अहं ब्रह्मास्मि (aham brahmāsmi) — I’m All and all is me


 aham brahmāsmi (अहं ब्रह्मास्मि / অহং ব্রহ্মাস্মি) is a Mahāvakya (one of the summaries) of the Upanishads from the Yajur Veda. It means, “I am Brahman” or ‘I’m the Divine’. The philosophy of Advaita Vedanta implies the oneness of the individual self (Atman) with the universal reality (Brahman).


This mix media painting 8.44” x 6” is my humble articulation and visualization of the Mahāvakya. I look forward to your interpretation of this canvas, as comments.

তিয়াদি (Tia Di)

Dear তিয়াদি (Tia Di),

We miss you!


Didn’t know that someday I’ll paint this. Had I been gifted, would write a requiem, a music that matched your passion for Life. You were always full of Life. Please accept my humble homage inspired by your love for colors. Fondly remembering the days in the foothills of himalaya.

Our love goes to Krishna Kaki, Soumya Da, Tisha, Priyanka and Mitadru from Saumya, Arnab and Chirantan.

This mix media painting is 24” x 26” and product of a night of silence.
