This is the union of primal joy that we seek in our yoga. Within ourselves is the primal energy that when aroused, rises upwards creating the inner and outer realities that we experience. Below, at the base chakra is the primal energy that can make a baby and above is the divine energy that manifests thoughts. In our yogic path, we seek union of the male and female energies within to be whole and in this union, we experience the transformation of joy and ecstasy-  that which is temporary & localized (root chakra) into that which is eternal, whole and universal (crown chakra) This painting depicts the blossoming of bliss that ascends upwards as the lotus of wisdom and eternal knowing while worshipping the feminine as the Goddess Kundalini. In perfect yogic bliss, we are the love formed, awake as the dance of Mother Kundalini that has consumed us in Her blossom!  About the Artist/Yogi: Each of these paintings have come alive through intense meditation. These paintings are the inner visions of the perfected beings of light, the Siddhar Gurus. Tapasyogi Adiyen Nandhi was graced with the divine vision in Thiruvannamalai many years back. After years of deep meditative practice in the presence of realized Sages who live their lives meditating in caves and the wilderness of South India, he expresses the sacred joys of inner depth through these paintings. These paintings carry within them, the potent energies of the ancient lineage of Sages while they are painted in a meditative state as a gush of energy, within a short time.  Taking visual form from higher wisdom of mantra vibrations, the resonant energies behind the sound converges as the inner light, hence the name for this art gallery, "Visions Beyond Enlightenment".      Narrative accompanying this painting will be hand signed by the artist Nandhi.   Framing   The paintings are available in a unique "Plak" frame: Ready to hang.
