BM Art Workshop

The Bhakti Marga Art Workshop finished today with many happy participants. It was a very creative group and everyone made beautiful paintings. We enjoyed the special atmosphere set by the meditative music or by working in silence, and felt many blessings and love!
We will continue this creative art work, once a month. Here are some impressions from the workshop:

Gauri SPN (Kristelle Sim)

Thank you, Jaahnvi, for all the guidance, help, and encouragment you gave during this workshop. You were so generous with your time and attention. You gave us all the opportunity to learn to be patient, to stop judging ourselves so harshly, to learn how to see more clearly, and to let ourselves flow with the energy of love that moved the brush. 
There is so much here to be learned that is far beyond the paper, pencil, brush and paint--what a gift it is to be a Resident here and have this chance to practice this very special form of sadhana. Thanks again for this extraordinary experience, and for the invitation to come back for more every month!

"Painting is Meditation" Sri Swami Vishwananda

Painting of Babaji with Mataji Gitanjali

        We have organized a very special seminar. 

Mataji Gitanjali had prepared the participants of the painting  seminar to help her with the wallpainting in the Babaji Cave. 

         On the following day they had painted a portrait of Babaji. 

Krishna painting seminar

During the days of the Bhagavad Gita seminar with Swami Vishwananda we offered a Krishna painting seminar in the Bhakti Marga Art atelier.

 This mervellous Krishna energy , that was felt in SPN, inspired and supported the group, which was paint of the creativ work.

Our youngest "artist" Sophia and also other members, were very pleased with this work and showed lot of endurance.

We will repeat this offer in the future.

Painting of Mother of God-Icons

Painting of Mother of God-Icons

with Jaahnvi from May 9 – 11, 2014 

Painting images of the Virgin Mary with infant Jesus belongs to the oldest and most known motives since the beginning of icon painting. After the imaging of Jesus Christ on icons it was the paintings of Holy Mary with infant Jesus that the church allowed to be shown as an idol of the Divine.

Therefore these representations have a long tradition up to the present time and have developed very much in church-art in different religious directions. Especially in the Russian-Orthodox church there is a great variety, where the Madonna-icons have their own names, depending on how she is depicted with the infant Jesus.

Mary was the mother of Jesus and a servant of God by consciously experiencing and fulfilling her destiny.

She is the mother but also his pupil, joined in God’s love. To paint Madonna-icons is also a deepening and an inner experiencing of this particularly deep and unconditional love.

We immerse into this world through painting, it is enriching and a very beneficial process for all participants. It is also a prayer to Mother Mary. 

Start:  Friday, May 9th at 2.00 pm
