Happiness cannot be found through great effort and willpower but is already present, in open relaxation and letting go. Gendun Rinpoche, 20th century #photography #poetry #buddhism #hindu #spéirghorm #speirgorm #streetphotography #imageandverse #artofbluesky #photographersofbluesky #eastcoastkin

A sadhu (holy man) reclines majestically on his mat by the roadside as a stream of pilgrims flow by walking the 14 km circuit around the holy mountain of Arunachala at Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India.

His orange clothing represents renunciation, while the extensive necklaces (rudraksha beads) are traditionally worn by devotees of Lord Shiva.

Other items for worship or daily sustenance surround him including alms bowls, food, water, a conch shell and small lamps for rituals.

wabi-sabi, 侘寂: an intuitive response to beauty that reflects an acceptance of the impermanent, imperfect and incomplete nature of things. #Photography #Haiku #Japan #India #Buddhism #Hindu #StreetPhotography #SpeirGorm #SpéirGhorm #ImageAndVerse #ArtOfBlueSky #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin

A traditional plain green roll-up bamboo chick blind fading in colour and with its woven natural slats beginning to disintegrate is used as a window screen to filter sunlight from the Old Hall, Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India.

A few months after Sri Ramana Maharshi's death in April 1950, a fire broke out in this deeply-revered meditation space where he had lived, received visitors and taught, but fortunately there was no serious damage.

In the 1970s, when termites were detected in the Old Hall, efforts were made to eradicate them but within ten years the insects had impregnated the walls and the roof, resulting in severe leakage, flooding and perpetually dampened walls that increasingly showed signs of severe stress and major cracking.

By the mid-1980s structural engineers determined that the deterioration of the building due to age, weather, and insects was so extensive that the entire building would have to be reconstructed. Great pains were taken to produce an exact replica of the original building and of the original fixtures and tiles (that were intact) were incorporated into the new building.

The renovated Old Hall was dedicated on the 5th December, 1986 and it remains a powerful, silent and authentic place for Self-Enquiry

Despite her shocking appearance, Kali is the great defender of all that is good in the world: her appearance is meant to put fear in the hearts of those who are evil, for no evil can stand before her. #Hindu #mythology #folklore

A depiction of Kali as blue-skinned, her belt made of severed hands, her breasts uncovered, her neck wrapped in two necklaces: a garland of flowers and a necklace of skulls. SHe has four arms: one covered in blood but free, one shielding a blood-stained sword, one holding a severed head from which blood actively drips, and the final hand holding a basin which collects the head's blood. Around her are the bodies of rakshasa and other evil-doers, and a bright light emits from behind her.
