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 🙏.

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

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.
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
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.
