Yoga Art


I took this book Yoga Art by Ajit Mookerjee out at the library, and it has really inspired me in the past couple of days.

Some of the works in the book date back to the 15th century, yet look like they could have been produced yesterday. The forms are so simple, yet they reference things much greater and complex.


I think this quote kind of sums things up:
"According to yoga, the disciplines of science, metaphysics and philosophy must converge in the artist with a personal mysticism that penetrates the confused surfaces of experience to extract the principle of being."
