India is the home of spiritual pursuit where philosophy has soothed each mind ravaged by the turbulence of life and it's consequent intellectual sufferings. Art divine is a concoction of philosophy and tradition seen in symbolic 'digital instead of sculptural' forms with a similar intention.

Digital art has provided artists to customise art to greater satiety levels for the connoissuer who ardently invests in making dreams happen at the interiors of her/his home or workstation infact everywhere one chooses to be. Art divine promises a journey of visual imagery that's personal and gratifying.

THE JOURNEY...The Vedic deities and concepts of conservation of nature [Prakriti]...




"May we attain that excellent glory of Savitar the god:

So may he stimulate our prayers."

—The Hymns of the Rigveda (1896), Ralph T. H. Griffith[12]

Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥtát savitúr váreṇ(i)yaṃbhárgo devásya dhīmahidhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt

VARUNA [on MAKARA]: Griswold mentions him as a force that would be the only monotheistic deity up to the Roman empire [Mithra worship up to 4th century BC] in the Indo European period...

Varuna of the Rg Veda/Vourukasha of the Avesta is equated to the Greek God Poseidon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varuna

The ancient Hindu scriptures believed that he was the lord of the cosmic order....and the universe was equated to an ocean....hence he was 'Lord of the oceans'


 

The mortal self passes through these...At the lower part...wealth and pursuit of worldly issues [dharma, artha, kama] are represented. Midway is Yama [death]. The higher part shows water, energy and the absolute world into which the mortal body goes seeking moksha. All of us do this. None of us perceive the absolute until Bhaga [destiny]decides so. This is the primeval Vedic Bhaga...destiny...

Bhagya hymn containing the Vedic deities: [Rig veda 7/41 rishi vasistha maitravarunee and Taittereeya 2 8 9]
 
 
 
Vedic times and regard for mother nature....

VAC was born of Brahma [Absolute], represented by the central lotus.

Rig Veda V 1.164.45 has:
catvâri vâk párimitā padâni / tâni vidur brāhmaṇâ yé manīṣíṇaḥgúhā trîṇi níhitā néṅgayanti / turîyaṃ vācó manuṣyā̀ vadanti"

Speech hath been measured out in four divisions, the Brahmans who have understanding know them. Three kept in close concealment cause no motion; of speech, men speak only the fourth division."

These lines are from:

Speech sound:

Metaphysically, sound has the phonemic component understood as language/music by sense-perception - the other part of 'vac' remains beyond perceptive realm.
 
 
PUSHAN: Of the journey....

Panchabhutas: Akasha: Dyaus: The 'imperceptible' from which the 'perceptible' is derived...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akasha

The patriarchal Vedic society describes dhyava prithvi...the earth mother and sky father...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyaus_Pita

Dyaus seems to be the anthropomorphic version of the imperceptible...
 
 
PRITHVI:

Rig veda mandala 6/70, Deity - mahi dhyava prithvi, Seer - Bharadwaj Barhaspatya, Meter - Jagati ...May the mother earth, fertile with the keeper of the cosmic order[varuna-mitra] keep vitality alive...

Do we see a comparison between: How our ancestors saw mother earth and the recent theories of environment?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prithvi

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis

 The ancients prayed to forces of nature and valued them...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala_5

The 'bhoo sukta' [Yajurveda taittiriya samhita kanda 1 prasna 5] sees her as 'vayu mati' [detailing the atmosphere], 'jala shayani' [detailing the oceans and cosmic ocean/varuna/mitra] who presides over every ritual - 'yagne yagne vibhishini'[life, natural disasters, imperceptible events]...She's the consciousness of the pitris [ancestors] in our time, nurturing us...

 
Ushas, the dawn goddess of Vedic religion, is a process....the process of dawn and dusk through which the sun moves through the zone that she connects as the daughter of the sky[Dhyava] and earth[Prithvi].

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ushas

W J Wilkins in 'Hindu mythology'...She is young, being born everyday: and yet she is old, being immortal, wearing out the lives of successive generations, which disappear one after another.


 
Agnimile purohitam yajnasya devam rtvijam hotaram ratna dhatamam...

First line Rg Veda....The agni [latin ignis] hymn that notes the first priest and performer....

[Composing seer: Madhuchchandaa vaishwaamitraa, meter: Gayathri]
