Take a Pause and Lift Yourself from this Mundane Story: If you have the Will you will Find A Way

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

Veit Helmer’s Film “Gondola”: Exploring the Cinematic Poetics of Relationships in a Non-Dialogue Style

Gondola, 2023/Colour/85 mins/German directed by Veit Helmer

Press Conference on German Film Gondola

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.

🪔 Happy Diwali to All: Entry Knowledge Exit Ignorance through the Gateless Gate…

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

The Art of Offering Naivedya to Mother Lakshmi by a Ritualistic Surrender (Samarpan) of Optical Geometry of Beauty to the Eyes of the World

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.

Have You Ever Pondered on Celebrating the Dashami or Dussehra with Dante, Tagore and Botticelli?

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
