Shata Bishak - 100 Surgeons

The Javanese temple is in 3 tiers.
A pyramidal base with 5 concentric square terraces; a truncated cone, with 3 circular platforms, and at the top - a monumental stupa.

Vertical progression of the Buddha Ur temple from base, body and superstructure is in sync with a concept of the Universe.

The concept of Kama dhatu, Rupa dhatu and Arupa dhatu.
The realm of desires, realm of forms and realm of formlessness.

first quarter @ Anusha arch

Source of life has no face of it's own, no hands of it's own, no eyes of it's own.

But if you are silent, peaceful, loving, then suddenly your hand starts quivering, with a new source of energy.

Godliness is simply a way of life, a lifestyle, simply a certain way of falling in tune with all that surrounds you.

To accept this simple fact - that your daily life is your temple and your religion, is going to be a great transformation.

True religion is not in places of worship - Osho

Third quarter @ Bharani


Thought is food.
Mind is food - in subtle form.
Down the ages, there has been a search for food that strengthens the no-mind.

Because, beyond the body, mind and soul there is something that is not food. It is utter emptiness, woid, shoonya, content-less consciousness.

If you talk less, listen less, slowly there arises in you, a cleanliness, a  purity - as if you have just taken a bath. The soil, for meditation to take root.

- What you consume forms, your body, mind and soul. - Osho

The detail of the pattern is movement,


As in the figure of the ten stairs.

Desire itself is movement

Not in itself desirable;

9 summer nights '20

Transactions with the world leave impressions of many hues - in your mind. But, in deep sleep, mind does not transact.

Your own mind is the wide, expansive world.

This very mind, if for only a moment, connects with the beginning-less, endless, imperishable, truth, consciousness, bliss, eternal, pure and the free principle of Brahman - then it gets liberated from all impressions.

Wi-Shaka - branch-less

Mind is a baffling phenomenon.

You have never seen it, touched it, smelt it, tasted it, you have never heard it. It is not perceivable by the 5 senses. Yet it exists.

It exists because you don't know who you are, what the truth is.

But when you move into the zone of meditativeness, mind dies. When it is thought-less, memory-less, wasana-less, mind vanishes.

first quarter @ Phalguna

When one becomes a deepest valley of reception, highest peaks of consciousness can be given.

If one is so receptive, that one has no mind of one's own, one is simply an emptiness. Then, words and symbols are not needed, something can be given.

Real thing follows the words - like a shadow.
