RAAG DEVGANDHARI

Devgandhari is an ancient raag…
It is ideally performed in the morning hours.

Guru Ram Das Ji:

Ang 527: says…

I wander here and there, bewildered like a mad person….looking for my Lord.
And later… Now exhausted I have come and surrendered to You…seeking Your sanctuary.

Let me share my thoughts on this painting…
For this one…. I was guided by the exhausting effort…looking for The Lord.
This painting is a metaphor for the tremendous effort that the MIND must undertake in the journey to the Guru.

To show this in physical terms……like going past the trees in the foreground, through the forest, over the hills, across the river, and up the mountains with steeply rising peaks…
This exhausting physical effort is a metaphor for the arduous and challenging journey that the MIND must undertake in search for The Lord.

The source of the light is on the other side of the mountain….suggesting that the effort has to be made first. …..And then with Guru’s grace ….be blessed with Divine light.
