Thank you to everyone who entrusts me with their stories and commissions a painting. ❤️
I often reflect on the fact that without you, these images might never have manifested in this world. They are born from love, faith, and prayer, and come alive only when someone feels them with all their heart.
This is how The Eternal Relationship came into being-a moment of extraordinary grace, when Gurudev placed His lotus feet upon Annie’s Annie Winger heart. She wished to preserve this sacred moment on canvas, and for me it was a profound honor to bring it to life with my brush.
Every painting begins with an idea and a composition. First, I create a sketch on my iPad, and together we refine every detail. Only then does the real magic begin. The painting seems to unfold on its own, revealing new symbols, deeper meanings, and subtle signs that were never part of the original plan.
For example, the pond originally contained two fish, but as the work evolved, they transformed into a turtle. The day before, Gurudev had gifted Annie a turtle-shaped ring-a beautiful symbol of withdrawing the senses from the external world and turning inward, finding refuge in the heart where the Divine eternally resides.
One of the most touching blessings was that Gurudev personally signed the painting, carefully rolled it with His own hands, and sent it on its journey across the ocean to its new home in New York.
From the depths of my heart, I offer my gratitude to Gurudev for blessing this work, and to Annie for her trust and for giving me the opportunity to paint such a meaningful and devotional scene. I pray that it will continue to inspire, reminding everyone who encounters it of divine love, grace, and the quiet presence of God, touching many more hearts. ❤️🙏
Namaste.
Jai Gurudev. 🌸
