Aatmaja
Aatmaja (Renu Pande, Shirpur, Dist. Akola) G. D. Art, Dip. A. Ed., A.T.D. is a devoted volunteer of Shree Sant Seva Sangha. Aatmadnyaan is a series of paintings based on the manifold aspects of spirituality such as Dnyan-Bhakti-Yoga, the principles from spirituality and the manifestation of Kundalini Shakti. The series came into form through Aatmaja’s experience.
Aatmaja says that "Earlier I had a liking for portraits & landscape drawings. But, in the year 2003, I got acquainted with the work of Shree Sant Seva Sangha and my spiritual guru Pu. Shree Sanjay Guruji. Gradually, I started getting introverted with his lectures and the regular reading and contemplation of Shreegeeta-Dnyaaneshwari.
My perspective towards art completely changed. Instead of creating just beauty through art, I felt like manifesting the depth of spiritual thoughts through colors and forms. To convey the spiritual principles necessary for the development of an individual & society by all possible means is the right way to serve the society. Thus, with a view of carrying immortal happiness to them, I resolved to propagate the divine thoughts from spirituality through my paintings. Through this notion, came into form the series of paintings - Aatmadnyaan. I donate all these paintings selflessly to Shree Sant Seva Sangha and its Jeevanvratees".
