Technology of Spirituality - Short length video in HD - Video
Only a few people manage to capture their flow of thoughts in the visual form. Thankfully, Sudhir V. Phadnes, a freelance painter, succeeded in translating his vision of spirituality and yoga into art works which were on display at an exhibition which concluded at India Habitat Centre this week.
With the flow of time, the field of art has expanded its realm of inspiration and the artists today have greater freedom which also increases the level of complexity. With such a vast range of inspirations and ideologies, it is very difficult to translate ones ideas and thoughts into images.
In such a sea of ideas, Sudhir seemed clear of his jurisdiction and he never let his boat wander in a different direction.
A firm believer in yoga and spirituality, Sudhirhas produced work which beautifully reflects the ethnicity of the Hindu gods and the alleviation of the Sanskrit mantras and slokas shlokas.
Using a blend of rich colours, his work is built on the concrete of a lot of circular patterns and imprints. With the help of wax, he has managed to create millions of circles working in harmony to form an image which not only soothes the eyes, but also activates the brain to put efforts on figuring the pattern. Some of the serene images on the acrylic canvas represented Sudhirs imagination of the different ragas of classical Hindustani music and bindu that symbolises the integration of the male and the female gender.
There was an old hand use of the effect of waves of water in the ragas and different colours to represent the panchatatva seen in the paintings. Sudhirs work also represented various forms of power mainly citing the power of the Sun on the Earth and the depiction of the eclipses formed.
Every artist has a different opinion and a different perspective. I am a firm believer in yoga and spirituality and my work revolves around the areas that help in maintaining in a peaceful state of mind. It takes me around 20 to 30 days to make a painting and I use colours according to the meaning of the painting. I take my time to create these as there is immense pleasure and satisfaction for me in what I do. Hard work, determination and a positive mindset are the key ingredients for a successful artist, said Sudhir.

Masaya at kuntento si Alex Gonzaga sa takbo ng kanyang career mula nang bumalik siya sa ABS-CBN noong 2013.
Sabi niya, Yung contentment kasi, hinihiling mo yan.
Ako, hinihiling ko yan kay Lord na yun dapat ang laging nararamdaman mo and be grateful always sa mga blessings mo.
Pero minsan siyempre, parang may mga hinahanap ka pa rin. Kasi, di ba, endless naman ang wants ng tao?
"Pero yung needs naman natin, talagang ibinibigay ni God.
There should always be a conscious effort to be grateful all the time.
Pag naging grateful ka, dun mo mararamdaman yung contentment, just always be grateful and thankful.
Pag nararamdaman mo na nagiging negative, have a conscious effort na maging positive ka.
WELCOME 2015. Katulad ng mga nakaraang taon, ipinapasa-Diyos daw ni Alex kung ano man ang mangyayari sa kanya ngayong 2015.
Saad niya, 2014 is very unforgettable, not just for my career but also in my personal life.

ATHENS, Ga. (PRWEB) January 06, 2015
Author Milton E. Lopes goes beyond the usual collection of Lenten readings and devotions with his new book, Lenten Reflections: From the Desert to the Resurrection (published by WestBow Press), which takes readers on a 40-day exploration of spirituality for readers serious about improving their relationship with God.
This book will prove useful to those for whom spirituality is central to their being, Lopes says, for those who find little solace in simply giving up chocolate or some other pleasurable item during Lent.
Written for the mature and discerning layperson, Lenten Reflections begins with a journey through Lents theological and historical roots. This is followed by a reflection on the discipline needed to pass through the Lenten desert of fasting, prayer and penance on the journey to spiritual wholeness. Lopes sets out to rekindle in his readers the divine spark of the Holy Spirit by providing a perspective of spirituality that is challenging yet true to the teachings and example of Jesus.
True spirituality demands that we become mindful of our sinfulness and undergo a metanoia or a turning away from sin, Lopes says. Over the centuries, the Lenten season has proven to be a time of growth and renewal. This timely and practical guide to turning away from sin and realizing our highest purpose will help readers experience the merciful love of God and his healing grace.

Diversity of belief and spirituality is reflected in the Springville Museum of Arts 29th Annual Spiritual and Religious Art of Utah exhibition. The show, juried and hung in mid November, features works from Utah artists exploring the spiritual life of varied faiths, peoples and denominations. The exhibit will remain up through January 18.
Julie Hall, lead museum educator for the exhibition, said the celebration of spiritual experiences represented in the exhibit finds commonalities amongst varying beliefs.
This show celebrates the diversity of perspectives, faiths, and religious traditions in Utah, but it also seeks to find common ground amid diversity, Hall said. Our educational focus is on the sacred spaces, shared stories, and simple symbols that our visitors can find and relate to whether the artist is Jewish, Muslim, Christian, etc.
The dozens of pieces in this years exhibit encompass artwork from a range of media and styles, including a floor-to-ceiling installation of the Salt Lake City Temple made out of glass Coke bottles and an intricate cast bronze sculpture of an angel. Also exhibited are more traditional pieces created using oil, charcoal and pastels, as well as photography.
We have some exquisite oil paintings of very traditional religious subjects, but we also have symbolic installations and abstract pieces that prompt contemplation and reflection, Hall said. The exhibition is full of profound and beautiful pieces that are inspiring and powerful.
The exhibition was juried last month, with three artists claiming top spots. Placing third amongst the winners was Michael Hall with his bronze, Heart of Sorrow. Glenda Gleave took second with her oil-on-linen piece, Vessels of the Lord, The Garden Farewell. And Sean Diediker claimed first with his oil painting, Medicine Man.
Diediker, a Spanish Fork artist, called on his familys history with the Navajo of New Mexico for the inspiration behind his painting. Medicine Man depicts a Native American in Western hat and traditional Native American robes. Diediker created the painting from numerous photos taken during the years his grandfathers operated a trading post at Star Lake, New Mexico.
The post had dirt floors, Diediker said. My grandfather basically started from scratch and traded rugs and textiles with the local Navajo. The Navajo took my moms family in as their own.
In a nod to his roots, Diediker had a traditional smudge blessing where cedar, sage, sweetgrass and tobacco were burned in an abalone shell and the smoke spread with eagle fathers over the painting and artist performed by Winston Mason, a Native American from the Mandan/Hidatsa Nation of North Dakota. Diediker believes he owes the success of Medicine Man to the traditional blessing.
He blessed it a week before the show and basically said that wherever this painting goes, whatever home or gallery it ends up in, it will be blessed," he said. "Obviously that blessing worked.

ROANOKE, Va. (AP) - Jennifer Hoyt Lalli defies pigeonholing.
Lalli, a scientist with a doctorate in polymer chemistry, is president of NanoSonic, a regional company focused on nanotechnology. She relies at work on the predictability of the laws of science but is a believer also in the power of transcendent forces.
A self-described carnivore at heart, Lalli touts the healing power of whole grains. She is an avid hunter who has killed deer with bow, rifle and muzzleloader.
Born into a Catholic family, she is a baptized member now of Auburn Baptist Church in Riner. Lalli says the meditative time she spent in nature while deer hunting helped her find God. And peace.
She is also the 40-year-old mother of a 6-month-old son, whose presence in Lallis life and the life of her husband she attributes, like other blessings, to prayer, faith and sound nutrition.
Her new book cannot be pigeonholed, either.
Lalli self-published Hunt & Gather: The Healing Powers of Whole Grains, Lean Meat, and Prayer.
At its core, the 287-page hardbound book is a cookbook. But its original recipes include the ingredients that have helped change the lives of both the author and her husband, Chris, also 40.
The couples pastor at Auburn Baptist Church, Stanley Shake Smith, wrote the preface for Hunt & Gather, observing that it offers nourishment that is both physical and spiritual. His preface captures also what seems to be a key Jennifer Lalli trait: a full-bore commitment to the tasks she has embraced.
Smith wrote that Lalli poured heart and soul into the book.

Research shows prayer makes a difference.
A Florida State study found couples who prayed for each other were more committed to the relationship.
The more spiritual intimacy couples shared, the better they handled their main topics of conflict. The study shows it affects all couples with no differences in the impact regardless of social or economic class.
And additional research shows the positive effects of strong spiritual beliefs begin young.
A new study published by the American Psychological Association finds teenagers being raised in harsh living environments were less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol when they had access to churches and pastors.
A separate study of more than 5,700 kids and teens found attending church helped them feel connected to their parents and communities.

Each year, millions of people embark on spiritual pilgrimages or journeys that will take them across the globe in search of answers to lifes biggest questions. Bruce Feiler, a renowned expert on religion in modern life, took this feat to the next level, becoming the first person ever (he thinks) to complete six pilgrimages in one calendar year.
Feilers six-part PBS series, Sacred Journeys With Bruce Feiler, tells the story of his encounters with American pilgrims who traveled to Lourdes, Shikoku, Jerusalem, the Hajj, the Kumbh Mela and Osun Osogbo. Salon spoke with Feiler to learn about his groundbreaking, trying adventure and to learn about humanitys common quest for spirituality and meaning.
This interview has been lightly edited.
Ive been for most of the last 20 years going on religious adventure trips like this, Walking the Bible, Abraham, Where God Was Born. Walking the Bible became a three-hour series on PBS in 2006. WGBH, which is the public television station in Boston, came to me five years ago and said they wanted to do a show on pilgrimage, was I interested in partnering with them. And I said no. I said I didnt want to make a show that was a series of Wikipedia entries about strange people going on strange journeys in strange places. But what I said and what I felt then and what I feel now is: What is the thing you hear most often in religious circles these days? That is, Im not religious, Im spiritual. Im on a journey of some kind. And I really wanted to make a series in which whatever journey youre on you could find that reflected in what you were seeing on the screen.
So we got together. It took us five years. It was a year to plan it, a year to raise the money, a year to find the pilgrims, a year to shoot itI did all of these journeys in the course of one year. Im assuming or guessing Im the only person who has ever done it. It hasnt been logistically possible in the past. The pilgrim part was very important because in Walking the Bible, the TV show, I was in every scene basically and I was the one going through the intellectual and emotional transformation. But I obviously couldnt be expected to go through the emotional transformation in all these different places, so getting the pilgrims was really important because without the emotional component youve got those Wikipedia entries I wanted to avoid.
How did you find the featured pilgrims?
It was challenging because we needed to find people who were going, we needed to find people who were willing to share their story, but I think the power of the series at the end of the day is in their stories. Take Lourdes [France], for example: we traveled, as you know, with 40 wounded warriors. People have their legs blown off, they were blinded, an African-American sniper from Kansas who literally had a grenade go off in his mouth. They make this journey, and to me, the juxtaposition of these grizzled war veterans who have seen some of the worst of human nature and this 14-year-old peasant girl who sees the Virgin Mary 150 years ago, that tension between the purity of that story and the intensity of the veterans is remarkable. And where the emotion of the show comes from.
It then took us a year to get permission from the Pentagon because this had never been put on film before. So were not just getting permission from the pilgrims, it was getting permission from all the people around them. So thats an amazing, remarkable story that Im thrilled people are going to get a chance to see.
What is the difference between spirituality and religion? How is American religion evolving in relation to that difference?
Well, I think that organized religion is more threatened than ever before. Attendance is down, membership is down, but its not down that much. Heres what I think is going on. The idea that you would go to a building at the time of the buildings choosing and sit in a pew while someone stands up on a high platform like a mountain and tells you what to think and believe from a text that has been closed for hundreds or thousands of yearsevery part of that is completely anathema to how we live today.
