Sri Aurobindo reminds us,
āIndian painting no more than Indian architecture and sculpture could escape from its absorbing motive, its transmuting atmosphere, the direct or subtle obsession of the mind that has been subtly and strangely changed, the eye that has been trained to see, not as others with only the external eye but by a constant communing of the mental parts and the inner vision with the self beyond mind and the spirit to which forms are only a transparent veil or a slight index of its own greater splendour.ā |

In part 2 of our ongoing series, the author writes: "According to the Indian philosophy of worship, with which are closely allied the origins of art, the ishta devatÄ or chosen form of deity is but oneās own ideal self, svarupa." Read more at the link below.
Also enjoy a few videos inspired by Sri Aurobindoās poems, which the author gives as examples of the Indian aesthetic vision as reflected in Sri Aurobindoās literary work. |
