Aham Brahmasmi “I am Brahman” Talon Abraxas

Mantra

The vessel in which these offerings are placed is Brahman, and so, too, is the gheeoffered therein. Brahman is both the sacrificial Fire and he who makes the sacrifice, and to Brahman he will attain whose mind is fixed on the Brahman by the performance of the rites which lead to Brahman. Then, opening the eyes, and inwardly and with all his power making japa with the Mula-mantra, the worshipper should offer the japa to Brahman and then recite the hymn that follows and the Kavacha-mantra. Hear, O Maheshvari! the hymn to Brahman, the Supreme Spirit, by the hearing whereof the disciple becomes one with the Brahman.

Stotra

Ong! I bow to Thee, the eternal Refuge of all: I bow to Thee, the pure Intelligence manifested in the universe. I bow to Thee Who in His essence is One and Who grants liberation. I bow to Thee, the great, all-pervading attributeless One. Thou art the only Refuge and Object of adoration. The whole universe is the appearance of Thee Who art its Cause. Thou alone art Creator, Preserver, Destroyer of the world. Thou art the sole immutable Supreme, Who art neither this nor that. Dread of the dreadful, Terror of the terrible. Refuge of all beings, Purificator of all purificators. Thou alone rulest the high-placed ones, Supreme over the supreme, Protector of the Protectors. O Supreme Lord in Whom all things are, yet Unmanifest in all, Imperceptible by the senses, yet the very truth. Incomprehensible, Imperishable, All-pervading hidden Essence. Lord and Light of the Universe! save us from harm. On that One alone we meditate, that One alone we in mind worship, To that One alone the Witness of the Universe we bow. Refuge we seek with the One Who is our sole Eternal Support, The Self-existent Lord, the Vessel of safety in the ocean of being. This is the five-jewelled hymn to the Supreme Soul.

He who pure in mind and body recites this hymn is united with the Brahman. It should be said daily in the evening, and particularly on the day of the Moon. The wise man should read and explain it to such of his kinsmen as believe in Brahman. I have spoken to You, O Devi! of the five-jewelled hymn, O Graceful One! listen now to the jagan-mangala Mantra of the amulet, by the wearing and reading whereof one becomes a knower of the Brahman.

The Divine Creation: A Journey Through Mixed Art Techniques

Art can be a profound expression of spirituality and creativity, and this painting of Lord Shiva is no exception. Combining modern techniques and traditional themes, this piece aims to capture the essence of divinity, power, and tranquility. Here, I'll take you through the artistic process behind this vibrant depiction of Shiva, including the materials, methods, and inspiration that brought it to life.

Inspiration Behind the Painting

Lord Shiva, the embodiment of cosmic energy and balance, is a figure that resonates deeply with mythology and spirituality. In this painting, I wanted to showcase Shiva’s meditative yet powerful aura while incorporating elements like the flowing Ganga, the crescent moon, and the sacred Sanskrit verses:

Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra: ॥ महामृत्युंजय मंत्र ॥

Shiv Tandav Stotra

Hanuman Chalisa

The use of Sanskrit text not only elevates the artwork's spiritual dimension but also connects viewers to the rich heritage of Indian mythology.

Materials Used

This artwork is a blend of several artistic mediums, meticulously chosen to add depth, texture, and vibrancy:

Canvas: A high-quality stretched canvas provided the perfect base for the painting.

Oil Paints: For the vibrant colors that bring life to Shiva’s form and the cosmic elements.

Charcoal: Used for adding shadows, depth, and dramatic contrasts.

Palette Knives: To create textured strokes that give a raw, energetic feel.

Brushes: For fine details, particularly in the Sanskrit text and intricate elements like the crescent moon and Shiva’s ornaments.

Dotted Sketch Pens: These were used to add patterns and details, enhancing the spiritual symbolism.

Techniques Employed

Knife Painting The base layer of the painting was created using knife painting techniques. This method involves applying thick layers of oil paint directly onto the canvas with palette knives, creating bold, textured strokes. It was especially effective in portraying the dynamic energy of Shiva's cosmic presence.

Charcoal Accents Charcoal was used to add depth and contrast. For example, shadows around Shiva’s figure and details in his flowing hair were rendered with soft charcoal strokes, blending seamlessly with the textured background.

Brushwork for Details Brushes were instrumental in rendering delicate elements such as the crescent moon, Shiva’s third eye, and the Sanskrit verses. The strokes were deliberate and precise, ensuring that every detail stood out without overwhelming the overall composition.

Dotted Sketch Technique To add diversity and intricate detail, I used a dotted sketching approach for specific areas, such as the patterns in the cosmic background and the ornaments. This technique provided a modern artistic touch while maintaining the spiritual tone.

Color Palette

The color palette for this artwork was chosen to evoke emotions of serenity and power:

Blues and Whites: Representing tranquility, divinity, and the flowing Ganga.

Gold and Orange: For cosmic energy and enlightenment.

Black and Gray: To emphasize depth and the mysterious aura of Shiva.

Red: A subtle touch of red symbolized the fiery energy of Tandav.

Sanskrit Text Integration

The sacred Sanskrit verses were integrated as part of the painting itself, forming a visual narrative that connects the viewer with Shiva’s divine essence. The text was handwritten with fine brushes and dotted pens to ensure clarity and precision.

Challenges and Reflections

Creating this painting was a deeply spiritual experience but also a technical challenge. The integration of different materials and techniques required patience and experimentation. Balancing the vibrancy of oil paints with the subtlety of charcoal and dotted sketches was particularly demanding. However, the result was a dynamic piece that beautifully blends tradition with contemporary art styles.

Conclusion

This painting of Lord Shiva is more than just art—it’s a celebration of divinity, culture, and creativity. The use of mixed techniques like knife painting, charcoal accents, and dotted sketches adds a unique texture and depth that enhances its spiritual essence.

Whether you view this artwork as a devotional piece or a modern artistic creation, it aims to inspire awe and reflection. It’s a reminder of Shiva’s timeless power and the boundless potential of art to connect us to the divine.

Ardhanarishvara Talon Abraxas Ardhanarishvara - the Symbolic Unity of Nature and Knowledge

The Spiritual Symbolism The concept of Ardhanarishvara indicates that "totality lies beyond duality" and the essentially equal nature of both the masculine and feminine energies. It talks of both being part of the Supreme Being, being two equal parts, making the whole.

"Champeya Gaurardha Shareerakayai Karpoora Gaurardha Shareerakaya

Dhammillakayai Cha Jataadharaya Namah Shivayai Cha Namah Shivaya"

This is the very first quatrain of the 9-quatrain Ardhanari Nateshwara Stotra. The meaning of this verse is as follows:

"Salutations to Shivaa, who has a jasmine-colored, fair half-form and who has long and beautiful curly locks

Salutations to Shiva, who has camphor colored half-form and who has matted tresses"
