Collected Flowers of Moh/ Mahua. 

Madhuca longifolia.

March 2022

Chandrapur, Maharashtra.

Several parts of Moh/ Mahua are useful to the creatures in the jungle and to man. People claim ownership over trees, and the flowers from the trees that they own are to be collected solely by them. The flowers that fall off from the trees on the ground during night, dawn and early morning, are collected in a typical basket by people. These flowers can be eaten raw. But after drying the flowers, many food items can be prepared from them. Mahua Liquor, which is famous in some parts of India is prepared from the Moh/ Mahua flowers. These trees are an important food source for the jungle folks.

Difference Between White Coral & Red Coral:- Benefits And Uses

Introduction Yellow Sapphire and Yellow Topaz are two popular gemstones that are often compared to each other. While they may appear similar, there are several differences that set them apart. Here are the key differences between yellow Sapphire and yellow Topaz: Composition Yellow Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum, which is the same mineral that makes up rubies. It is an aluminum oxide with the chemical formula Al2O3. Yellow Topaz, on the other hand, is a silicate mineral that is composed of aluminum, fluorine, and silicon. Color Yellow Sapphire is usually a light, almost greenish canary yellow, while Yellow Topaz is usually a darker, more brownish-yellow. Hardness and Durability Yellow Sapphire is a harder and more durable gemstone than Yellow Topaz. It scores a 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it one of the hardest minerals on earth, while Yellow Topaz scores an 8. This means that Yellow Sapphire is more scratch-resistant and less prone to chipping or cracking. Clarity Yellow Sapphire is typically clearer and more transparent than Yellow Topaz. Yellow Topaz is often cloudy, with inclusions that can affect its clarity. Rarity and Value Yellow Sapphire is a rarer and more valuable gemstone than Yellow Topaz. Yellow Sapphire is found in limited quantities in Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Tanzania, while Yellow Topaz is more commonly found in Brazil, Sri Lanka, and Russia. Cut and Shape Both Yellow Sapphire and Yellow Topaz can be cut into a variety of shapes and styles. However, Yellow Sapphire’s hardness and durability make it easier to cut into intricate shapes and designs. Symbolism Yellow Sapphire has long been associated with wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. It is believed to bring success and fulfillment in one's personal and professional life. Yellow Topaz, on the other hand, is said to bring energy, creativity, and motivation. Conclusion While Yellow Sapphire and Yellow Topaz may share some similarities, they are different gemstones with distinct differences in their composition, color, hardness and durability, clarity, rarity and value, cut and shape, and symbolism. When deciding between the two, it is important to consider your personal preferences, budget, and the specific qualities you are looking for in a gemstone.

ETERNAL CIRCLE-GOLDEN FORTUNE TREE, Baljit Chadha

LEARNT BASICS OF ART IN JAPANFROM RENOUNED ARTIST MS OHTA MIYOKO.The Eternal Circle .Circle is an old symbol. The earliest humans looked up the sky and found the orb of fire giving them light and warmth. Sun for them was a mystical power, a god. They saw its movement from morning in the east and to the west in the evening. Next day again it came up in the sky. They regarded it as an omnipresent power that repeated its emergence with cyclical regularity. There was no beginning or end to the sun for them. It was the sun that allowed their imagination to look in the circular form endlessness, infinity. Thus quite early circle became a symbol of completeness, eternity and also rejuvenation. Circle also denoted the Nature. They found seasons changing and then again re-emerging with regularity. The seasons became the circle of Nature. In winter all greenery vanished and then when Spring came life stated flourishing once again. The great Mohenjo daro-Harrappan civilization had a script as yet un-deciphered. They often had a symbol of a circle with six spokes inset. What it represented is not known. From prehistory to history circle gained greater importance and came to symbolise the cycle of birth and death and also the soul�s eternity. In the rainbow spectrum of Indian philosophy, religion and culture, circle has been used as a varied symbol. The cycle of birth and rebirth is broken only through moksha. King Ashok propagated Buddha�s path to enlightenment through Dharm Chakra�a wheel with eight spokes of a chariot. I feel the wheel was invented with inspiration from sun or moon. Hindu philosophy talks about chakras. It is believed that there are seven chakras or source of light located within the subtle body. The Tantra cult uses the concept of chakras for awakening kundalini. The chakras were illustrated with images and this lead to the development of tantric art. Ajit Mukherjee in his seminal book The Art of Tantra helped to create in early sixties a movement of tantric art in India. But it did not last very long being bound by a strict and regulated expression as per dictates of Tantra iconography. Baljit Chadha is an artist with deep roots in Asian cultural traditions which includes India and especially Japan. Long years spent in Japan drew his creative interest to Japanese style painting. With great felicity he paints Nature and flowers. That is but only one aspect of his creative forays. Here I am concerned with his spiritual focus on the circle as a means of artistic expression. To paint with spiritual symbolism requires an inner search, equanimity, and a feel for the timeless. Paintings without this kind of attitude will not carry the dynamics of the spiritual; they will be like empty shells. Baljit paints with the inner dynamics. His present works are an effort to capture the metaphysical. His creativity unfolds through the circle in a kind of inner automatism. You have to understand his oeuvre in the context of his personal search for righteousness. I wish to bring to your notice the spiritual umbilical of his personal search. It is pertinent to know the Indian philosophy of life and Beyond. In Sikhism karma or kirat is seen as the vehicle to free us from the cycle of birth and death and to have mukti. One has to free oneself from pride, lust, anger, greed, self-centricity, maya and moh (attachment) and to devote life to sewa�service to mankind. Bhagavad Gita 2.27 also says, "One who has taken his birth is sure to die, and after death one is sure to take birth again. Therefore, in the unavoidable discharge of your duty, you should not lament." Thus cycle of life, death and rebirth are essential parts of thought process in India. Baljit�s paintings have varied moments of inspiration. In some works the circle is a serene quiet peaceful disc emitting soft tones and leading you to a feeling of inner joy. This you find in his work 2380. This work has a churning of the inner space and a rotation suggesting the cycle of the world or universe. The core of the painting appears to be a mystical kernel beyond human mind and intellect. In yet another work there are concentric circles and the core is a black bindu. Here the circles appear to symbolise the simultaneous working of different cycles of worldly activities and attachments. You get out of one circle and you are caught in another and so on ad infintum. (2486). You must notice the use of free moody lines that cross the circles and daubs of congealed colour. Baljit use this inner automatism where he does not seem to guide his hand or brush consciously. A lurking desire to be free of the material, bodily, intellectual and to allow the magic of anhad to take over is what I see in his use of these Zen like child�s scribbles. Baljit has used these idiosyncratic free floating lines in most of his works. These lines seem at times to �obstruct� your view of the pure circle. The eternal spiritual that the circle represents is often made hazy by our infatuation with the maya. At other times he uses tumbling interacting images in embellished gold reminding of the drama of life that has its own breathtaking charm. In yet another painting there is a linear window-like overlay through which you see the circle of the infinite. Here you become aware of the beauty of the spiritual that shines in cosmic blue colour (2376). Spiral is another important symbol that is our journey to a higher reality of being. Sometimes the luminescent circle has a spiral running over it�the desire to reach the ananata through our soaring spirit (2471, 2476). The subconscious doodles that are used sometimes have a rhythm that seems to evoke the universe and the movement of stellar constellations. Many painting have a centre or a kernel of the circle that seems to enter infinity and mystical Beyond. Observe that the centre of the circles is always full of light to make you think of the spiritual aura and awe of unknown. Baljit has his spiritual awakening in the world and in the flowers that he so lovingly paints. On an art related visit to Singapore I found the overflowing joy that he felt while visiting the botanical garden with different exotic flowers in bloom. This you see in the beautiful painting of an ethereal blooming blue flower. He paints the golden yellow stigma of the plant reminding you of the mystical centre in the circle. The flower opens with immense energy straight in your face, it mesmerizes you, holds you in its clasp and if you focus long on its centre you are drawn in it. In a different way his painting reminds me of Van Gogh�s intense sunflowers that emit a spiritual intensity. You find in the world what you want to see in it and not what it has. Baljit finds what he is looking for in the circular forms�be it a round flower, sun, or the eternal soul or the cycle of life death and rebirth or the planets and stars in the universe. Baljit looks at the eternal drama of the universe through his symbolic circle. I may here quote from a poem from the great Indian saint and poet Kabir that is also apt for Baljit�s art� I have known in my body the sport of the universe: I have escaped from the error of this world. The inward and the outward are become as one sky, the Infinite and the finite are united: I am drunken with the sight of this All! This Light of Thine fulfils the universe: the lamp of love that burns on the salver of knowledge. Kab�r says: "There error cannot enter, and the conflict of life and death is felt no more." Viktor Vijay KumarI LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY. I TAKEPHOTOGRAPHS OF FLOWERS AND CONVERT THEM IN TO MY PAINTINGS I have created a new technique called (FLOAT ON COLORS) .Using mix media on paper. I evolved a style of art that has minimal gap in feeling and expression. Rapidity and quickness of expression in my art comes from the well of inner spirituality. My art is not planned, thought-out and cerebral it is based on spontaneity. Abstract Expressionism is a wider term and my art follows it in variegated dimensions. My journey in art continued and I experiment with different painting instruments and techniques. My dependence on brushwork is rather limited. I frequently and freely use spatulas, wooden sticks, masking, and sand-mix, push bottles and what comes handy in the moment. I use acrylic with mix media. I have developed acrylic based glazes that were possible earlier only with oil paints. The glazes impart a charm similar to enamel glazes. My art journey finds depth and width in continuous experimentation, forays into the unknown and choosing challenging metaphors of expression. Where my art journey will take me next I leave to higher forces .

19 Interesting Diamond Facts

At first glance, diamonds look like little more than small, faceted pieces of glass — they’re transparent, they sparkle, and sure, they sit really nicely on jewelry. But when you take a closer look, the true value of diamonds becomes more apparent. After all, there’s a reason that diamonds are the world’s most popular gemstones.

Want to know a bit more about what makes diamonds so special? Here are 20 interesting diamond facts to get you started.

1. Mined diamonds form very deep underground

It’s no secret that mined diamonds come from underground, but most people aren’t quite aware of how far underground we’re talking about. Diamonds are formed far below the earth’s outer crust, approximately 100 miles down in the upper mantle. To offer a sense of perspective, the deepest hole ever drilled only made it about 7.5 miles (or about 12 kilometers) down. We’d need about 13 such holes to reach prime diamond-making depth.

2. Diamonds are pure carbon

What is a diamond? Well, when it comes to making diamonds, the ingredient list is pretty short. In fact, all you need is carbon. Carbon is an element commonly found on earth, and is unique in that a single carbon atom can form chemical bonds with up to four other atoms. When these atoms bond with four other carbon atoms tetrahedrally, it forms a rigid, three-dimensional crystal of unmatched hardness.

3. Diamonds and graphite are made of the same thing

Graphite — the slick, dusty material that gives modern pencils their mark-making ability — is also made from crystallized carbon. So why is diamond so different from graphite? Well the answer lies in the structure; much like in diamonds, graphite’s carbon atoms are bonded to four other carbon atoms. But unlike the tetrahedral structure found in diamonds, graphite atoms are arranged more two-dimensional — layered, like chicken wire. This allows the layers to separate easily… which is something diamond simply doesn’t do.

4. No one is quite sure how long it takes diamonds to form in the ground

The diamonds that are mined from the ground are generally extremely old — billions of years old, nearly as old as the earth itself. But the processes involved in creating these diamonds are a bit harder to clock. It may take billions of years for a diamond to grow, or it may take as little as a matter of hours. At the same time, the processes may not be consistent; environmental conditions could change, a diamond may stop growing for a few million years, and then the process might resume.

5. It takes a lot of heat and pressure to make diamonds

We may not understand how long a diamond takes to form underground, but we have a good idea of how much heat and pressure is needed. To get the process going, you need about 725,000 pounds (328854.5 kilograms) per square inch of pressure, and temperatures of around 2200°F (1200°C). This allows the carbon atoms to bond together correctly, instead of just ending up as crummy old graphite.

6. Diamonds are brought to the surface by explosive volcanic eruptions

For diamonds to travel from the upper mantle to the outer layers of the earth’s crust, they need to hitch a ride with a volcano. That said, most volcanic vents simply don’t go deep enough. Kimberlite volcanoes, on the other hand, reach far down into the upper mantle. During a kimberlite eruption, diamonds and surrounding material is explosively pushed to the surface by rapidly expanding gases. Kimberlite volcanoes are very rare, and scientists believe that the most recent kimberlite eruption may have occurred as far back as 10 to 20 million years ago.

7. Diamond may not be the hardest substance after all

According to the Mohs Scale (named after mineralogist Friedrich Mohs), diamonds are the hardest substance in existence. In fact, they’re about four-times as hard as the second hardest substance on the scale. Unfortunately, it looks like the Mohs Scale may be somewhat out of date. Both wurtzite boron nitride and lonsdaleite might be harder than diamond, depending on how you measure it. Oh, and it’s speculated that dying stars pack atoms together so tightly that the resulting “nuclear pasta” makes diamond look like tissue paper. But given that a single gram of nuclear pasta would likely weigh about 1,500,000 tons, you probably wouldn’t have much luck wearing it on your finger.

8. Not all diamonds are colorless

Although colorless diamonds are generally considered the most valuable, diamonds can be found in a range of colors, including green, blue, yellow, brown, orange, purple, red, or even black. The color of a diamond is dependent upon the inclusion of trace elements within the diamond, or the introduction of other imperfections or impurities during formation.

9. Diamonds are named for their hardness

The modern English word diamond has origins in the Greek word adamao, which means “I subdue.” This root word shows up in other, similar words, such as adamantine, meaning “unbreakable.”

10. For a long time, diamonds were only found in India

Diamonds have been traded for thousands of years, and as far back as the 1st century AD, were already considered by some to be the most precious stones in the world. But it wasn’t until the 1700s, when India’s diamond supplies started running short, that diamond mines began cropping up in other parts of the world.

11. Most of the world’s mined diamonds come from only a handful of countries

Russia and Botswana are the world’s leading diamond producers, accounting for over half of the world’s annual diamond production. Canada, Angola, and South Africa are responsible for most of the remaining diamonds. Together, these five countries produce approximately 88% of the world’s diamonds.

12. Most mined diamonds are not used in jewelry

Thanks to their extreme durability and hardness, diamonds are useful in a range of industrial applications, including cutting, drilling, polishing, etc. And, because a large portion of rough, mined diamonds are unsuitable for jewelry, approximately 80% of mined diamonds are put to work as industrial diamonds.

13. The Cullinan Diamond is the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found

Discovered in South Africa in 1905, the Cullinan Diamond originally weighed a whopping 3,106.75 carats. It made its way into the hands of the British Royal Family, and was eventually cut down into nine separate diamonds, with the two largest (Cullinan I and Cullinan II) currently holding places of prominence as part of the Crown Jewels.

14. Traditional diamond mining is dangerous and environmentally damaging

In total, diamond mining results in approximately 1 injury for every 1000 workers annually. At the same time, for every single carat of diamond mined from the ground, around 100 square feet of land are disturbed and nearly 6000 lbs of mineral waste are produced.

15. It is possible to grow real diamonds in controlled conditions

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and structurally identical to mined diamonds. In fact, in 2018 the Federal Trade Commission amended its Jewelry Guides, eliminating any distinction between lab diamonds and mined diamonds.

16. Lab-grown diamonds were first made in the 1950s

While lab-grown diamonds are only beginning to change the face of the diamond industry, the first man-made diamond was actually created nearly 70 years ago. General Electric funded the process, and the resulting diamonds were generally smaller than 0.1 carats and used in their unpolished form for industrial purposes.

17. There are two processes labs use to grow diamonds

To create diamonds in a lab, diamond producers rely on one of two possible methods:  High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). HPHT replicates the extreme heat and pressure found within the earth to melt carbon and force it to bond together, crystalizing into a diamond. CVD takes a slightly different approach, heating a carbon-rich gas until it turns into plasma, allowing the carbon to crystalize and grow around a small diamond starter seed. HPHT was developed first, but the CVD process is widely considered the superior approach.

18. Lab-Grown Diamonds cost less and create less waste

While diamond mining can be a hazardous, environmentally unfriendly process, growing diamonds in a lab is ethical and ecologically responsible. And, because lab-grown diamonds eliminate the long supply chains associated with the mined-diamond trade, they can be sold for significantly less; a lab-grown diamond will generally cost 20–30% less than a mined diamond of the same quality.

19. Lab diamonds can be grown very quickly

While we may not be sure how long it takes for diamonds to form underground, we know that growing diamonds in a lab is a relatively fast process. A single carat diamond can be grown in around one month.

Blue sapphire stone and its history

Blue sapphires are considered one of the fast-acting stones in Vedic astrology. It represents God Saturn. If you want to bring instant success, fame, wealth and prosperity to your life, a blue sapphire gemstone can flourish your life instantly. Vedic astrologers often suggest wearing a Neelam stone to bring instant development in your life.

On the other hand, it has immense importance in fancy jewellery making businesses. It’s considered to be royal and exclusive. Blue sapphire rings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants look amazing if the best quality sapphire is used.

If you buy neelam stone online, it may cost you Rs 2,000-5,000 per ratti.

The hidden myth:

Just like Vedic astrology in India, some other ancient civilizations used to consider blue sapphires as mystically powerful.

In ancient Persian tradition, our Earth was said to be stable balancing on enormous sapphires. The blue reflection from them gave the sky its colour.

The ancient Romans and Greeks also claimed that the blue sapphire stone holds mystic powers within it. It gives the wearer wisdom and better healthy life. In medieval times, royal people often wore blue sapphires as amulets. They believed it will protect them from evil powers.

Modern history:

Today, people buy neelam stone to represent truth, honesty and loyalty. Also, they are associated with royalty as well. Several countries have their royal crowns featured with blue sapphires. For example, the United Kingdom and Nederland Royal jewellery collections have featured blue sapphires.

Basic facts:

Sapphires are created naturally in mines and belong to the corundum mineral family. Multiple colours exist in sapphires such as yellow, blue, pink, grey and green. The red crystal from the corundum family is known as Ruby.

The phrase “Blue sapphire” derives from the Latin words “Aqua” and “Mare”. The meanings are “water” and “sea”.

ALEXANDRITE

In 1830, the first alexandrites were discovered in Russia's Urals. However, there are virtually no high-quality stones available on the global market today. Other countries are assisting. The mineral's most intriguing attribute is that it changes color from green to reddish tones depending on the type of sunlight. This is a stone for the astute. Indeed, it frequently seems black under regular light.

Alexandrite is a form of the mineral chrysoberyl that exhibits color shifts. Chrysoberyl is a beryllium aluminate with the formula BeAl2O4. Alexandrite is the third hardest natural gemstone discovered and ranks 8.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, behind corundum (9) and topaz (8).

HEALING PROPERTIES

Alexandrite is widely regarded for its regenerative properties and is said to aid in self-centering, reaffirming self-esteem, and boosting one's capacity to feel joy and beauty. Additionally, it is known to restore harmony between the manifested physical world and the unmanifest astral or spiritual world. Alexandrite activates the head chakra, granting access to the universe's healing energy and loving care. Alexandrite is reputed to aid in the treatment of bodily disorders. It is highly recommended for patients recovering from surgery or a prolonged sickness, as this stone is considered to promote blood circulation by cleaning the blood and strengthening the blood vessels.

FOR JEWELRY

Due to their scarcity, alexandrites are rarely greater than 5 carats in products. Because the stones are frequently dark in color, they attempt to make their frames as open as possible on all sides. Please keep in mind that the purity of the Ural chrysoberyls with color change is significantly less than that of stones from Tanzania, Brazil, India, and Sri Lanka. It should be noted that the goods appear fantastic with the "sprinkling" of little spherical Brazilian specimens.

STONES IN A SET

If you're looking for a set of alexandrites to wear as earrings and a ring, avoid stones that are larger than 2-3 carats each. If we look at not very huge stones from Brazil, there is a chance to locate something identical in all criteria on the global market. Sri Lanka could possibly receive assistance from other countries. Prepare to pay a premium for the set in comparison to a single piece; the price of a single stone from the set might be 1.5-2 times the price of a stone from the set.

COLLECTOR

For sophisticated collectors, alexandrite is available from the world's major mining countries: Tanzania, Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, and, of course, Russia's Urals. Many international collectors fantasize about acquiring a mineral crystal in the shape of a hexagonal "pawn" from the Urals for their collection. Notably, similar "pawns" have been discovered in Zimbabwe. Additionally, unusual alexandrites carved into cabochon shapes with the appearance of a cat's eye may be of interest.

INVESTOR

Alexandrites are constantly increasing in price as a result of great demand and a scarcity of high-quality cut samples available on the world market. For investment purposes, specimens weighing up to 5 carats and possessing excellent reverse and cleanliness are an excellent choice. It is worthwhile to select alexandrite that is free of visible impurities and fissures. Keep an eye out for the presence of an expert opinion from a recognized laboratory, as this will serve as the sole proof of provenance.

Types of Natural Opal:- Effects, Benefits and Uses

Introduction Coral is a beautiful organic gemstone that is formed from the skeletons of marine polyps. It's available in a variety of colors, but the most popular ones are white and red. Italian and Japanese coral are two of the most well-known types of coral gemstones, but what's the difference between them? Composition Both Italian and Japanese coral are composed of calcium carbonate, which is a combination of limestone and carbon dioxide. However, the chemical composition of Italian coral is slightly different from that of Japanese coral. Italian coral is made up mostly of calcite, while Japanese coral is primarily aragonite. These differences in composition can affect the color and quality of the coral. Color Italian coral is known for its deep, rich red color, while Japanese coral tends to be a lighter shade of red or pink. The difference in color is due to the different chemical composition of the two types of coral. Italian coral contains more iron oxide than Japanese coral, which gives it its distinctive color. Rarity Japanese coral is much rarer than Italian coral. This is because Japanese coral is only found in a few locations in the Pacific Ocean, while Italian coral is found in the Mediterranean Sea. Japanese coral is also more difficult to harvest, which makes it even more valuable. Price Due to its rarity, Japanese coral is much more expensive than Italian coral. The price of coral can vary depending on the size, color, and quality of the gemstone, but in general, Japanese coral can be up to ten times more expensive than Italian coral. Uses Both Italian and Japanese coral are used in jewelry, but they are also used in traditional medicine. Coral is believed to have healing properties and is often used to treat a variety of ailments, including asthma, arthritis, and digestive problems. Durability Coral is a relatively soft gemstone, with a hardness of 3 to 4 on the Mohs scale. This means that it can be easily scratched or damaged. Italian coral is slightly harder than Japanese coral, which makes it slightly more durable. Conclusion In summary, Italian and Japanese coral are two types of coral gemstones that differ in their chemical composition, color, rarity, price, and durability. Italian coral is more common and affordable, while Japanese coral is rarer and more expensive. Both types of coral are beautiful and have a variety of uses, from jewelry to traditional medicine. When choosing between Italian and Japanese coral, it's important to consider your budget, the color and quality of the gemstone, and the purpose for which you plan to use it.

ETERNAL CIRCLE-9, Baljit Chadha

LEARNT BASICS OF ART IN JAPANFROM RENOUNED ARTIST MS OHTA MIYOKO.The Eternal Circle .Circle is an old symbol. The earliest humans looked up the sky and found the orb of fire giving them light and warmth. Sun for them was a mystical power, a god. They saw its movement from morning in the east and to the west in the evening. Next day again it came up in the sky. They regarded it as an omnipresent power that repeated its emergence with cyclical regularity. There was no beginning or end to the sun for them. It was the sun that allowed their imagination to look in the circular form endlessness, infinity. Thus quite early circle became a symbol of completeness, eternity and also rejuvenation. Circle also denoted the Nature. They found seasons changing and then again re-emerging with regularity. The seasons became the circle of Nature. In winter all greenery vanished and then when Spring came life stated flourishing once again. The great Mohenjo daro-Harrappan civilization had a script as yet un-deciphered. They often had a symbol of a circle with six spokes inset. What it represented is not known. From prehistory to history circle gained greater importance and came to symbolise the cycle of birth and death and also the soul�s eternity. In the rainbow spectrum of Indian philosophy, religion and culture, circle has been used as a varied symbol. The cycle of birth and rebirth is broken only through moksha. King Ashok propagated Buddha�s path to enlightenment through Dharm Chakra�a wheel with eight spokes of a chariot. I feel the wheel was invented with inspiration from sun or moon. Hindu philosophy talks about chakras. It is believed that there are seven chakras or source of light located within the subtle body. The Tantra cult uses the concept of chakras for awakening kundalini. The chakras were illustrated with images and this lead to the development of tantric art. Ajit Mukherjee in his seminal book The Art of Tantra helped to create in early sixties a movement of tantric art in India. But it did not last very long being bound by a strict and regulated expression as per dictates of Tantra iconography. Baljit Chadha is an artist with deep roots in Asian cultural traditions which includes India and especially Japan. Long years spent in Japan drew his creative interest to Japanese style painting. With great felicity he paints Nature and flowers. That is but only one aspect of his creative forays. Here I am concerned with his spiritual focus on the circle as a means of artistic expression. To paint with spiritual symbolism requires an inner search, equanimity, and a feel for the timeless. Paintings without this kind of attitude will not carry the dynamics of the spiritual; they will be like empty shells. Baljit paints with the inner dynamics. His present works are an effort to capture the metaphysical. His creativity unfolds through the circle in a kind of inner automatism. You have to understand his oeuvre in the context of his personal search for righteousness. I wish to bring to your notice the spiritual umbilical of his personal search. It is pertinent to know the Indian philosophy of life and Beyond. In Sikhism karma or kirat is seen as the vehicle to free us from the cycle of birth and death and to have mukti. One has to free oneself from pride, lust, anger, greed, self-centricity, maya and moh (attachment) and to devote life to sewa�service to mankind. Bhagavad Gita 2.27 also says, "One who has taken his birth is sure to die, and after death one is sure to take birth again. Therefore, in the unavoidable discharge of your duty, you should not lament." Thus cycle of life, death and rebirth are essential parts of thought process in India. Baljit�s paintings have varied moments of inspiration. In some works the circle is a serene quiet peaceful disc emitting soft tones and leading you to a feeling of inner joy. This you find in his work 2380. This work has a churning of the inner space and a rotation suggesting the cycle of the world or universe. The core of the painting appears to be a mystical kernel beyond human mind and intellect. In yet another work there are concentric circles and the core is a black bindu. Here the circles appear to symbolise the simultaneous working of different cycles of worldly activities and attachments. You get out of one circle and you are caught in another and so on ad infintum. (2486). You must notice the use of free moody lines that cross the circles and daubs of congealed colour. Baljit use this inner automatism where he does not seem to guide his hand or brush consciously. A lurking desire to be free of the material, bodily, intellectual and to allow the magic of anhad to take over is what I see in his use of these Zen like child�s scribbles. Baljit has used these idiosyncratic free floating lines in most of his works. These lines seem at times to �obstruct� your view of the pure circle. The eternal spiritual that the circle represents is often made hazy by our infatuation with the maya. At other times he uses tumbling interacting images in embellished gold reminding of the drama of life that has its own breathtaking charm. In yet another painting there is a linear window-like overlay through which you see the circle of the infinite. Here you become aware of the beauty of the spiritual that shines in cosmic blue colour (2376). Spiral is another important symbol that is our journey to a higher reality of being. Sometimes the luminescent circle has a spiral running over it�the desire to reach the ananata through our soaring spirit (2471, 2476). The subconscious doodles that are used sometimes have a rhythm that seems to evoke the universe and the movement of stellar constellations. Many painting have a centre or a kernel of the circle that seems to enter infinity and mystical Beyond. Observe that the centre of the circles is always full of light to make you think of the spiritual aura and awe of unknown. Baljit has his spiritual awakening in the world and in the flowers that he so lovingly paints. On an art related visit to Singapore I found the overflowing joy that he felt while visiting the botanical garden with different exotic flowers in bloom. This you see in the beautiful painting of an ethereal blooming blue flower. He paints the golden yellow stigma of the plant reminding you of the mystical centre in the circle. The flower opens with immense energy straight in your face, it mesmerizes you, holds you in its clasp and if you focus long on its centre you are drawn in it. In a different way his painting reminds me of Van Gogh�s intense sunflowers that emit a spiritual intensity. You find in the world what you want to see in it and not what it has. Baljit finds what he is looking for in the circular forms�be it a round flower, sun, or the eternal soul or the cycle of life death and rebirth or the planets and stars in the universe. Baljit looks at the eternal drama of the universe through his symbolic circle. I may here quote from a poem from the great Indian saint and poet Kabir that is also apt for Baljit�s art� I have known in my body the sport of the universe: I have escaped from the error of this world. The inward and the outward are become as one sky, the Infinite and the finite are united: I am drunken with the sight of this All! This Light of Thine fulfils the universe: the lamp of love that burns on the salver of knowledge. Kab�r says: "There error cannot enter, and the conflict of life and death is felt no more." Viktor Vijay KumarI LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY. I TAKEPHOTOGRAPHS OF FLOWERS AND CONVERT THEM IN TO MY PAINTINGS I have created a new technique called (FLOAT ON COLORS) .Using mix media on paper. I evolved a style of art that has minimal gap in feeling and expression. Rapidity and quickness of expression in my art comes from the well of inner spirituality. My art is not planned, thought-out and cerebral it is based on spontaneity. Abstract Expressionism is a wider term and my art follows it in variegated dimensions. My journey in art continued and I experiment with different painting instruments and techniques. My dependence on brushwork is rather limited. I frequently and freely use spatulas, wooden sticks, masking, and sand-mix, push bottles and what comes handy in the moment. I use acrylic with mix media. I have developed acrylic based glazes that were possible earlier only with oil paints. The glazes impart a charm similar to enamel glazes. My art journey finds depth and width in continuous experimentation, forays into the unknown and choosing challenging metaphors of expression. Where my art journey will take me next I leave to higher forces . I did an installation (Wall of Divine flowers) with 12000 painting on 12-12-12-12hrs-12mnts-12sec at Zorba in New Delhi and CREATED A WORLD RECORD The exhibition with the most paintings of flowers in the world www.baljit-chadha.artistwebsites.com http://www.youtube.com/edit?ns=1&video_id=fCTt1B51fJA http://www.1wra.org/index.php/Worldrecord/detail/id/1241 This certificate is given by WORLD RECORD ASSOCIATION donated entire collection to Smile Foundation New Delhi, for a girl child education. original colors may wary little from photographs
