Devotion is you. Devotion is me. Devotion is us. Art is Devotion

Devotion:
Devotion simply means dedication. Dedication comprises of commitment - an arduous yet burning passion to miraculously achieve what we desire..!
“Devotion” brings to mind God, the Almighty, a spiritual energy with such extreme divinity that one follows his blind faith and surrenders to the Lord.

Devotion is you. Devotion is me. Devotion is us.

For a child it is purely in studying hard, for a true devotee - in praying, for an artist in immersing himself in the splash of colors, a farmer – in toiling hard, for the warkari sampraday - marching all the way to pandharpur! It is oneness with God! It is apparent manifestation of words, art, music, painting, and the beautiful chirping of birds, a mother’s lullaby, and the serene beauty of nature!
An artist dreams his paintings. He devotes time, energy and paints his dreams on canvas. The nature poises for the painter and with his graceful strokes he paints her serene beauty. Consequently, one can perceive that from Devotion springs up ultimate uniqueness.
Devotion is “bhav” - an expression. Expression is varied states of mind, like happiness or sadness, religious observance or hatred, consistency in pure thoughts, words and deeds. A positive vibe or a negative force all combines to form devotion which finds its way through elegant brush strokes and vibrant colors.
Devotion is “bhakti’’- Optimism, an intangible quality that shows the way towards ‘nirvana’ absolute salvation. Through profound dedication, one can attain self actualization and can observe complete tranquility - outside inasmuch as within. The holy monks from the great Himalayas create an aura of peace and radiance whilst embracing utter devotion.
Devotion is Bhav (Art by: Samadhan Majare)
If we could say it in words there would be no reason to paint! The emotions find their way in paintings and mesmerize us in lively colors that truly placate us with a zealous passion to paint.
 Ultimately, adherence to one’s values and morality, consistency in fair behavior towards all, feeling of gratitude and playing with colors sums up DEVOTION!!!
