent bow with hands upturned pointing to heaven replaces the handshake so familiar to Westerners. This reverential bow is the acknowledgement of the Divine spark that is common in everything. This bow is the recognition of the bond we have with each other and our Creator and is reflected in this simple but holy gesture. This Divine spark encompasses all that there is, from the vast to the small, nothing is left untouched. I have always admired and respected the commitment in which a chosen few have decided to leave this material world and to seek the embrace of the spiritual aspect of life. Leaving all behind and traveling unencumbered by possessions they ferry across the troubled waters of life. They have shunned the cult of money and fortune. They recognize that the world is suffocating on greed and it’s spiritual arteries are clogged with a gluttony of excessively rich appetites. For them money and fame are no longer a feramone that compels them. They have been set free. I have met a few of these “holy men and women”. They were from different spiritual and religious beliefs but the one common aspect to them all was the fact that they were never really noticed by the world. These holy sages walk about the world and leave no footprints. Nothing is diminished by their presence but rather everything they encounter is enhanced. I have heard it said “that once a saint knows that he or she is a saint, they no longer are” and I believe that that is true. So, I will continue to travel my path and to try to keep my eyes and my ears open because I never really know when I will again encounter another one of my spiritual teachers. Namaste! visionary imagist “Joey”

  • This one was the model’s idea as well. We went through several bottles of blue paint. There are actually three girls here, with two of them in black standing behind. Ourselves not actually being Hindu, we had to do some research to find that Shiva actually appears in both male and female forms.

  • I’m sort of feeling creative lately.. but not sure what to do about it. So as usual, I covered my stupid face in makeup and took stupid pictures. :D I’m not sure that I really actually like it.. the colors are nice, but it didn’t exactly come out the way I wanted. Somewhat inspired by the Ethiopian Omo people It’s Body paint, eye shadow and a bindi. More from this series: / © Jessica Walker 2009

  • 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.

  • “The Dance of Shiva: The Hindu View of Matter in the Light of Modern Physics,” and later in the The Tao of Physics beautifully relates Nataraj’s dance with modern physics. He says that “every subatomic particle not only performs an energy dance, but also is an energy dance; a pulsating process of creation and destruction…without end…For the modern physicists, then Shiva’s dance is the dance of subatomic matter. As in Hindu mythology, it is a continual dance of creation and destruction involving the whole cosmos; the basis of all existence and of all natural phenomena.” Calendar
