“Pralay”, 2020 | from the series “Kim-kartavya-vimudhah”
Dipayan Ghosh

Description: As the novel coronavirus scavenges the planet, leaving death and mayhem in its breadcrumb trail, we wonder, is one of Mother Nature’s ways of resisting humanity’s assault on her essential life systems. Is it what James Lovelock mentioned in “The Revenge of Gaia”? While the nature continues its beautiful life; only pushing the humans in cages; this “pralay” (storm) etches a message loud and clear; its high time humanity reconsiders its relationship with nature.

“Adhiṣṭhāna”, 2019 | from the series “Heartland Harmonics”
Dipayan Ghosh

“Adhiṣṭhāna” expresses the initiations or blessings in Vajrayana Buddhism. The term adhiṣṭhāna is also used to describe the transformative power of the Buddha. According to D. T. Suzuki: “The Buddha is creative life itself, he creates himself in innumerable forms with all the means native to him. This is called his adhisthana, as it were, emanating from his personality. The idea of Adhisthana is one of the Mahayana landmarks in the history of Indian Buddhism and it is at the same time the beginning of the 'other-power' (tariki in Japanese) school as distinguished from the 'self-power' (jiriki).”
