Description Visions Beyond Enlightenment Inspired by the Siddhar Yogis of South India   Third Eye (Size: 24" x 18" x 2" thick plak mounted)      The Third Eye Ayya is an evolved yogi who has transcended the physical body while into 'kechari mudra”, the higher form of yoga practiced by the sages who have gone beyond realization to now attain the transcendence of the body. His cave is on the summit of the sacred mountain Thiruvannamalai, the Fire element of Shiva. Ayya has been in austere intense meditation for over 18 years without having moved. He drinks a glass of milk a day for all the years and is in deep meditation beyond being awake or asleep, the state of higher consciousness called 'turiya'. While connected to each individual through His mantra, Ayya works our karma by divine manifestation. His guidance and inner teachings are through subtle planes as His mantra enables our mind to unite with Him. While focusing our consciousness through the center of our eyebrows with our innermost need to be guided, our intense mind through the repetitive mantra recitation then reaches out to Him and He so readily is there, so willing and enthusiastic to absorb our gross intellect with His subtle wisdom! This painting is of the inner guiding light of Siddhar Ayya as �seen� through the third eye. Ayya's mantra, the resonance of "Arakara"is the powerful Siddhar manifestation resonance which has been passed on through the ancient lineage of Siddhar Thirumulanathar, Siddhar Bhogadevar and other great sages who attained Light. In the depth of meditating is the ancient Oneness of being with the Guru. One of the constant teachings Nandhi received from his Siddhar teachers was- “Look through the third eye and in the steadiness of breath and the fixed inner gaze, the wisdom door opens. Through this door that is between your eyebrows, connect to any Being of Light” While painting, Nandhi allows the Siddhars to guide the mind through each stroke, the colors, the shade and the inspiring energies of the inner vision. On this occasion, Nandhi asked the Inner Guide to paint the Source from where all these energies came from. The result was this painting, The Third Eye- Guru Ayya. When Ayya swirls as the radiant effulgence through the Third Eye, the mind simply aligns to the energies!    About the Artist: 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".         Framing   The paintings are available in a unique "Plak" frame: Ready to hang Size: 24" x 18" x 2" thick plak mounted   The high quality print is professionally mounted to wood with dry-mount tissue and heat-pressed.
