Ganesha Mandala

As soon as the first Mandala was ready, the need to keep making more Mandala's became intense and with the Ganesh festival around the corner, it seemed to be the ideal theme to choose to pursue the "making magic with the Mandala" and the result was the second creation out from the Mandala stable.

This took a week and is now ready to be framed and ???. The pure energy that flows out of this Mandala is entirely due to the presence of Ganesh the destroyer of all obstacles and there was this nervous energy during the week to get back to finishing the Mandala.

All in all a fulfilling experience with results there for all to see :-)

My First Mandala

It just so happened that a cousin of mine came home to show me her painting and I was really inspired by it. What I had been dabbling with since 2000 as a on and off exercise, I felt should be taken up in earnest and here's the result: My 1st Mandala on a more organized scale. Shubha offered to help with making all the purchases for my mandala painting journey and with my friend Bharath's engagement fixed for, a couple of days later, "this was the best moment to begin" was my instant instinct!

With loads of help from Raksha and Deeksha, here's what transpired, given the urgency.

There was both wonder and surprise at how those 2 days unfolded with the Mandala and that led to further inspiration to keep the momentum going. The pure energy invested in the moment without mind chatter that is a constant companion for most of the time, what finally evolved is what you see in the picture.
