YANTRA Mandalas: WHAT IS THEIR PURPOSE Yantras are generally geological designs imprinted on a copper or silver plate. These days we also see them in multi-colored inks on paper. Among the sacred symbols manifested by the Vedic Rishis, yantras are predominantly regarded as devices for devotional sadhanas or practices, and as objects to direct our mind and worship. These are used as tools for mental concentration and meditation. Keeping a specific yantra in a particular direction in the home, and worshiping it and concentrating upon it is said to have distinct auspicious effects. A mantra is the generator of specific currents of sublime sound and its perceivable manifestation; a yantra is a monogram - a spectrograph of this sonic energy....

To perform Namaste, we place the hands together at the heart chakra, close the eyes, and bow the head. It can also be done by placing the hands together in front of the third eye, bowing the head, and then bringing the hands down to the heart. This is an especially deep form of respect. Although in the West the word "namaste" is usually spoken in conjunction with the gesture, in India, it is understood that the gesture itself signifies Namaste, and therefore, it is unnecessary to say the word while bowing. We bring the hands together at the heart chakra to increase the flow of Divine love. Bowing the head and closing the eyes helps the mind surrender to the Divine in the heart. One can do Namaste to oneself as a meditation technique t...

Back in Egyptians times, the lotus flower was very important in their religion. Meaning creation and rebirth, it was a symbol of the sun, because at nightfall it closes and goes beneath the water and at dawn it climbs up above the water and reopens. It was the only plant to flower and fruit at the same time, as it would emerge as pure white from the depths of the muddy swamp and grow above the water. One myth that revolves around the lotus is during creation time a giant lotus flower grew out of a pond and from it the sun rose. Also, throughout ancient Egypt the lotus has been pictured in various works of art. It would act as a border to outline a section of artwork, or held in the hands of a god or human. The lotus was also used in the...

Gorillas can digest cellulose. This allows for full usage of the plant fibers, which would be impossible for human "vegetarians" or other animal "herbivores". Gorillas, when put on grain diets (corn, rice, bread, potato, etc) get fat, and a whole set of health problems. These are some (not all) of the health problems: obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, arthritis, depression, lethargy, muscle weakness. An amazing thing is that a Gorilla's digestive tract is long and is capable of converting cellulose into omega-3 fatty acids! Omega-3 acids are very important for brain health (and nerve health aka central and peripheral nervous system), and supplying the coating to the plasma membrane (every cell has a phospholipid bilayer of fat tha...

OPTICAL ART Widely interpreted as a reaction to abstract expressionism, Pop art emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain (and the late 1950s in the United States) as a challenge to traditions of elitist imagery in fine art. Drawing on items from popular culture such as advertising, comic books, newspapers and magazines, the material used by Pop artists was often isolated from its original context and juxtaposed with unrelated imagery.

Hunab Ku is an ancient Mayan symbol that represents the joining of opposites. Hunab means "one state of being" and Ku means "God". Masculine and feminine, analytical and intuitive, objective and subjective, yang and yin, conscious and unconscious, external and internal-the Hunab Ku speaks to the abyss between opposing forces and, in fact, serves as a bridge between them. The archetype of the Hunab Ku is the "space between" that reflects oneness with God and the unity of all things.Hunab Ku is a Maya deity whose name means "The Only God". It seems strange to find such a thing in the Maya pantheon, but there it is. Is this monotheism? Did the Maya have a belief in an all-knowing creator god? Could this be the trump-card example for ancient...

Joseph Roulin is Van Gogh's close friend when he was staying at southern French town Arles during 1888-1889.
