Nkosi Sri Govindaji: Swayam Jyotis, 2023 Signed

Swayam Jyotish (Swai-yam Jo-ti) or Effulgent Light. The light from this container of photographs is non-dual from the innate light within each one of us. So too is physical light reflected in a jar of water or subtle light projected from the Chitta (mind-heart) in dream state. At its best the camera is a simple tool to transfer light through a lens recorded by a censor. At its root, consciousness is all-pervading and who we are. Consciousness, the Light of lights, proceeds from us and lends itself into the moment. The practice of Vichar (self-inquiry) reminds us of that same light appearing as the Jiva (individual-soul) and leads us to the revelation of Atman (universal-soul) and "Who Am I?" With that realization Nkosi Sri Govindaji approaches India with complete adoration and awareness of the Absolute Self in all, Brahman.   Project Dimensions: Small Square, 7×7 in, 18×18 cm Number of Pages: 72 Paper Finish: Mohawk Superfine Eggshell 402# Double Thick (596 GSM)  Creation Date: June 09
