Profound Spiritual Insights and Artistic Mastery in Sucharita Kansal's book of paintings "Shiv Sutra - Visualised"

May 06, 2024

In "Shiv Sutra - Visualised," Sucharita Kansal’ paintings brilliantly merges ancient spiritual wisdom from the rich traditions of Hindu philosophy with contemporary artistic expression, creating a deeply moving visual journey through the teachings of Kashmir Shaivism. Her work reflects a profound understanding of spirituality as the essence of existence—a central theme in Hindu philosophy, stretching from the ancient Vedas to modern-day seekers of inner peace.

This unique book offers a distinctive approach, with each painting thoughtfully mapped to a Sutra or Shloka from the Shiv Sutra, facilitating a deeper understanding and connection to these ancient texts. Each painting explore profound themes such as “Jagrat, Swapna Aabhog” where states of waking, dreaming, sleep sublimate into blissful rapture and "Nartaka Atma Rangontaratma", the inner consciousness of a dancer, using vibrant symbolism to illustrate the soul's journey toward supreme consciousness.

Her work acts as a bridge between the ancient and the contemporary, appealing not only to lovers of Hindu art but to anyone in pursuit of deeper self-awareness and understanding. Early reviewers have been deeply touched by Kansal's work, describing the experience as a blessing and likening the encounter with her art to a spiritual revelation that bypasses the need for traditional worship.
