French Filmmaker, Aurelia Mengin’s independent film that was part of the Kolkata International Film Festival, among many others, is slated to be shown on the Day 1 of the 23rd Edition of Independent Days International Film Fest at Karlsruhe, Germany as part of European Festivals Association. The film itself is a self-reflecting narrative journey where the female protagonist on a quest to discover her past, heals it, by knowing the truth- a film that introduces magic, and, proportion to the effect of creating a suspended sense of enigma only to be resolved through knowing, and, awareness. Today, dreams, unconsciousness, and, the subliminal mind and its interfaces, require a new aesthetic understanding, a post-Newtonian sense of perception, a quantum way of knowing, because we understand that causality itself with space-time are connected like interconnected network of points which apparently don’t show up in our everyday life, but, hides behind the contours of reality exactly where it should be or is right now. So, characters like the healer, the protagonist (Rosy), her memories, and, the overlapping of the past, present and the possibilities of the future (an extension into the memories of future watchers of the cinema) are not independent points, detached from each other, rather different modes of perception apparently, working independently, but, tied, deeply with, or, interlocked with one awareness projecting several subjects into the narrative aesthetics of life and cinema, to the point, where distinction is simultaneously maintained and transcended.
As a self-taught Reunionese Filmmaker, Aurelia Mengin’s work blends the traditional folk identity of the island and the contemporary art scene of Paris, a la Paul Gauguin, and, is deeply influenced by surrealist art and its overlapping with Jungian Archetypes of the Unconscious – a collective unconscious, thus, resonates with her work, embracing both the roots of culture, the birth of cinema, its history, and, that of modern art, and, fashion, creating a new palimpsest which is both “enfolding, and, unfolding” to use Physicist David Bohm’s words, in a world where the evolution of becoming is a a continuous process of creativity, as symbols, images, and, meanings undergo a test of beauty, chaos, the dread, serenity and fidelity.

With a world struggling with post-pandemic recovery, the slow downturns of an economic recession, the ongoing disastrous wars in Europe, Israel and Gaza, with climate change, El Nino taking its full effect with Met Offices sending alarms to most states in India, as the heatwave looms early in a country going into elections in a months time, to decide the mandate of the largest democracy, the ground beneath our feet shaking with tremors in Taiwan, the volcanic ash billowing in sky in Iceland, the only way out it seems, is to look for insight wisdom, and, understanding as contrary to misinformation, distortion of meaning which has plagued our short-sighted individual, and, community life leaving no balance to restore peace, and, sobriety. This is exactly the mission that has inspired Sonia Gomes from Portugal to land in New Delhi, and, travel to Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, she, a student of Vajrayana Buddhism, a Yoga Teacher, with a doctoral degree in Marketing Management & Communications, and, a Masters Degree in Psychology, has been doing relentless work in helping women and children with practical solutions to face every situation or as she often says “learning to work with circumstances”, a lesson she attributes to the famous historical Princess of Zahor, the Indian consort of Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche), who in her life overcame all impediments, though being born a princess, she dedicated her life to emancipate women from the circular trap of samsara by using the powers of awareness only.
In front of Princess Mandarava’s idol, Sonia GomesPrayers and WorshipThe Sanctum Santorum
A place in the hilltop in Mandi, 2890 ft above sea level, which is Sonia Gomes’ destiny, the famous Mata Kuan Rani Temple, or, the ‘Princess of the Well Temple’, made of slate above a deep well, a certain meditative quietness prevails, enhanced by the natural elegance and rupture of the melodious blue-throated barbet, whistling thrush, near the banks of the river Beas, and, maybe, liturgical chants from the temple itself where the beautiful Princess Mandarava’s idol absorbs the prayers of the true aspirants of the Path, the North West Himalayan Rhododendron and Dog Violets, make the place a retreat of the highest awareness.
The implications of Sonia’s mission becomes even more magnified, if we understand the factual narrative of Princess Mandarava, who was born as a prodigious child, replete with spiritual powers of penance and austirity which bear close resemblances with Sakyamuni Buddha’s life, the semiotics of her parents’ dreams, the signs she confronted like sickness, old age and death that finally triggered her resignation of royal aristocratic life in exchange for seeking a path that would lead every being to becoming a Buddha, the awakened one. Another perspective that holds prominence in the Buddhist cannon, is Mandarava’s aspirations that symbolically resonate that with Tara, the goddess who becomes enlightened because she seeks the final liberation immersed in a sea of quietetude. Mandarava’s struggle is that of a woman, relevant even today, it bears the impression and markings of what a woman has to universlly undergo in familiar circumstances if she resolves to seek liberation for herself and for others. It is factually recorded that Princess Mandarava was enlightened the second time, in her past life she was Buddha Pandaravasini, an immortal awareness holder who carries the chalice of Nirvana into next birth only to use the opportunity to create a model for all aspirants, especially women seeking enlightenment. In her present avatar as Princess Mandarava, where we put our focus into, she ordained by the great Buddhist teacher Santaraksita, who also hailed from Mandi, meets Padmasambhava, the Lotus Born, also known as the second Buddha, undergoes rigorous training at Maratika cave in Nepal, post the Rewalsar lake event, and, finally achieves the great rainbow body or Vajrakaya (the three in one – nirmanakarya, sambhagokaya and dharmakaya), – these acts propels her immense dedication to practice as means to achieve the final goal of liberation. She, a student of Padmasambhava, also, a teacher in her own right, is the manifestation of grace (anugraha in Sanskrit) which is required for those who are sincere seekers of the Path. As the supreme “head of one hundred thousand dakinis” (dakinis are polysemous female figures, sometimes referred as goddess or a woman practitioner in esoteric tantric literature), Princess Mandarava, is the main consort of Padmasambhava, the India counterpart of Yeshe Tsogyal, and her role as wisdom dakini has true significance that enhances her nature as heroine who sought wisdom to liberate women.
Mandarava’s birth in Mandi, in Himachal Pradesh is just not a coincidence, after all the great sacred temples of Bhootnath, Trilokinath and others, dedicated to Lord Shiva, gave the place the status of being known as the Varanasi of the Hills or Chota Kashi, and, a true seeker who chooses like Buddha her parentage, must have been blessed by the Lord himself on her mission to enlightenment. Amidst the wildness of the butterfly bush, wild primula, and the barn swallow’s fading songs over a scarlet sunset in the clear skies of the Himalayan town, one would think that the morning and evening prayers are the only true source of sustenance in world of impermanence and the menacing chaos.

If someone is buying fruits and butter lamps, and, incense to be used for worship at the Mata Kuan Rani temple, then the Mandi market is where one must look for. In fact, the name mandi in Hindi translates to a marketplace, where the community meets to buy and sell, the ancient Sanskrit root word is “mandaptika”, an open hall or shed, it is not unusual if the aspirant is followed by a dog from the mandi market uphill to the temple, a sign of greater things to come, a gentle reminder of the famous oldest Zen Koan: Does a dog have a Buddha nature or not? In the silence of the distant mountains, the leaves among the trees whispered one ideograph- “Mu”, and, the prayers for liberation are set in the wheels of time.

Interview with French Filmmaker Aurelia MenginAurelia Mengin at French Premiere of her film Scarlet Blue, Paris, March, 2024Scarlet Blue Team
French Filmmaker, Aurelia Mengin talks about her vision about aesthetics of new cinema that has blend of surreal art, mysticism, boredom and healing to rediscover the identity of a reality that the camera seeks to narrate creating meta-discourses within the boundaries of a localised space. Her influence ranging from Luis Bunuel, Salvador Dali to Jean-luc-Godard, the impact of art scenes, their corresponding movements, albeit symbolic, in poetry, photography and cinema, the semiotics of a synthesis between the Parisian life and the quaint tropical French Reunion, where she grew up as a child, with its queer talismanic beliefs, idiosyncrasies, and, almost an irrational randomness so peculiar to its originality, which in a way intersects with the conformal fashionable chic of the Parisian Salons, is a thread that she explores in a language of feminine intuition, asking questions or deconstructing paradigms a la Jacques Derrida, is a long lineage that puts the ideals of freedom and promise, like post-impressionist Paul Gauguin experienced in the late nineteenth century among the Tahitian in French Polynesia. In Aurelia’s own words surreal art deeply impacted her visualisation narratives, themes and the tonality of her cinema, her father, late Vincent Mengin-Lecreulx, who was one of her biggest inspiration, the reason why she ran after the camera, was himself a surreal painter who left Paris and lived in the Reunion to find a dream that may be discontinuous amidst the serial circularity of a existential time.

Sarbari Roy Chowdhury, the great sculptor whose works married the academic sensibility and realism of classical eastern or oriental art forms , with the modern abstraction and cubism of the west, whose interest in classical music poured directly into his works, as if the stone, clay or wood are entangled with the frequencies of music, not just as a idea or thought but supra-physically in a deeper sense, an introspection which is the fundamental bedrock of the creative artistic process, for a musician, painter or poet, in his his own words resembles a process of transformation of pain into ecstasy, a superconscient that hibernated in the depths of the human subconscious, in his own words “an artist must live on the edge of that anguish at all times to render it in his creation”, a crowning line that very much became the sustainable ethos of this esteemed music festival as a tribute to his birth anniversary. Musician from everywhere, new and old, well established and those who are looking to make their mark are all welcome, in a platform where artists manage the program, the promotion, the funds, and, almost everything required to host such an event where famous musicians like Pandit Krishna Bhatt, Pandit Abhijit Banerjee Abhik Mukherjee, David Trasoff, Ehren Hansen were the sharing the stage with other local musicians and artists. “All in such a short notice, the Durga Bari, a historical place is where musicians can collaborate, express themselves, a camaraderie which my father was so enthused about, a tradition I and my brother, trying live up to, with helping hands from various friends and artists, in India and abroad” said his son, Sougata Roy Chowdhury, himself an established sarid player. On display were rare photographs taken at Sarbari Roy Chowdhury’s residence of musicians including Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Siddheswari Devi, Mallikarjun Mansur and many other legendary musicians.
With famous Sitarist Abhik Mukherjee, New YorkSRC with Ravi Shankar at his studio
Sarbari Roy Chowdhury’s interest in music and his friendship with musicians is uncompromisingly a definitive feature of his artistic works which he says the visual forms of music embedded in stone and clay – the sculpturliness of music which is often not understood at the surface level of things as they are. A subjective awareness, a flash of spiritual insight, was common among all legendary musicians in India, whom he adored, it was also prevalent among, Western artists, like Rodin (The Thinking Man), Giacometti and Henry Moore and others. In fact, Florence, the city of artists, and art, became the meeting point of Sarbari Roy Chowdhury, Henri Moore and Giacometti in 1962.
To encapsulate this music festival, we have to turn back again to his words where he describes the pain associated with creation which he strived to express and preserve in his work- “pain like music, touches the soul and the heart and transforms an intellectual perception into an experience” – words that resonate with Sri Dilip Kumar Roy conversations with Romain Rolland in the early 20th century at Lucerne, where Rolland said that an artist must suffer like a Christ figure, that only differentiates from mundane lives, Tolstoy, Rembrandt, Beethoven are great examples of it.
Gondola, 2023/Colour/85 mins/German directed by Veit Helmer German Director Veit Helmer Press Conference on German Film Gondola German Director Veit Helmer with his child and JRC
Screened at the Tokyo Film Festival, German Film “Gondola” directed by Veit Helmer is very much the talking point at the prestigious Kolkata International Film Festival as an entry in the International Competition: Innovation in Moving Images. The film explores the relationship between two cable car operators, who meet each other midway as the two gondolas cross every half an hour. Nino and Eva are the central characters, their emotions of seeing each other as their gondolas cross, is the faucet of emotional sensibility amidst the beautiful picturesque setting of Georgian hills and valleys. There’s no dialogue in the movie, only the setting and the musical landscape adding to the drama as it unfolds, Helmet drawing upon is childhood remembrance of watching silent era films like that of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. A film where silence sells the growing up of a relationship, is emotionally moving and cinematically dynamic; Helmer, with his extraordinary talent of filmmaking which he started at the age of 14 in Frankfurt, has excelled in creating poise and movement as the gondolas of Eva and Nino cross each other midway connecting the hills with the small town in the valley.
Velmer studied film direction at Munich Film School and became famous with his cutting-edge short films like Surprise, shown at the Cannes Film Festival and Tour Eiffel, presented at the Venice Film Festival. His first feature film Tuvalu (1999), starring Denis Levant, was invited to 62 festivals, including San Sebastian and Berlin. He has collaborated with famous artists, like actor Udo Kier on Gate to Heaven (2003), composer Goran Bregovic for Baikonur (2010) and actress Paz Vega for The Bra.

Aurelia Mengin French Filmmaker at KIFF 23 with JRC Aurelia Mengin and her cinema of phantastik French Filmmaker Aurelia Mengin’s Film Blue Scarlet at KIFF 2023
In Conversation with French Film Director Aurelia Mengin at KIFF 2023 part 1
Interview Part 2
French filmaker Aurelia Mengin’s movie Scarlet Blue is screened in the international section, a movie 🎥 that takes out a hidden reality within the mundane and re-unfolds the narrative in a dramatic way. To understand and fully appreciate the film, we have to go back to a major event in 2022, when French Physicist Alain Aspect was given Noble Prize in Physics for his pioneering research in areas of quantum physics (quantum technology), a historical moment which brought the scientific community much closer to the daily weirdness of existence where synchronicities, paranormal and psychological aspects are probed with a scientific rigour and with a touch of creative intuition. So, gone are the days when events like clairvoyance or distant healing or past life regression are treated as anomalies or spooky and kept aside for lack of understanding. The understanding of quantum physics directly proves that minds can communicate faster than light with thought-waves which have both dual nature (wave/particle) and reality is not classical in the sense we perceive it. Now a whole new mystical world and its corresponding events are within our grasp of scientific understanding, no more a taboo or magic. While speaking Aurelia Mengin, the filmmaker, she made it specific that her films are about the phantastik which is a broader genre and cultivated with passion over the ages. Scarlet Blue, the film has protagonist who suffers from mental depression and schizophrenia, and, visits a healer who knows hipnosis to cure patients. We are already in the strange world of quantum entanglement, parapsychology. The protagonist comes to know after going through several sessions that her own mother has kept away some secret from her, a truth she needs to understand. While speaking with Aurelia Mengin, about the movie and her interests, it came out that she was fascinated herself by strange processes of healing that exists in French Reunion islands in the Indian Ocean like Madagascar and others. The practice is traditional and sometimes, some liquid is given to patients to heal, or, clear some blockage in the energy bodies, perhaps. Her film Adam and Even which will be shown on 9th Dec, 2023 at Alliance Francise du Bengale, is one such movie that brings a new evocative symbolic style of diving into reality, strangeness added to beauty. Her 2018 film, Fornacis won the first prize in Girona Film Festival, and, she was motivated to start her own festival titled ‘Even not Fear’, which is now one of top ten festivals on film in Europe, a significant achievement by Aurelia, who was her vibrant best in the festival, looked like some character from the beautiful strange world; her father who lived in Paris and also in the islands, probably let her experience both Champs-Élysées lifestyle, and, the quaint faroff flora fauna of the islands where she grew up, with its strange practises and charming beauty bordering on the esoteric, hidden corners of mind and reality. “To grow, one has to come out from their comfort zone and get exposed to different traditions, folk and culture, to be one filmmaker who could tell new narratives in a new style, I have always followed my passion and intuition, and, here I am learning all the time”. She was very engaging in her talk and open with her ideas and influences. I am very fortunate to interact with her, and, hope to play some future role in her own festival. A video interview will be shared soon.
Being-Awareness is Param Shiva, it’s undifferentiated from its energy or Shakti – the Para Shakti in its unmanifest reality is pure consciousness without any trace of gender because dissolutions of forms and space time has taken place. The maiden is Tripura Sundari, Lalita, the moon is associated with it, she is the Sri Yantra – the genesis of cosmic evolutionary manifestation in its interdimensional geometric formation (hyperspace quantum optics) The Unicorn is the symbol of the psyche, the pure mind, untainted, therefore, reflects the Atman/Brahman (reverse engineering). The Unicorn is not a mythical creature, there exists these creatures in hyperdimensional mode, they were on earth in the past, the Renaissance paintings embody them, and, the origins in Haarrapa seals are evidential archeological evidence of it, they are not just poetic metaphor for the whole mind, but, it can be deciphered that way.

“Owing to ignorance of the rope, the rope appears to be a snake; owing to ignorance of the self the transient state arises of the individualized, limited, phenomenal aspect of the self.” – Guru Nanak
Guru Nanak, JRC, 2023
From Guru Nanak to Victor Hugo: It may sound strange, but, I assure it is not. Art from the unconscious is deeply symbolical and it’s connected with our own process of Self-Enquiry. The process streams with consciousness, reflected consciousness, once the mirror is polished then IT shines through and makes experience possible. From duality to non-duality and back to the marketplace (turia state or Zen’s last state in Oxherding plates), the quest is possible if there’s “Ishwarah Anugraha” (citation Guru Gita 1st sloka) – without the grace, it’s not possible simply by effort 🙏.
Cosmic Charlie, art music rendition, JRC (original Grateful Dead song)
We are so much obsessed with Victor Hugo, the writer, the poet, the scathing social injustice author of the classic Les Miserables (1862), that, we have overlooked a great fact, which is nonetheless, cited by none other than Andre Breton as automatic drawing. Hugo’s intuitive experimentation in art is a secret that needs to be well acclaimed by people, he produced almost 4000 drawings, most of them not meant to be shown in public. Automatic writing or drawing – which the surrealists drawn upon in their work, is all about using the hand to do what it wants to rather than preemptive cognitive decisions that govern our thinking process. Like Hugo didn’t know what he would do on a Friday evening with a roll of paper and ink blots. ….yes, he cared not to know, in a Zen way, one shouldn’t let the right arm know the release time/moment of the shooting of the arrow. Difficult, but, can be done…there are many examples of that all over and specially in spritual poetry or psychic art. Also same in music by the way…..I don’t think Bob Dylan knows exactly where he would put an end to his lyrics, he has a pattern for the verse but not every word is consciously chosen.
Re-Imaging Victor Hugo Landscape, JRC, 2023
Ink and a quill Both the nib and feather Far away your setting sun, the Other You may choose to run beyond the horizon And end up near your favourite apple tree…. (Something like this…!)
What is a free flowing communication that doesn’t get bogged down by preset interference pattern? That’s in reality was part of 19th Century spiritualism – Breton already said that Hugo was the forerunner of Surrealism, he was playing with chance any allowing it to evoke unforseen forces responding to the free-flowing communication that was part of nineteenth-century Spiritualism. Hugo attended séances during his exile, and actively kept a diary of dreams.
Then we have a dream world both in waking state and in dream state along with deep sleep mode. The waking dream seems apparently real, the dream state unreal, that’s our observation, and, we almost have no query about deep sleep mode. Well it’s time to ssk Wahi Guru !!!! Yes, Today….(3 interconnected words and I won’t say more Guru-Govind-Granth) and there is only non-dual consciousness – it doesn’t need to pervade any space time like an incense stick….because fundamentally matter energy and space time are all in it…..
What a beautiful day!

What is artistic resonance? When the energy bodies vibrate with the ultimate cosmic frequency, when poise is reached amidst chaos, but, the transcendence happens by respecting the mutual negation of order/disorder within a framework of beauty which which is implicit in the design of being-awareness or existence itself. – JRC

The Chatpuja recently concluded started from the Times of Mahabharata, it’s the ocassion of paying obeisance to Surya-Narayana for fecundity on 🌎 the planet. Both at sunrise and at sunset, the worship includes lighting diyas near river banks with chanting of mantras and other simple rituals. It’s a way of ensuring equanimity, started by Karna during Mahabharat, or, even before, who knows! It’s also the sunlit path the path of true knowledge which is non-dual and beyond comprehension. How a simple ritual leads us back to the roots which is being-awareness is important for everyone to understand.

If Europe has to protect itself in the coming 20 years, it has to revive it’s cultural glory – it means it has to focus on soft power of art, poetry, literature, cinema, dance and spirituality firmly based on its roots and then integrate that with Vedas, Upanishads and other spiritual philosophies, mainly the Gita. Otherwise, without finding its own roots, and, going forward without a creative mindset blindly based on tech, it could land up with severe problems of class conflict, racism and other blunders hanging around in the world. Integration and adaptability are the keys to the future, otherwise, we are looking at a dungeon where hybridisation of culture could be like a hot cauldron where sentience is cooked till nothing remains of it…..
One has to protect flame, the nachiketa fire to purify the land from mess.
Diwali, now celebrated across the world, is a reminder to the fact that mind/body is just an illusion, when knowledge sparkles we are pointed towards the all absolute reality of Self/Awareness, non-dual everything which is beyond linguistic proclamations …..Tat Tvam Asi – you are that but not as any identity ….love is the ocean of rasa
Broken chalice, urns, and crashed warplanes are scattered like ravens feathers heaped on to the burial of the dead
And toys that roll down the ground, unstitched buttons, shards of broken mirror, yellow blue crayons –
all that consume silence and alarms
And far away tolling bells …
The gipsy flowers of a maidenless paradise, they may dream the real unsung song of songs
That day may the conch shell fill the air with amor dei for the human race
When the vapors arise and fall, when the smoke has cleared the daw, born from the calf’s tears at the sight of this horror, horror…(Mistah Kurz – he dead. /Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness)
3 artworks recently done. For exhibitions in Europe pls get in touch at joyr.choudhury@gmail.com or Mr Jeff Ross at London at jeffmross@aol.com Comments from around the 🌎 world on the Art-Consciousness:
“Joy Roy Choudhury works in arts and science to promote a worldview that allows the unification of science and spirituality and offers a new way of looking at life and the universe, I really appreciate this art project based on consciousness and think this is a new art movement that will be across Europe and Asia. ” – Dr. Ulisse Di Corpo, Author Research Specialist on Retrocausality, Statistics, QM and The Idea of Syntropy, Italy.
In the woodcut lithographs and serigraphs in the luminous moons of tetra-aeonic manuscripts, the pulsating pattern of her movement in poise, her dancing feet over icy waters, amazonites, corals, rubies and milkwood roses, strings the lyre’s ephemeral songs
They are sung in the orbs that dazzle in her celestial diadem and in the grasses that hung over blue bells or autumnal seeds
Gazing into the farthest stars and constellations
The Sagittarius in the reticulum of a night owl is the occult sacrifice of rice, grain and pulses They wave their hands to distant galaxies, to many other universes
The Song of Songs is crafted on the bark of a tree, in the Navajo mandalas, in the womb of the urn, in the clay pots that are painted with sparrows, barn owls, barley and wheat With pomegranates and flowers , the little humming bird talks to the rivers that are aspiring to meet the sea: the churning of it, in the glass-hours of dawn will repeat her birth in the meta-pollinating vessels of time over and over…- JRC (Future Poetry)
Comments on present art project: “I have been interacting with Joy and observing his art and the correlations he brings out almost spontaneously – the east and the west entwined in his works, the classical and the quantum world –
The landscape of world art is a network of a binary movement, expansion and contraction, that of causality and retrocausality. The collapse of the mant universal ensembles in the black wholes are portraits of the Krishna strings. The re-emergence of new Stellar nurseries from the white expanses of the inter-galactic infinite are the Sukla sutras. .. Artists around the world have treaded between these greyscales and portrayed the scheme of an intervening vibjyor, the middle part, the visible universe. .. What is the deep underbelly of realization of our Sages, the countless Rishis and Rishikas, is today the very focus of the Quantum and relativistic world, be it Quantum Physics or Quantum electrodynamics. .. Under the apparent surfaces of decomposition and warfare, there is a rise of a powered tide, a new sutra, a new weaving (tantra) of another fresh and bigger Renaissance in the offing. ..
To that Golden Age we reciprocate with full hope of revival, recovery and resurrection.
Perhaps the Mother Goddess, while she leaves for her Abode in Mt. Kailash, leaves behind her blessings….her Grace opens up many portals for transport of pure divine energy (double q-loop) ….we could start a new movement – an idea , a seed that blossoms into a lotus 🪷 a pure emblem of love and peace….shantih shantih shantih

The 8th Day as the Navratri reaches the zenith, Maa Mahagauri the 8th aspect of Devi Durga is worshipped to seek her blessings to bring peace and prosperity. She is symbolically connected with the Lotus and the Moon shining brightly, unveiling the origin of all mysteries.
When the night is luminous And the Jasmine flower devours the light of the bridal moon The lines written over the dusk light of rain Prays to the chariot and the charioteer of the sun That there will be no gun ….. And the sound of silence will bleat like lambs Folded in the misty tapestry of hills And I go seeking the mountain water That falls down the lap though many light years away And sinking beneath the ground where we live, touch and feel A flower’s dream in the honeycomb of cells That shelters the dove-like tree and pinewood birds In the arabesques of the Clear Light…..
Mata Kalratri, the 7th aspect of Devi Maha Gauri, is one of the fiercest in the pantheon of Navadurgas worshipped during Navratri. Historically she is the slayer of the two demonic forces Shumbha and Nishumbha, she rules over the crown chakra as mentioned in yogic texts, and, therefore, is the bestower of yogic siddhis and liberation.

Since the intensity of work has increased a lot, I have not been able to do enough today, each work required immense concentration, attention to develop the ideas, I hope I will be able to keep pace with time in future. I have added few photographs I have taken today to celebrate the saptami. – JRC
Devi Kaktayini, the 6th aspect of Maha Gauri is one of the fierce forms of the Mother Goddess in Shaktism; being the warrior goddess designated to slay the demon Mahisasura, she symbolically destroys the ego (the real demon) and akk its past karmic traces to eventually understand the absolute and the relative nature of existence. Along with Bhadrakali and Chandrika, she belongs to the pantheon of warrior goddess destined to purify earth and other planes in the manifold. She is mentioned in Patanjali’s Mahabhasya on Panini written in approximately 2nd century BC. She is also mentioned in Yajurveda, Taittiriya Aranayaka section, she is attributed to activate to the Yajna chakra to the her sincere devotees who are initiated or received her direct blessings. Markendiya Purana, Devi Bhagawatam and Skanda Purana and Kalika Purana all mentioned her power and her glory, spontaneously created out of the anger of the gods to slay the demonic nature. Odiyanna or present day Orissa is considered to be her resident place along with Lord Jagannath. 🌞 Lot of Buddhist and Jain texts have mentioned her name. – JRC
As the name suggests, Skandamata, holds Skanda, the child in her lap is Skanda (or Kartikeya, the War God) thus symbolising the Goddess of Motherhood. Her Abhayamudra with the infant in her lap, bestows the power to dispel darkness of ignorance, fear and anxiety. With the brilliance of the sun, she rides a royal lion and helps purify the heart chakra of the devotees. The purification or purgation of the heart chakra (Dante’s Purgatorio ) can only make way for realisation of maha-karuna or the Great Compassion that Buddha talked about. I have tried to integrate cultures without any differentiation, a new art movement perhaps, that celebrates human evolution and existence more than anything else. In such a state of elevated consciousness – there is no political agenda or power syndrome, only, a wish or a 🙏 prayer for all sentient beings.
We came forth as innumerable beings resonating with her energy
We crawl back into the womb
Where silence sleeps in the beauty of her being
A radiance in the void, her luminous steps
Who could write or express gratitude?
For love is One, across all planes of existence
Like child nourished by the seraphims
We have found the paradise in her Self.- JRC – on the 4th of Navratri, the aspect of Mother Parvati worshipped is Devi Kushmanda. As the name spells out, Kush meaning small, usma meaning energy and anda meaning the cosmic egg. To sum up, she is the one who created this universe like from a cosmic egg with her smile. The plasticity of the smile is the cause of the multitudes, she is ever worshipped for wellbeing and strength of all sentient beings, she nourishes them all, she is the creatrix of this creation.
The whole idea of celebrating Durga Puja 2023 which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Festival in Bengal, was to go back and forth in time, to recollect art from the aborigines, and, tribes of Australia, India, South East Asia, Tibet and South America, Scandinavia, and, merge them into a new template based on pure non-dual consciousness where cinema, poetry, art, photography and other forms of self expression including music and modern science can be put together as nodes in a network (cluster) which are forever connected like the structures of neurons in the brain – the microcosm to macrocosm within that structure where symbols are the carrier of our collective unconsciousness – the journey in the discovery of the SELF, not Soul, as described in the Upanishads – a quest from ignorance to knowledge – a process of creative evolution for humanity. On the 3rd day of Saradiya Navratri, Devi Chandraghanta is worshipped, one of the aspects Devi Parvati , with half-moon, signifier of blessings for peace, harvest and tranquility. These qualities, inherent in humanity as potential or possibility, needs to be invoked, and realised through her blessings connecting with planet earth in a meditative conscious way.

Comments: Wim Borsbom, Researcher and former Teacher, Archeology, Linguistics, Phonetics, Understanding of Brahmi Script , Netherlands: “You should have exhibitions… Your art is of course unique, but more than that, it is ultimately expressive TO the core, AND expressive OF the core of what is conveyed by your drawings — evocative to the max without any words alluded to or needed. Where it is symbolic of seemingly hidden messages, meaning comes through immediately… meaning though, that even if one tries to put it in words, surpasses any language. Your portraiture is radically “true” to/of the person depicted, “raw” (in the best sense of the word), free from judgement, embellishment or idealization…I value your art highly.”
Comments: Jeff Ross, Director and Founder, UK Skills and former Founder of E-Assessment Question Conf London:
“Joy Roy Choudhury, Artist Good artists walk across one or more tightropes, balancing the commercial versus the artistic, the representational versus the concept, perfection versus pragmatism, the challenging versus the desire for immediate satisfaction. Joy Roy Choudhury follows these traditions adding the challenges of music versus the visual arts, the balancing of differing cultural drivers, the modern world versus the classical. How refreshing to find an Artist willing and able to take these dialectics on and resolve them. Influences abound from the visual arts and the musical world, but here in his work is a fascinating insight into how those contentions can be shown, discussed and elaborated upon. Here is confidence in handling the ideas. There is a sureness of touch that says much about his understanding of both the process and the outcome. Each work interests, excites and then satisfies the eye. A welcome discovery and addition to the pantheon of Artists.”
Maata Brahmacharini, the 2nd aspect of Parvati is considered very auspicious as she guides the individual through the path of tapas and renunciation of desires for self-realisation. Wearing a white saree with a kumandulu in her hand containing the holy anointed water and a rudraksha mala for japa – she is the perfect form of a meditative goddess whose penance earns the recognition of the Self , which is non-dual pure awareness, the Shiva nature which is there in every sentient being.

I have tried to connect with her energy using cultural symbols so we understand the process of integration of a polysemic infinitude which is guided by a unitary consciousness, undifferentiated and whole. This realisation will take away any conflict or discrimination and the final outcome is celebration of our own sentience.

Sri Tapash Konar, Famous Visual artist, : “Interesting Journey with overlapping the common spirit.”
Dr Saikat Kumar Basu, Scientist : BioArt-Inspired by Nature: A New Emergent Art Form on the Social Media Platforms
“Joy is working on elements and narratives in history which are bio-inspired. Art is an expression of human mind and soul and a manifestation of inner self expression. It is defined and perceived according to both the artist as well as his or her audience, readers, translators, reviewers, fans and/or admirers, museologists, curators, collectors, critics and art historians. Art prevails in various forms and platforms like literature, dance, drama, music, acting, recitation, sketches, paintings, sculptures, handicrafts, folk arts, ethnic arts as well as prehistoric art left on rock faces and caves by our long forgotten humanoid ancestors.
Art therefore has been associated with human society even before the formal initiation of human civilizations across all the major continents. It has evolved over several millennia and acquired various styles, formats, motifs, fragrance, ethnicity, language, heritage and branding in different parts of the world. From modern art to Renaissance classics; and from tribal/aboriginal art forms to abstract art, the diverse world of arts and culture is a mesmerizing platform that deserves our sincere appreciation and support to further excel and evolve over time.
The recent boom of information technology, internet and the rise of social media as a major communication platform around the planet has also impacted the diverse field of arts in various forms like any other realms of human life. Some critics consider these widespread and rapid changes in the arts as positive; while others mark them as negative to the conventional art practices. However, none can ignore the importance of social media in our lives and it’s unimaginable deep penetration into our minds and thoughts. Hence, it is quite natural that this is certainly going to impact arts too; whether positive or negative is an entirely different area of discussion.
Under these circumstances and with the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions confining people indoors; new art forms have emerged and are booming in various social media platforms. One of them I have named as BioArt. Now you may ask what is BioArt and do you mean by it? Well to me BioArt as the name chosen by me is an amalgamation of two diverse disciplines of arts and sciences. In simple terms, BioArt encompasses any form of artistic expression by an artist that has central theme of Biology or Biological Sciences (Life Sciences) consciously or unconsciously in the final artistic output. It could be anything from real life sketch of plants or animals or figurines or wood/clay/glass/polymer models to unique designs made from subjects that are biological in both theme and origin.
To further illustrate, BioArt could be anything from a Japanese origami defining an animal or plant to models, figurine and even abstract with biological subjects of themes. But the best application of the term BioArt is applicable in designs or patterns or abstract art made or prepared from biological subjects or themes. This art form has been rapidly evolving in the social media providing an open platform for professional artists trained in art softwares or even those who are art amateurs. The new initiatives and possibly the free time available due to being confined at home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has been stimulating the development as well as rapid evolution into unique art forms strongly biological in theme and origin.
For me biological subjects such as images forms the basis of my BioArt initiatives. I like using pics of images of nature and wildlife and use softwares to develop unique and creative designs that can be used for commercial and industrial design purposes. These bio-imprinted designs are useful for designs to be used on furnitures, curtains, paper, plastic and ceramic containers, kid, male and female clothings, toilet items and gardening accessories, wall paper, tiles and floorings. Such designs could be used in the interior decorations of offices, chambers, laboratories, clinics, hospitals, diagnostic centres, gymnasium, shops, kiosks, malls, recreational centres, washrooms and toilets, beauty parlours, spas, pools, pubs and restaurants, hotels, motels, guesthouses, bungalows, meditation, religious and worship centres, movie theatres, interiors of public transport like tube rails, mono rails, railway carriages, trams, buses, cars, autos, totos, vanos and rickshaws. New and creative biological designs can have positive impacts on the consumers and customers and will further add to the artistic glories and uniqueness of a municipality, city, town or a metro.
The BioArt adds to the aesthetics of our daily life in a new and innovative form. The social media platforms are to be acknowledged at this point for their help in providing a portal as well as a diversified wide platform empowering and Eva long both professional and amateur artists to post and display their innovative artistic enterprises. Also due to the reach of the social media even to the farthest and remotest corners of our planets, BioArt has been booming exponentially as more people are being able to see, review, comment and provide constructive feedbacks in further improving or modifying the work of the artists involved.
This could easily transform into a new revenue source and provide self employment opportunities for several talented individuals over safe and recognized online money transaction portals and apps. Buyers and sellers could thus interact online maintaining social distancing norms and carry their trades forward during the pandemic. For amateur artists engaged in other professions this is a window of opportunity to both explore their available recreation time to enjoy their hobby as well intellectually contributing to the society through their innovative BioArt projects and in turn earn some revenues from their work as an additional income.
Creation as a Bubble in the Mind-Architecture- Beyond Intelligence-Processing Towards the Unknown Loveliness/Pic Source: dailygalaxy.com
Dialogue between the Master Architect and the Disciple Student/The Free-Learner Experience: Examination of the Laws of Creation and the ‘Intelligent Mind’ Behind All Student: We are isolated yet having a social structure that connects us using technologyArchitect: You have to admit that you all are individual self-organizing units that actually work in isolation as well same as in unison. I think you will not follow the above statement correctly because your judgment and the meaning-processing mind is not fully developed. Social connections i.e. between humans and with the environment is equally necessary as existence itself – different parts must combine and recombine to give essence to the creational principle which is both unison and differentiation. Here, of course, differentiation is not based on any injected social distinction that you have incorporated based on your conditioned prejudice and preferences. Even in the midst of deeper isolation which is a figment of your false ego, you are deeply interconnected with the world and with the creation. So, there is nothing called isolation in the sense that you have defined here contextually.Student: Do we have a ‘intelligent mind’ which can process ‘real meaning’ that makes sense to us and the creation?Architect: You have a mind that is primitive or aboriginal which is creative to the core but only when you step out to wear the mask that hides your real identity then you make barriers for yourself to process meaning because you then curb your natural instincts which are based on pure feelings. These barriers are already there in the false identity that you drag with yourself wherever you go thereby obscuring your ‘self’ to enjoy the ‘beautiful experience’ that creation allows bringing you on the brink of despair than enlightenment. ‘Pure Intelligence’ is like an ocean with waves that needs to be accessed, it’s like a stream flowing inside you from the origins – you have to be a perfect navigator or mariner to be in contact with the field where everything rests eternally. In different points of time in the history of your civilization, higher beings have arrived to give you a ‘message’ which afterwards was used by some foolish men on earth to propel their own ships of agenda. Once the process of meaning went wrong there was no chance of revival or recovery from that point. This almost explains if not fully the slow process of human development in terms of consciousness.Student: What is the ‘real meaning’ of our existence?Architect: The real meaning is not inside the truth that implicates the meaning but it’s residing in the mind which experiences this truth from one point to the other as you travel towards your origins both physically and non-locally. It’s all that you experience encapsulated in a decompression chamber about all that you don’t experience or will never experience or there to be experienced by anyone beyond any experience at all. That’s a very hard statement and a bit harsh like the cold wintry spell or the hottest summer without rainfall. Let’s for a moment sing this song, it’s a hymn:an apple entwined the sun that we see, inside and outsidewe ride the tide above belowzerolittle mind in a capsulelifts itself beyond time and space grace for us all we brace the loveliness in things!Student: Is our present knowledge efficient? What you mean by loveliness in things? Is there any thing ‘out there’?Architect: I think your calculus didn’t probe into loveliness in the proper way, it’s a classic case of non-alignment to the core principles of creation. What you have received so far is not knowledge but broken pieces or chunks of raw data that you stored as information systems in your brain as ‘qubits or in your machines as bits. This is very different from knowledge that exists in the creation as free to be used or accessed – this is primarily based on experience which I have already pointed out- that which comes to you naturally in your unconditioned mind – loveliness is a feeling centric experience which connects you to your perennial source. The source of this is within your self and also outside the physical finite realm that you cognize with apparently as ‘things known’ to you. What is known is alternately unknown to you and vice versa. Try to comprehend the deeper sub-strata of reality that confronts you which can be subsequently experienced irrespective of the social garb that you have created to make the world run its administrative functions. Everything is ‘out there’ as you experience and simultaneously ‘in here’ as you experience it, it’s only the loveliness that matters most, each adding value to the system by quantum integration of the multiple infinite sub-units that makes both the macro and micro-cosm which we sometimes call existence patterned as geometry of the unknown zero expanding and contracting for a life beyond experience into the pure consciousness of the loveliness that matters most and is of utmost significance.If you didn’t comprehend this then probe into the word ‘loveliness’, investigate the very structural symmetry underlying that information pattern, program the ‘qubits’ to process what you will in nanoseconds but still there is something that you will not know about this creation. But, for a second if you open your mind to possibilities without any sequential alignment to the creational mystery of loveliness you will know it as the face of the great moon or the tree ripening its fruit or the dog watching the sun hibernate beneath a thick veil of clouds bringing rain to end the draught of spiritual instability and utter neurosis.scattered sun everywherethe petals of the moon are rose-tinted hues pink or purple and white like the sea-foamwaves eternally inand outloveliness is the lonely child apprehending the creation in ‘things made from itself’when you are free as a quasar or as the ‘imoglitan vran’nothing is preconceivedso it can be a tree or a stone or a bullock cartAnd nothing at allExcept the loveliness…of a bird in flight…uncognized beauty is the true essence that is forever the labour of the creationrecognize yourself as a part within that…Student: I thank you for this dialogue, my final question and by no means the end of it all- Can we reach a higher stage in the creation by the process of evolution?Master Architect: The smallest point is a circle as a dot -it circumambulates the creation faster than light but you don’t see it. But if you can visualize it by the creative manifestation of your mind then you are reaching a grand scale in the process of evolution that other master races have comprehended. Miss-comprehension is a malady, a disease no-comprehension is even better than it. At the bottom of your self you are left with interactions that bring more interactive fields which generate the evolution of your biological and spiritual entity. We are all entities unconfined by the creational law – you and me and the creation itself are loveliness that we behold together as the constant play between the ‘player’ and the ‘architect’, the piper, each becoming the other and reversing the role till there is no role to be assumed or prophesied in the realm of the eternal loveliness where beauty wraps itself in the honey the butterfly seeks, each drop making the flower more dearer to itself and to nature, and, each strand of color in the wings making it happier to brush the air with the instinct of an artist hidden in the solitude of the bud reprise to the sun this very dialogue between the Creatrix and the Student of Transformation. In the end, just remember one thing – you are here to live the ‘eternal moment’ as you wished before you began!-JImportant Notice:
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mystery of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is not enough if one tries to comprehend only a little of this mystery everyday”. – Albert Einstein

It is what it is After the waves that broke into the lands The sea is calm again Amulets of the moon gravitate towards heavy stars Midnight echoes the dawn’s dewy wine Fractal flames of the scattered sun Commune with melting words, clocks Soon it would look like a lemon tart Scooped out of eternity Like a yellow Submarine Where the dead man lives Sings… Forever. In the young The blood green like ancient grass After the ice ages Grows into woods Where sages lived with their herdsmen and canaries One dark cloud and the storm brought us here In the whirlwind I found those words The black widow spider’s net worth in golds Tapping poison for sun’s nectar Wise after many holocausts and the dreaded dreams It is what it is A pointless question hangs from a tree Or drowns like posideon And missed the strength of a life force That cannot be fulfilled by Euler or Fermi
