THE KRISHNA SERIES - JOURNEY UNLOCKED



It was on a hectic day in my college working towards preparing notes, checking on students designs, assigning test dates,question papers:p I got a call from my friend.
I barely could concentrate on her call while i heard some words like exhibition..Be ready!
After a deep long call along with our casual talks,i realized I had just 15 days to work on for a upcoming exhibition to be held for a kindergarten annual day function. 
She wanted me to do some products on Lord Krishna and the products would be a part of her booksale.
With the limited time,I could just think of  making something interesting and creative with variety of options to choose from.
Today, am gonna blog about two of those collection.


1)THE GOVINDA - FRIDGE MAGNET

These are made with thin wooden strips symbolizing the namam on lord Vishnu's forehead.
The theme was blue with golden finish, completely handpainted and varnished with the chant "HARE KRSNA"at the bottom.
It could also be customized to key hanger and flexible enough to be used however one wants to.





 2) RADHA AND KRISHNA




This dreamy Radha lost in the enchanting  love of Krishna was however manifested in the artifact.
This was completely handpainted on the wooden strips which can be kept anywhere that your heart desires and am sure, the blessings will shower upon wherever it is.




The sides were also painted according to the colourful warm theme, and to your surprise you can find a quote best suited to make your day blissful.
Stay tuned on the coming week for the rest of the Krishna series.
Love and lights to all!!!

FLY YOUR SENSITIVE WINGS


Yes you read it right, "SENSITIVE WINGS".
Wondering if u had come to the wrong site article!!!?
Today's article is not exclusive for sensitive people or the so called termed "HIGHLY SENSITIVE people."Its about what the world needs to heal itself!
If u wonder what is a" highly sensitive " term ,you can browse up on the internet and will find thousands of research papers and bundles of information.
And yes.. dont puzzle your minds with these  terms, as today's article is completely an attempt to show you the other perspective of your inner self  no matter if your sensitive or medium sensitive or completely a practical buddy.

"SENSITIVITY" is not a term, its a "EXPERIENCE "that you have to feel from inside.
Its not a word to fear about or even you might have said someone to stop being sensitive.
But there is a chance to experience god beyond all the negative assumptions of being sensitive.
As energy flows into where your thought leads to, the same way sensitivity needs to be channelized onto the right direction.
On a simple note,

On a scale of 1 to 10 how much sensitive are you?
Oops..stop counting the ones where you got bullied and cried, instances where you got hurt almost everyday by a friend etc
Yes these do count on, but the sensitivity what am talking about is different.
Take a look at the quote by the American novelist and recipient of Pulitzer and Nobel prize expressing on what it means to be a highly sensitive person.

"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create—so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating."




Sensitivity is Creativity
Most of the artists, poets ,musicians ,actors are said to be sensitive people.
One common platform that connects all of them is sensitivity,
Sensitivity to their character,sensitivity to the musical notes, sensitivity to the colours etc
But don't worry if you aren't one of them.
Even a person who has a job of looking at his computer screen all day long would be creative, the one working as a beautician would also be creative,the small kiddo in your neighbour's house would also be a creative Dexter..who knows!!!
The fact is its all inside us,without any partiality.
Sensitivity ignites the creative process inside us.
Use your sensitivity to lighten up your inner world and in the meantime that lightens up your life.
What do u feel when u see this picture?
Dont say this is a beach..and at the far you can see some mountains and a sunset..:/
The moment you see this picture, it feels refreshing and peaceful but there is more beyond it.
Put your sensitive nerves to work and try it out!!!
An artist starts to mix his/her colours on the palette sensitized by the varied colours and hues and tones,texture of the sand, sizzling waves and the beautiful shades of orange shown by the nature.
A poet starts to write metaphors, rhyming words on his/ her  diary,
A small kid tries to make his hands orange keeping it buried under the waves sensitized by the sunset's magic.
We need  sensitivity to feel and express god's creation through ourselves.
Did you just say, I wanna be there right now!
This is sensitivity!!!
Yes you cant go in search of the exact location,but you have the same frequency around you,your neighbourhood,your city and everywhere and inside you.
It will still make you feel joyful amidst a huge concrete jungle, still make your  hopes high and destiny joyful even when your bound by the stress around you, still make u happy identifying a butterfly amidst a huge traffic jam in simpler words.
If you are stressful, pickup your sensitive wings and walk through the busy streets .You will find happiness along the homeless kid's face with his companion street dog, the beautiful smiling roses waving at you along the nursery shop, the wonderful shades of blue shimmering on  a unknown bird which u try to figure out, ringing of bells at the small temple along with the church bells and mosque prayers, the smiling baby on her mother's lap feeling millions of joy in her mother's eyes and not the least the vendor who sells posters of hope and happiness all the day carrying his hopes high that it would be sold at the end of the day.
Does it seem so long..yes i know,at the end of this you had witnessed God's energy through all of them at no cost.
Just go to the  nook of your room where sunlight fills up every morning with your cup of coffee or just step out to your balcony where the plant kingdom welcomes you!!
Experience your sensitivity whatever scale you are!!!
The world needs sensitivity to heal its wounds.
Love and lights to all !!!
Fly your wings high up!!!
