Artist's Notes
“In the company of Saints, the sense that ‘I exist’ is lost, and then EkOnkar, One Universal Vibration, is seen everywhere.”
– Guru Arjun Dev ji (Guru Granth Sahib, 189)
In this painting of Krishan ji, I really enjoyed meditating on Guru Gobind Singh ji’s translation of Bhagvad Gita, and also this line by Guru Gobind Singh ji from his own work of Krishnavtar –
ਬਾਲ ਰੂਪ ਹ੍ਵੈ ਉਤਰਿਓ ਦਯਾਸਿੰਧੁ ਕਰਤਾਰ ॥
(Dayasindhu) That Ocean of Grace, (Kartar) the Creator, became the form of the Child [Krishna] and arrived here (on Earth).
Here I really enjoyed Guru ji’s symbolic use of ocean to indicate the vast nature of the Graceful Creator. So in my painting, you will see Shri Krishan ji emerging from the Ocean of Grace to Grace humanity with His Play.
